last week published an article in El Mundo former Minister Jordi Sevilla Spain Locked entitled The where had a look at the overall situation of Spain (it seems incredible that this man has been a minister) based on general economic parameters, belonging to the current official discourse of sustainability and innovation, but with few references to the social model argues that "block" .
In 1970 a French sociologist Michel Crozier published an interesting essay entitled blocked society. This author's study some basic aspects of the institutional organization of France under the events of May 1968, the author suggests that a society can only progress if it is capable of creating new styles of action that enable it to actively use the possibilities of technical and economic, says otherwise, will be a "blocked society."
The problem is that in Spain we have failed to confront effectively the major problems and perspective, and somehow, we have blocked. One symptoms of a blocked society is that we got talking incessantly change, but there are as real change indicates Crozier.
blocked societies in the political responsibility of government face the same dilemma: focus on the big issues in a comprehensive way to provide lasting solutions or focus on a few high-impact problems but short-lived election marked by the logic .
According Crozier turn politicians considered more viable, focus on this second option, but efforts have been very encouraging and most fail to deliver results even for the government que los creó.
Los mejores gobiernos, ministros y ejecutivos terminan siendo aquellos que se aferran a propósitos concretos, con resultados rápidos, no muy integrados y que logran producir un impacto (mediático) relativo en su área. El gran problema que tiene esta manera de hacer las cosas es que con el tiempo muchas de estas acciones se comportan como burbujas, es decir, desaparecen o pierden importancia tan pronto el gobierno o el ministro concluye su periodo.
Por ejemplo, con la mejor intención los gobiernos impulsan programas para combatir la pobreza, pero en números absolutos la pobreza ha seguido creciendo sin descanso. Lo mismo ocurre con el paro, or public safety. Each election period started again and much of the effort is transformed into another bubble.
However
citizens have refined the perception of things and there are problems that have surpassed their own society, we live in a highly competitive and unpublished, apparently unpredictable crisis.
M. Crozier defined the French company in 1968 as a "blocked society" by several circles of administrative centralization and stratification, incapable of self-correction. In the case of Spain also aggravated by the fact that the administration and civil society are fully colonized by the political society that exerts a powerful control and domination.
Let's say the unions, heavily subsidized by the government, that have invaded areas that correspond to social initiatives (eg training, mediation in the labor market or at the time the house) are organizations that, despite having a role and functions registered in the 1978 Constitution, have no room to maneuver and are an appendix over the administration. Note if the results of the demonstrations of recent years. Discuss the response of employees and value their own representation in the level many economic sectors.
On the other hand, the swarm of social initiatives added to the official and predominant. These swarms are large sums of public money to develop actions consistent with the policies of the moment. A strong segment para-whose mission is to extend the general discourse and a second level of social control by occupying a space between the visible and organized citizens.
is not difficult to conclude that a centralized and highly stratified, settled the civil society for political power and the appendices of swarms of subsidized organizations outside of government, Spain is blocked and society, with no margin for maneuver, even blocked.
