Economic crisis and irreducible social rights. Criteria for management policy on cutbacks
Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent decades, globalization has widened the gap between wealth and poverty, a situation that has worsened the plight of the most poverty stricken due to the economic and social crisis which has seriously threatened the social economic model of the market. Given this, it is necessary to recover the concept of the state as a Social State and one of justice, which means establishing some minimum criteria in which the presence of the State should ensure that ideal of justice. Along with this, it is necessary to establish criteria to allow the establishment and management of social priorities in matters pertaining to welfare; to draw the line between what is essential and secondary, indispensable and dispensable in the field of social achievements. After analyzing the historical foundations of the welfare state as a necessary starting point to learn about the framework of social rights at legal and institutional levels, this editorial considers whether the legal recognition and guarantee of social rights can be placed above the whole political and economic climate, since currently it seems that we are witnessing a dismantling of the welfare state as a result of the crisis. The answer to this question leads us to a possible redefinition of the social rights to be protected by the State and to establish what might be the possible keys to setting an “indispensible social minimum”.
