“…The delimitation of social systems presented by Ramos (1981) emphasizes that human beings -as multidimensional beings-need multiple spaces of life in which to perform symbolic interaction, to reach the full potential of their existence (Salm, 2015;Stout and Love, 2015). The "multicentric society" is constituted of a variety of enclaves, which organize themselves in a balanced way (Ramos, 1981).…”

This essay analyzes how political and ideological changes affect public bureaucracy and its relationship with civil society regarding different strategies of openness to participation. We suggest a theoretical-conceptual framework to discuss aspects of the political situation in Latin America. First, we discuss the changes that occurred over time, in the state-civil society relationship, which strengthen the latter and amplify a discourse for more participatory democracy. The focus is the role of the public bureaucracy in mediating the relations among the several actors in society, and we examine the way different political and ideological strands influence how open to participation the bureaucracy is in different periods. The literature review indicates two trends in the state-civil society relationship: technocrat and popular. These reflect the two main ideologies affecting the behavior of public bureaucrats when it comes to participation. We argue that in Latin America, although there is a swing around two different old-fashioned ideologies, both of them reinforce the centrality of the state and its bureaucracy. Therefore, dominant ideologies are not helpful in responding to the need for a deeper state-society re-articulation, which indicates the need and the possibility of building a new ideological approach. Burocracia, sociedad civil e ideología en América LatinaResumen. Analizamos de qué manera los cambios político-ideológicos afectan la burocracia pública en su relación con la sociedad civil en términos de diferentes estrategias de apertura a la participación. Sugerimos una base teórico-conceptual para discutir aspectos de la situación política de América Latina. Primero discutimos los cambios que han acontecido en la relación entre el Estado y la sociedad civil, los cuales llevaron al fortalecimiento de la última y a un discurso de mayor democratización del Estado. Discutimos el papel de la burocracia pública en la mediación de la relación entre los actores y la forma como la influencia de diferentes vertientes político-ideológicas pueden asociarse a períodos de mayor o menor apertura de la burocracia. La literatura indica dos tendencias en la relación entre Estado y sociedad civil que denota las dos principales bases ideológicas que afectan el comportamiento de la burocracia pública en lo que se refiere a la participación. Sin embargo, presenciamos en América Latina la oscilación entre diferentes concepciones ideológicas que refuerzan la centralidad de la burocracia estatal. Las ideologías dominantes ofrecen pocas respuestas a la necesidad de una rearticulación más profunda de las relaciones con la sociedad civil, lo que señala la necesidad y la posibilidad de construir una nueva concepción ideológica.

“…This occurs either in pre-capitalist or capitalist forms of production (Hirschman, 1977). Salm (2015) observes that in societies marked by the market paradigm, people move away from the public sphere, which distances them from this space of political articulation (Arendt, 2013;Stivers, 2010).…”
