Abstract

In this article we performed a social-historical review of the Argentinian State Assistance on a National level, by targeting the management challenges that this state area faced, the disputes about installing a socio-assistance approach carried out by different sectors and the legitimacy types that were built by the ‘elites’ that leaded the portfolio. The Analysis allowed us to understand that, facing different circumstances, between the idea of a state proximity approach and the ‘expert’ legitimation, different government actors built the assistance as a specific state domain action. Based on the bibliographic review on the subject and an own thesis on the profiles and trajectories of Cambiemos officials at the national level, we study what happened along different historical moments by searching for traces and management styles that were the key for a fully understanding of the tension that faces the Argentinian government in this specific state area.
