Ecuación Estado-sociedad civil en América Latina

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to read about the type of Latin American state configurations and the articulation with their respective civil societies in the post-dictatorship period, with an emphasis on the progressive state cycle that emerged in the early 2000s in the region. We start from the assumption that Latin America has transited since the beginning of the XXI century by an alteration in the classic ways of constituting in its way a "historical block" -to which we understand from the Zavaleta Mercado`s translation of "social equation"- as an approximation to the dynamics of construction of hegemony from above and to the disruption of social/popular movements from below in contemporary democracies. As a consequence of the proposed analysis, we plan to give an account of the importance of the gramscian view of the State and society for the study of the tensions and current agreements that occur in Latin America, while, between the temporalities of social movements and the political struggles for the State, that gap of statehood is configured in which the disputes are located for the consensus between dominant classes and subalternized sectors
