Summary/Abstract: Since they achieved national independence, the people of Latin America have fought to abolish their subordination to external power, to do away with structural crisis, to create economical self-determination and political sovereignty. In different historical periods, different strategies, modernizations, models and responses came into being in order to reach these goals. These strategies, models and responses have also had a great influence on the development of political theory. As its starting-point, this study takes the book ‘Guerrilla Warfare’ by Ernesto Che Guevara, which summarizes the continental experience of the Cuban revolution through a special system of categories. Moreover, the study surveys the process of six decades which led to the system of new transversal categories.
