Cinco sexenios de política social en México
description
Within specialized literature, it is usually affirmed that Mexico transformed its social policy model at the end of the 1980s. In this article, we argue that this sort of generalization is only valid in terms of indicating a modification. Moreover, we find the affirmation insufficient in terms of its characterization of the Mexican social policy as it does not identify tendencies and particularities during the past 30 years, nor does it contrast the differences with the previous social policy model. In order to sustain our arguments, we first bring forth a genealogy of Mexican social policy focused on the time-period of 1917-‍1988. We then analyze the perspectives, norms, institutions and actions carried out during the past five presidential periods (1988-‍2018). Finally, we compare the conceptions and poverty rates as well as social expenditure and public organisms during both mentioned periods. We conclude that the genesis of the turn in the Mexican social policy occurred in the 1970s. Although there are differences in orientations, institutions and actions during historical periods, the social policy models have continued to be insufficient in bluntly reducing poverty. According to our analysis this is due to three underlying and unresolved conditions: The disarticulation of social policy with economics; the fragmented and dual structure; and the stratified access of the rightful claimants.

Sin embargo, este artículo plantea la tesis de que tal generalización es viable para indicar una modificación de concepciones, prioridades y líneas de acción, pero es insuficiente para afirmar un cambio profundo en la política social mexicana, pues no identifica las tendencias y particularidades de los últimos treinta años, ni tampoco las contrasta con el modelo previo de política social. Para sustentar el argumento, se exponen los precedentes de la política social en México durante el período 1917-‍1988 y se analizan las perspectivas, normas, instituciones y acciones realizadas durante los últimos cinco períodos presidenciales en el país (1988-‍2018). Por último, se comparan las concepciones y cifras sobre la pobreza, el gasto social y los organismos públicos existentes en ambos períodos. Se concluye que el origen del viraje en la política social mexicana se halla en la década de 1970 y, si bien hay diferencias de orientaciones, instituciones y acciones durante estos períodos históricos, la política social ha sido ineficiente para reducir de manera contundente la pobreza debido a los condicionamientos estructurales, institucionales y operativos provenientes de su etapa de constitución, los cuales no han sido superados. 2020text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7441699(Revista) ISSN 0048-7694Revista de estudios políticos, ISSN 0048-7694, Nº 188, 2020, pags. 159-196spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
