Abstract
ROJAS HERRERA, Juan José. The social solidary economy and the new federal government’s social policy. Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.57, pp.68-87. Epub Mar 03, 2021. ISSN 2395-8669. https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2020.1.4.
Based on the Mexican case, after an evident failure of social policies as effective instruments to fight poverty during neoliberal government terms (1982-2018) and arguing in favor of the convenience of submitting it to a profound reorientation, the present article postulate a thesis where the confluence of interests between the new federal government, that took office on December 1, 2018, and the cooperative and social solidarity economy movement could be produced when social policies abandon their old clientelist, assistance and paternalistic inclinations, in order to assume a citizens’ capabilities and skills development focus. Only under these conditions, organized civil society could take responsibility for the solution of their own problems at a local level, counting with a strong and consistent support from governmental institutions.
