ruled out

Holas,
estoy traduciendo un texto sobre problemática social. El autor dice: "an attention to social rules and non-coercive structures is everything but ruled out". ¿cómo traducir ese "ruled out"?
Muchas gracias por adelantado

to rule out-- to eliminate

Yes, to rule out and to eliminate are similar, and I would not pretend to know the best way to say this is Spanish. But the meaning conveyed by "ruled out" is more like "to make illegal or inappropriate in the current context". Also, in passing I would note that this should read "is all but ruled out". A native English speaker would not use "everything" in this context.

Hmm ... I'm in two minds about this. I agree that "everything but ruled out" is not idiomatic, but I am not sure if the author is trying to say "all but ruled out" (virtually ruled out) or "anything but ruled out" (far from being ruled out, not at all ruled out).

The preceding and following sentences might be useful.
