Social Policy Expansion and Retrenchment in Latin America
The literature on social policy expansion and retrenchment in Latin America is vast, but scholars differ in how they explain outcomes, arriving at different conclusions about the role of democracy, left parties, favorable economic conditions, and social movements. What can welfare state developments since the end of the commodity boom teach us about the theoretical power of these arguments? This paper engages this question, seeking to explain rec…
Social Policy and State Capacity from a Sub-National Perspective
Cross-national research on Latin American social policy has taken state capacity for granted. We argue that this omission has important consequences, especially in decentralized countries where there are large capacity differences across the territory. State capacity matters for the development of the welfare state at every stage of the policymaking process, including program design, implementation, and outcomes. Capable states are able to design…
The Politics of Social Protection During Times of Crisis
In 2020, as Latin American countries shuttered their economies, it became clear that effective lockdowns would require states to provide income support. In a region that has historically struggled to build systems of social protection, the effort to expand benefits was notable. Policies varied in scope and generosity, but in what seemed to signify a new era of state-building, Latin American democracies demonstrated a nearly uniform commitment to …
Territorial Inequality in Health Service Delivery
Access to quality healthcare varies across the national territory inside Latin American countries, with some subnational units enjoying higher-quality care than others. Such territorial inequality is consequential, as residents of particular regions face shorter life spans and an increased risk of preventable disease. This article analyzes trajectories of territorial healthcare inequality across time in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. The data rev…
Rethinking measures of democracy and welfare state universalism
Democracy and the welfare state are two of the most extensively studied concepts and themes in the field of comparative politics. Debate about how to best measure the two concepts has failed to contemplate the extent to which political and social rights are uniformly present across distinct regions of the national territory, despite the presence of substantial subnational research that underscores wide variation inside countries. We argue that th…
Social Policies and Center-Right Governments in Argentina and Chile-Erratum
Chile's Elites Face Demands for Reform
The challenge for Chile is to ensure that policy making and governance are democratized further
Social Policies and Center-Right Governments in Argentina and Chile
Latin America's "left turn" expanded cash transfers and public services, contributing to lower poverty and inequality. Recently, right-leaning candidates and parties have begun to win back seats in the legislature, and in some cases have captured the executive branch. This shift has sparked debate about the future of Latin America's welfare states. This article analyzes social policy reforms enacted by two recent right-leaning governments: that o…
The Politics of Building Municipal Institutional Effectiveness in Chile
Institutional effectiveness varies widely across Chile's 346 municipalities. Whereas some local governments seem to work with impeccable precision, others struggle to deliver basic services and welfare benefits to the population. This article seeks to explain why such variation exists; it combines quantitative and qualitative evidence to show how mayors can play a crucial role in building institutional effectiveness. The study focuses on the admi…
Welfare and Party Politics in Latin America
Systems of social protection can provide crucial assistance to the poorest and most vulnerable groups in society, but not all systems are created equally. In Latin America, social policies have historically exhibited large gaps in coverage and high levels of inequality in benefit size. Since the late 1990s, countries in this region have begun to grapple with these challenges, enacting a series of reforms to healthcare, social assistance and educa…

Politics, Policies, and Poverty in Latin America
Poverty has long been recognized as one of the most serious and lasting problems facing Latin America. Recent data from the United Nations' Economic Commission on Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) show that 41 .7 percent of Latin Americans lived in poverty in 2004, while 17.4 percent lived in extreme poverty.1 Despite this generally high level of poverty, there is significant variation among Latin American states. Indeed, in 2002 the share …
Women and Welfare
Women make up a disproportionate share of the world's poor, and Latin America is no exception to this trend. Nevertheless, very few studies of social policy in the region have investigated why the gendered character of welfare provision varies across countries. This article addresses that question through a comparative historical analysis of Chile and Uruguay and concludes that variation in the gendered nature of each state's social policy regime…
