Pactos sociales y crisis / Social pacts and crisis

Resumen La apertura de mercados, esto es, el avance de integracion de la economia mundial ha empobrecido a las democracias nacionales y a las capacidades de accion de los gobiernos. En particular, la competencia en los mercados internacionales sea en materia de trabajo, impuestos o distribucion de ingresos, ha afectado gravemente los alcances, la vigencia, de muchos pactos ordenadores de la vida social al interior de los paises. De la misma manera, los sistemas politicos aparecen frecuentemente debilitados por cuanto el orden economico internacional carece de normas que transnacionalicen funcionalmente los imperativos de la democracia. En sintesis, se vive una epoca que reclama la reconstruccion de los pactos sociales, la reconfiguracion de normas que enriquezcan modelos socio-politicos vigentes que ya incumplen la promesa de asegurar crecimiento y empleo, asi como abatir la desigualdad entre paises y entre segmentos de las sociedades nacionales. Solo de esa manera reconstructiva, poco a poco resultara viable rejuvenecer los sistemas democraticos y la legitimidad erosionada de muchos gobiernos.
