Neocorporatist Arrangements in the Habitational Policy. An Analysis of the Macroprojects of National Social Interest in Colombia

Abstract

The contemporary state has several facets. The neo-corporatism is a modern form of representation of interests that, in the case of housing policy in Colombia, took shape in an arrangement to produce buildable land with housing projects for poor households that faced the impasse of local autonomy in territorial planning. The way in which this problem was solved is analyzed with the use of an ad hoc periodization that shows that the neo-corporatist arrangement of the macroprojects corresponding to the government Social Interest plan was produced to face the recessionary crisis in the construction sector that took place in the 2008 conjuncture.
