At the global level, societies are subject to a capitalist economic colonization that focuses on competition, acceleration and inequality as coordination dynamics. The convergence and expansion of this process involves the exercise of a series of practices, assemblages and institutions, generating new violence, expulsions and an updating of power relations. From the recognition of this scenario, this article makes a balance of the importance that precariousness and precarization have acquired in contemporary societies, considering a situated perspective in Latin America facing the global course of this process. The article analyzes a series of references and approaches linked to the emergence of precariousness, and proposes the definition of “precarious societies”, which synthesize the convergence of new government regimes, the social class structure, and the previous models of domination.

Palabras clave : Political Theory; Capitalism; Neoliberalism; Precariousness; Social Conflict.
