LUJAN VERON, David. Between autonomy and dependency. Lobby, political patronage and idea of state in the local Chilean contexts. Polis [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.48, pp.133-154. ISSN 0718-6568.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-65682017000300133.

This essay seeks to discuss some contributions of state anthropology to indicate how state support to neighborhood organizations in Chile, outlined around co-responsibility, civil society participation and targeting, generate contradictory and heterogeneous effects at local scale. Based on a qualitative methodology and techniques of in-depth interviews with leaders of neighborhood and political organizations at different levels, plus ethnographic observation of their interactions, a practice will be presented to illustrate the local activity of linkage between competitive projects, ideas about the state and political patronage: lobby. The conclusions invite to consider the state from public policies in Chilean local contexts.

Palabras clave : anthropology of the state; municipalities of Chile; neighborhood meetings; competitive funds..
