The situation, in political terms, according to the Dictionary of the Royal English Language, is: combination of factors and circumstances which, for the decision of an issue is presented in a nation .
American Institute For Policy Studies , the situation can be defined as the form of manifestation of the struggle of different actors, groups, in a specific society at a given time . Taking account these two definitions of situation, we can say that it comes at a time and space determined. True, there are always situations. Talk about a company or country without joints is certainly wrong.
It should be noted the fact that joints are not only nationally but also within political, cultural or whatever their field of action, also within the institutions. Even regional areas within a country (province, district or districts, in the case of Panama) have their joints.
Each of these spaces, have their own structures, their problems and above all their contradictions . These elements are what determine the joints that are taking place. That is why the living situation the United States, Colombia and Panama at a specific time are not equal, nor are equal to the internal situations that may be in Chiriqui or Darien, although it is noted that may have some similarities, on mainly because they are within a country.
Neither are the problems that may arise at a time when the Ministry of Economy and Finance or the University of Panama. A simple explanation for this phenomenon is that countries, regions or institutions have to economic, political and cultural backgrounds, in other words, their structures, internal and external contradictions are different and can not expect situations that are occurring in the time in these spaces are identical.
Of course, one can speak of the situation within a cluster can be determined in other situations is that companies are not isolated from each other, though sometimes want to look like. As examples, unemployment in Colombia has made many of the / the citizens Colombians come to Panama to seek a better future after the Ministry Economics and Finance ordered a national tax consulting, it was a decision that would increase the property tax (ITBMS) and so on.
We see that within the joint interests of various actors are, whether they are citizens of Colombia and the Minister of Economy and Finance. But you have some power over these joints, as it is said, joints are giving change in the correlation of forces of social actors, the closest example temporally speaking, could be the people's struggle against the law Ngäbe 8 .
After this fight this original group, rather than undermine combat per se fought for respect. After all the insults that have or might have told the Ngabo, both authorities and people who do not understand or respect the world view that these people see things, managed to repeal the law and to do what should be done for a long time: Discuss.
As we said, speaking of a society without joints is wrong, but many times these situations go unnoticed by the ordinary citizen because the contradictions that exist in time and space as it is made invisible.
However, this government is doing the business cycle in visible every conflict situation, encouraging the class struggle at every turn, using his power to try to change the balance of power in their favor, without betting a lot for the democratic dialogue. The infamous quote "not going to co-rule" is one of the most visible signs. In every political move, Martinelli and his horde want to win the 101% and not just to manage public affairs properly.
Since the government came to power change of situation we have been in situation, a kind of declaration of war between social classes with trims, even fascist. ----
