THE DEPENDENT STATE AND SOCIAL POLICIES: A RELATIONSHIP OF CONFLICTS IN THE FACE OF (ULTRA) NEOLIBERALISM

Abstract

The present work discusses the relationship between social policies and the State marked by the (ultra) neoliberal moment of capitalism from the dialectical historical materialist perspective, supported by bibliographic research of the literature in the area, with qualitative analysis. It is concluded that social policies, as an instrument created and maintained under the domination of the Bourgeois State, express a role of conflict by guaranteeing the means for the maintenance of social order while offering conditions for the immediate survival of workers, within the international dynamics of capital. (Ultra) neoliberalism, far from altering the purpose of this relationship, intends to make significant changes in the organization of social policies, especially in the influence of the market and the State on their supply, amplifying the contradiction of this relationship.
