Descripción
Algunos científicos sociales consideran que, dadas las nuevas formas de subordinación del capitalismo actual, los ‘nuevos’ movimientos sociales en contraposición con los movimientos obreros del siglo XIX carecen de formas estables y organizadas. Sin embargo, pese a lo anterior,frente a la crisis en la relación entre el Estado y la sociedad civil, es factible que estos nuevos movimientos jueguen un rol político importante dentro de las sociedades, e incluso encuentren elementos de permanencia, sin que esto signifique necesariamente su institucionalización como partidos políticos. Por tanto, los movimientos sociales pueden contribuir de manera importante y significativa en el proceso de transición y profundización de la democracia-representativa a la democracia-participativa; ejemplo de ello son los llamados movimientos de género.
Some social researchers state that: the new ways of subordination of actual capitalism and new social movements, in contrast to working political movements in the XIX century have no ordered and stable composition. According to what has been stated, a viewable relation crisis between the state and society is perceived. Therefore, these new political movements can have a decisi ve politic role in progress, and even they may continue to exist without having to be considered political parties. Thus, it is believed that social movements might contribute significantly into the process of transition and ampler from representative democracy to participative one, and gen der movements are seen as a clear example of this trend.
