Synopsis "Teoria Politica en el Estado de Bienestar (in Spanish)"

La política tropieza actualmente con los límites de sus posibilidades. Rotas las ilusiones del Estado de Bienestar, sus consecuencias no deseadas neutralizan cada vez más sus buenas intenciones. Correcciones superficiales, llamamientos morales y acusaciones de culpabilidad se convierten en estrategias sustantivas al faltar la teoría y los conceptos que ayuden a plantear las preguntas adecuadas y presentar alternativas.

Niklas Luhmann (1927-1998), studied law at the University of Freiburg and earned a doctoral degree. He is considered one of the most prominent pioneers of Sociological Systems Theory, whose innovative approach contrasted with that of Talcott Parsons, the most renowned theorist in the field during the 1960s, under whom he studied at Harvard University. He held various positions at the Universities of Münster, Frankfurt, and finally at the University of Bielefeld, where he remained until his retirement in 1993. His prolific work as a writer on diverse topics such as law, economics, politics, art, ecology, or mass media continued even after this date, culminating with his most important work: The Society of Society, published in 1997.
