Abstract
En el presente artículo discuto sobre la forma idónea de distribuir recursos económicospara la exigibilidad y efectividad de los derechos sociales, de acuerdoal marco ético, político y económico del Estado de Derecho que se sostenga.Expondré los conceptos y fundamentos más relevantes de las propuestas igualitaristasy prioritaristas, las vinculaciones y tensiones internas y los efectossobre los derechos sociales. Para concluir que, sin negar el carácter universalde los derechos sociales, el máximo disfrute de estos derechos exige un igualitarismoteleológico pluralista-prioritarista, que priorice estrategias de políticaspúblicas para ciertos colectivos más desaventajados, permitiéndoles mayor efectividady pleno disfrute de sus derechos sociales en condiciones de equitativaigualdad de oportunidades.
This article discusses the best way to distribute economic resources in order to guarantee the effectiveness of social rights. The main concepts and foundations of egalitarian and prioritarian theories are explained, as well as their inner tensions and their relations to social rights theories. The main conclusion of this work states that the best theory for an optimal guarantee of social rights requires adopting a teleological and pluralist ‘prioritarianism’ and ‘egalitarianism’, taking into account that this theory does not deny the universality features of social rights. Public policies focused on disadvantaged groups should be adopted in order to effectively protect their social rights in conditions of fair equality of opportunities.
