%0 Journal Article %T La crisis del ciclo neoliberal en los pa¨ªses de la regi¨®n andina %A Eudis F %A Ferm¨ªn T %J Revista de Ciencias Sociales %D 2010 %I Universidad del Zulia %X this article studies the crisis of the neoliberal cycle in countries of the andean region in the context of latin american political changes. it is a documentary-analytical study, based on a bibliographic review and the classification of material for processing the collected data; interpretation of that data is based on the category crisis of the neoliberal cycle. neo-liberalism reduces the functions of the andean states to central areas: education, health and citizen safety; privatizes state businesses and public services, where £¿market reason£¿ takes precedent over the society-state relationship, with nefarious consequences for the population, originating in the time of the democratic rise of anti-neoliberal governments. conclusions are that at the dawn of the twenty-first century, neo-liberalism enters in crisis when the market manifests its incapacity to counteract high poverty indexes and the deterioration of living conditions for the £¿people.£¿ the leftist andean governments introduce changes in the political systems, re-dimensioning the macro-economic adjustment policies and rejecting bilateral and multilateral agreements that promote free markets in the heart of the institutional system of andean integration. %K state %K neo-liberalism %K integration %K people. %U http://www.scielo.org.ve/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1315-95182010000400011&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
