- Title
Archetipes of compensatory policy in Latin America.
- Authors
Salgado, Jorge Arzate
- Abstract
The present paper is built up from two archetypes referring to the different forms of social intervention through state compensatory social policies carried out in Latin America during the first decade of this XXI century. It starts from the assumption that social policy is a device, and therefore, analytically speaking, it has the capability of producing changes in at least three aspects of the social sphere: the social structure, the inequity-violence system and the social institutions. In methodological terms, this type of analysis allows a better understanding of the nature of the state's actions in regards to its capability and limitations to produce a specific type of society and economy; the way society is structured with the inequity-violence; the social action processes generated by political subjects and that create a tension field around the vulnerability issue.
