Abstract
MURILLO-AMARIS, Edwin and LOZANO-TORRES, Yamid Gabriel. The 'Window State' and the Subject-State: An Approach from Differentiation and Focalization Variables in Social Policies. Pap.polit. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.2, pp.383-405. ISSN 0122-4409. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.papo20-2.eves.
The Welfare State left welfarism as a characteristic element of community relations in the different contexts in which it was applied. The same crisis reached by this model of state raised the so-called 'Window State' as an exercise of access of various groups to 'demand satisfaction' needs and even to 'negotiate' those aspects of general interest through explicit or implicit situations of high social vulnerability agreements. Such is the case of the processes of the called consulta previa in Colombia, arranged to ensure the protection of ethnic identity and descendant communities. The method reached such a point that communities gather around this instrument of participation for the public sector with the private sector, to achieve the support for large infrastructure projects, focused on private sector business interests but ignoring the social cohesion that these human groups should experience. Recurrence social policies with differential and targeted approach are aspects that could help create greater impact in shaping public for these communities.
