- Análisis sociopolítico de la gestión pública en el marco de la reforma del Estado y de la interculturalidad Rolando Castillo Quintana Administración y Contabilidad Guatemala State Reform Social Analysis Public Management Political Analysis This essay seeks to firmly emphasize, within the framework of the reform and modernization of the State, the conviction that interculturality is the method and objective towards a plural State. This debate is focused in two options: on the one hand, the reform of a homogenous State that does not contemplate the diversity of the nation, which is centered in the individual rights; and on the other hand, the building towards a plural State based on a citizenship whose basic characteristics are diversity and the necessary space to exercise both individual and collective rights. The notion of ethnic reorganization gives us a useful conceptual framework for the activism of the indigenous population, since it refers to forms of reorganization in various dimensions - sociopolitical, economical and cultural, which explains the persistence as the transformation of ethnicity. If we accept the existence of the deep diversity in our society and cultural pluralism as the basis of equality and the respect of our differences, interculturality has a lot to do in our society as a method and as an objective. Interculturality becomes itself as a goal and method for the construction of democracy in diverse societies. It is understood as a pluralistic exposition on human relations that must have between actors which are culturally differentiated in the context of a democratic and participative State, and of the multicultural, multilingual and multiethnic nation. Au contraire, racism operates like a generating and reproductive mechanism of inequalities and economic, social and political exclusions that favors a determined group. The more dysfunctional a society is and the differences in inequalities are greater in the social and cultural aspects, the probabilities of reaching towards racism as a mechanism of justification of the domination of a group over another one is greater. In the same frame, whichever greater is the presence of conflict and violence prevails in a society and whichever weaker is the capacity of the State to serve as a mediator between the citizens interests, greater are the probabilities to conduct racist attitudes. For the transition of a homogenous State to a plural one, it becomes imperative to disassemble racism and discrimination, thus acceding to at least two fundamental phenomena which allow, not only to consolidate democracy, but to be able to face the existent inequality and the poverty of the population: 1. The increase of intercultural practices that develops association and confidence as much as institutional and personal will allow to increase and to fortify the social capital of the country, having consequences in the increase in the level of wealth generation and international competitiveness. It is also an active, positive and beneficial insertion in the globalization process. 2. The positive and productive relationship of diversity will impulse the wealth and development centered in the people.
