Abstract
The present reflection aims to show what the intertheoretical relationships within the structuralist program consist of, in a general way, given that there is a change of approach in relation to the inherited conception and, in the same way, what are the basic units that allow us to understand how the different links work in this field. As an exercise in theoretical inquiry, it is supported by the textual analysis of Carlos Ulises Moulines' theory. The reflection led to show a typology of the types of intertheoretical relationships, basically a micro-type relationship, such as theorization, and a macro-type relationship, such as reduction and equivalence.
