Abstract
El artículo, a partir del examen de las principales contribuciones que han caracterizado
el debate recientemente, propone algunos apuntes para situar la cuestión
de los derechos sociales en una dinámica de promoción de la democracia
“desde abajo”, en el interior de los Estados nacionales, pero también aumentando
la perspectiva a una óptica planetaria. El sentido argumentativo, y la
intencionalidad que lo alimenta, es el de una “democratización” de la democracia
misma como alternativa a los procesos de “de-democratización”, dirigidos
por la “promoción ilimitada del individualismo” y por la “privatización de las
funciones y de los servicios públicos”.
Los derechos sociales, plenamente “derechos fundamentales” y “derechos humanos”,
son concebidos como “indivisibles”, “interdependientes”, “interconectados”,
respecto al resto de derechos fundamentales (tal y como se establece en la
Declaración de Viena de 1993); para garantizarlos, es necesario que estén radicados
“conceptualmente” dentro de un espacio social e institucional que hoy sólo
puede ser “multinivel” pero que, al mismo tiempo, no puede prescindir del poder
regulador y práctico de los Estados y de las instituciones territoriales, justo a las
reivindicaciones que se movilizan y llevan a cabo en estos espacios.
Starting from an analysis of the most influential literature, this essay focuses on the issue of social rights as set forth in a discourse aimed at “reviving democracy from below”, using both the national state and the global perspectives. The arguments aim at justifying the “democratization” of democracy itself, as an alternative to the processes of “de-democratization”, caused by the “unlimited promotion of individualism” and by the “privatization of functions and of public services”. Social rights, justly considered as “fundamental rights” and as “human rights”, are conceived as “indivisible”, “interdependent“ and “interconnected” to other fundamental rights (as set forth by the Vienna Declaration of 1993). In order to be guaranteed, they must be “contextually rooted” in a social and institutional space which today cannot be but “multilevel”. At the same time, they cannot be independent from the regulatory and the executive powers of the states and of the other territorial institutions nor from the claims issued in those spaces.
