Responsabilidad social clientelar: hacia la reconfiguración de un nuevo paradigma dominante en política

Abstract

Through a reflexive and documentary methodology, the article examines the connection between clientelism and social responsibility. Understanding social responsibility as a collaborative effort to promote happiness by members of the economic, political and cultural apparatus. Furthermore, it explores the service and mastery paradigm of bureaucratic theory, which, at least in theory, increases organizational efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness. It is concluded that clientelism in administration seeks a bureaucracy delineated in power and service, where the logic and point of view of the client rules. Those who have the ability to judge and discriminate between what is true and what is not, can critically assess these issues. Reason, which is innate in human beings, creates a variety of articulated ideologies. These ideas are supported by Weber’s bureaucratic theory and Descartes’ method discourse approaches, according to which the client’s search for truth is governed by two essential perspectives: collaboration with the human sciences and service for life.
