Abstract
Our research indicates that, historically, Unesco had been an Organization of high impact in a symbolic level. The support from this Organization of the UN to sciences, educations and cultural initiatives implies funds, experts, fellowships and, the most important, the symbolic credit of an international organization. The objective of this paper is to analyze that. Then we study an emblematic support of Unesco in Latin America: la creation and sustenance of the Latin American Faculty of Social Science (Flacso) since 1950 decade.
