Elites ministeriales y seguridad en Argentina. Especialización política y polarización
Este artículo combina la sociología de la acción pública y de las elites políticas y reconstruye los cambios en los perfiles sociales de las elites ministeriales a nivel nacional en Argentina entre 1997 a 2024 para comprender sus orientaciones en políticas de seguridad. Se analiza cómo el desplazamiento desde perfiles burocrático-policiales y militares a políticos generalistas y luego a especialistas en seguridad explica la relativa oscilación y …
Crafting public security
Here I dissect the institutionalisation of ‘citizen security’ as a category and sector of public policy in post-authoritarian Chile. Deploying a Bourdieusian field theory approach and questioning narratives of security policies as responses to criminality or adaptations to democratic values, I argue that the construction of a new security policy sector – with a new consensus (distinct from that of National Security), with reformed police and cour…
The crisis of detention and the politics of denial in Latin America
This article assesses the causes of the crisis of detention in Latin America. It is argued that this crisis, which manifests itself in overpopulation of the region's prison systems, deficient infrastructure, prison informality and violence propelled ultimately by political processes, is mostly related to, on the one hand, disastrous human rights conditions inside Latin American prisons, and on other, the political denial of these conditions. This…
Democratización y campo policial
En este trabajo explico los cambios organizaciones en las policías de Chile en la primera década de democracia. Teniendo en cuenta el sistema de fuerzas policiales y el complejo de agentes que conforman lo que llamo, siguiendo la teoría de campos de Bourdieu, el campo policial, aquí analizo como, en la primer década de democracia se gestó un nuevo consenso sobre las funciones policiales y como se institucionalizó en nuevas doctrinas y modos de de…
(Re)Shaping the Neoliberal Leviathans
Going beyond general depictions of convergence in penal and welfare policies targeted to manage the urban poor and the flexibilized working class in neoliberal regimes of Latin America, I address the political causes behind the distinct penal and welfare policies developed in Argentina, Chile and Peru since their neoliberal turn. To explain the initial differences of penal and welfare regimes among these cases and their evolution, I integrate Har…
Fighting for a Democratic Police
Through a comparative field analysis, I explain why, after being subjected to the same reform projects and rationalities in the democratic period, police bureaucracies changed in Chile but remained unchanged in Argentina. In doing so I advance a field theory account of police bureaucratic change that (a) overcomes the limitations of Late-modern, Post-modern and Governmentality theories of police change, and (b) emphasizes positionality, agency an…
Enchanting bureaucracy
This article dissects the role of culture in securing authority relations within a militarized police apparatus. Adding structure and power to the symbolic interactionist approach to organizational culture and interests and positionality to the structural functionalist perspective on militarized organizations, the author examines how, through the preservation and imposition of a sacralized worldview and morality (symbolic violence), police office…
