DP: Civil Society and State in development
Latin America is the most unequal region in the planet. States tends to be responsible for solving inequalities. It’s important to ask ourselves if States in Latin America count with the necessary resources to accomplish the commitments they’ve been given. Poverty is multifactorial, and so are solutions. The participations of society becomes a key factor in this sense, synergies come from individual efforts placed together.
When it comes to breaking inequalities in Latin America, it’s necessary to think in mass. So State, normally in charge of all the warranties and all referring to Human Rights (Education, basic services, work, etc) has to suffer a deep transformation where it keeps having this responsibilities, but where it also admits the participation of other sectors like enterprises and Non Governamental Organizations (NGO’s). In this way, enterprises and NGO’s itself would be committed to their own countries (In their communities more likely), defending their own rights and warranties, becoming active in the duties that those warranties actually imply.
The necessary synergy to change inequalities starts by including. Productive factors and initiatives, expressed through projects and organizations need to be taken in account to start adding. The separate papers of both sphere (State on one hand and Civil Society on the other) has to find other links more than taxes. In the Distribution of responsibilities is an answer, in including independent ideas and plans to the agenda we have a way how.
From this point of view, we can see that inequalities not only are solved via State. Governmental institutions were designed to give answers to the social, politic and economic inputs, nonetheless, in Latin America sometimes States can’t reach to all their responsibilities. In the way that society becomes active in this type of dynamics we will have a progressive improvement in the effectiveness of our warranties
