| Summary: | The article presents a comparative analysis between the housing policies developed by two provinces: Mendoza and San Luis. The distribution of the resources from FONAVI that occurred in our country in 1992 put an end to a long period of centralized housing policy in Argentina. The period analyzed includes the decade from 1992 to 2002. At an international level, the process of globalization strengthens, and in the housing field, it meant the predominance of the enabling approach. The chosen cases represent two diametrically different models that reached successful results in the national field. While the first one belongs to the central-sectorialist paradigm, the other one adheres to the enabling approach. The analysis of comparative policies has been contextualized in the political, social, cultural and economic fields which gave frame, sense and viability to both models, which marked both their strengths and their weaknesses and which explain the results obtained. Relationship with university education: the subject "Housing Problematic" belongs to Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales (UNCuyo)" and includes in its syllabus topics referring to the housing policy in Argentina and Mendoza. In that sense, it is estimated that the results obtained from this work are of great interest to students of social work, sociology and political science, because they allow them to make a deep analysis of certain concepts such as centralizationdecentralization, participation, unification of actors, focusing, efficiency and efficacy in the housing policy, etc., and how these are manifested in the actual political practice. |
