- Abstract
This article proposes a reading on the transformation of the state in Latin America. Our initial guess starts from the analysis of the relationship of weakening and strengthening of the State as relationship and Institution, respectively. We consider the dynamics of the State are associated to the weakening of the principle of social relationship (State form) and to strengthening of administrative forms (institutional unit), owed to the intensification of the process of domination and plunder which is characteristic of the business model adopted in the region. We conclude there is a systemic reading of social reality according to these changes which generates fragmentary diagnoses thereof, as the ones made by CEPAL on the Outlook reports. Therefore, we propose to return to categories such as social class and totality to understand the antagonism founding of the State and the structural origins of the crisis like social order and condition.
