El Estado social sin bienestar: Judicialización de los derechos sociales en ausencia de un régimen redistributivo en Colombia

This article examines Colombia’s model of the social rule of law, arguing that in the absence of a strong welfare regime, access to social rights has become fragmented and symbolic through judicialization. Drawing on Esping-Andersen’s models, it shows that Colombia follows a residual logic, with the judiciary acting as a subsidiary provider of the social wage. A new social pact grounded in solidarity, universality, and shared responsibility among State, market, and family is proposed.
