Spanish term or phrase: clientelismo y asistencialismo
Estoy haciendo una traducción del castellano al inglès de sociologia: El tìtulo del Informe es "la Calidad de vida en Argentina durante la crisis social, económica y política".contexto :

"Hoy se suman a la ausencia del estado con políticas que den respuestas a los problemas sociales , el aumento del desempleo, el resurgimiento del
ASISTENCIALISMO , entre otros. Evidentemente, la situacion descripta no es
alentadora"

"Desde nuestra concepción denominaremos "superfluas" a aquellas actividades
desarrolladas para sostener el juego del poder instituido relacionado con el
FAMILIARISMO y el CLIENTELISMO.

"En el caso de las políticas sociales, el gobierno debe decidir entre las
variables : costos económicos-efectos políticos .
Quedan asi planteadas dos tipos de políticas : las llamadas UNIVERSALISTAS
que llegan a todos los ciudadanos pero son costosas y al reducirse el
abastecimiento se apela a TECNICAS CLIENTELISTAS para el acceso al servicio;
y las llamadas POLITICAS FOCALIZADAS que cubren las necesidades de grupos
pequeños y son percibidas por la población en general como un sistema de
privilegios hacia unos pocos elegidos
