| description | The socio-sanitary crisis generated by the accelerated proliferation of Covid-19 is producing a recentralization of the state in world society. The same movement is recreating two novel state forms: the protective state and the aggressor state. The expansion of the protective function, in turn, is co-producing a new political legitimacy of exception in record time. The latter tends to alter to some degree the legitimization dynamics of the state orders that have been advancing progressively in the vast majority of western societies since the 1980s. Based on the use of secondary sources, the present work sets out to advance in the sociological analysis of this general process of state transformation and the political legitimacy at the present juncture, both in Latin America and in the world society as a whole. The article is oriented to the identification of the central lines of future progression of the social processes involved. |

The expansion of the protective function, in turn, is co-producing a new political legitimacy of exception in record time.

La crisis socio-sanitaria generada por la proliferación acelerada del Covid-19 está produciendo una recentralización del estado en la sociedad mundial. El mismo movimiento está recreando dos formas estatales novedosas: la del estado protector y la del estado agresor. La expansión de la función protectora, a su vez, está co-produciendo en tiempo récord una nueva legitimidad política de excepción. Esta última tiende a alterar en algún grado las dinámicas de legitimación de los órdenes estatales que venían progresando de modo tendencial en la gran mayoría de las sociedades de occidente desde la década de 1980. A partir del empleo de fuentes secundarias, el presente trabajo se propone avanzar en el análisis sociológico de este proceso general de transformación del estado y de la legitimidad política en la presente coyuntura, tanto en América Latina como en el conjunto de la sociedad mundial. El artículo se orienta a la identificación de las líneas centrales de progresión futura de los procesos sociales involucrados.
