How could Latin America overcome its structural crises (political, economic, social)? What are its main obstacles?
The economics of Latin America and the Caribbean in the XX century is one key to understanding the problem, but not the only,
Secondly, the political systems in Latin America and the Caribbean plagued of populism, militarism, technocracy and its influence on democracy, guerrillas and dictatorships.
Finally, globalization, and the spread of social models of consumption that have led to the degradation of ecosystems.
What are the most pressing problems for the continent? What are the recipes or those that should be avoided?
I am not an expert but I dont agree with apocalyptic or exagerated visions. here are countrys in Lain American with parameters more or less normals in the political and economical life, as Chile, Costa Rica, Panama or, in leftist options, Bolivia.
The works of Gunder Frank, Walter Rodney, Immanuel Wallerstein, Fidel Castro, Kwame Nkrumah, and other Dependency theorists should help you gain deeper knowledge.
The problems of Latin America and the Caribbean are very similar with those faced by Africa as they are legacies of Neocolonialism. Kwame Nkrumah, Walter Rodney, and Claude Ake provided deep insights into the holistic understanding of Neocolonialism and its mechanisms in so-called "undeveloped" countries. Read their works if you have not; I can send you two or more of their online-printed works in PDF format.
I thank you Obebinaru, but it is neither a lack of material nor of understanding, moreover, I have dozens of colleagues who know a lot about the subject - even I can get the material - so I ask you not to consider my question as an act of ignorance, since it seems that you would like to put me in that situation, but rather an open question. On the other hand, the problems of Latin America and the Caribbean, I do not think they are so similar to those of Africa, it would be a fatal reductionism, if we cannot even talk about the problems of Latin America in general, but we would have to disaggregate each country, even by regions within the same countries.
In relation to the first answer, it is not apocalyptic or exaggerated at all. Historical lessons can give us an idea that this is not the case.

Bolivia, I don't need to add anything, there are thousands of pages that would prove me right.
My question aims to understand the present - not apocalyptically as this gentleman pointed out above, through recent and not so recent events. Why crises recur or arise in those countries that seemed to maintain a line of stability.
I also asked what were the most important problems on the continent, that is to say, those structural problems or those that were most replicated in the various regions - delinquency, poverty, unemployment - which were the most common.
and which, according to each one's criteria, could be the solutions or the beginning of the solutions and which actions would have to disappear in the field of politics, economy etc.
In short, neither is it an apocalyptic question nor is it a lack of knowledge that one and the other wanted to sound in their questions.
In my opinion, the crisis in Latin America is caused by the lack of educational systems that allow for the formation of citizens with critical minds, with ethical and moral personalities capable of proposing development projects without being shrouded in corruption.
Get Castro's Cuba system down, get the commies. As simple as that, Prof. Pablo. Once forever. No Mercy upon commies!
The joint of populism and militarism are new gained skills for internacionalistas + the lack of attention from US policy during Obama and previous administrations.
El patio trasero se les lleno de basura, no les interesó en lo más mínimo lo que nos pasaba a lo interno en nuestros países, ahora la tienen en su propio jardín.
US South command recently joined the slogan "enduring promises" with most Latin American countries. I guess is too late. The commies are everywhere, unfortunately.
