Mapeando los estudios de área sobre América Latina: Características críticas y desafíos
Area studies on Latin America have been criticised for their allegedly descriptive nature, limited theoretical contribution, and lack of methodological rigour. After highlighting the main contributions of area studies, this paper analyses the extent to which these criticisms reflect reality. Based on a review of 801 articles from 10 specialised journals in the region, our work identifies the primary approaches, research topics and most prevalent …
Determinants of Equitable Social Policy in Latin America (1990-2013)
The fact that equitable social policy expanded drastically in Latin America during the left turn and during a time of prosperity does not necessarily mean that the ideological color of governing parties and economic growth are the engines behind changes in social policy, as is usually claimed by part of the literature. Using panel data from Latin American countries for 1990-2013, this paper offers an alternative explanation, derived from previous…

It explicates the Chilean case to understand differences between two specific areas of social policy: pensions and healthcare. Most macroexplanatory factors, which the literature proves are crucial for cross-country analysis, are left constant. Instead, it focuses on accounting for differences in the scope of expansion across sectors. It carries out a hypothes…
Determinants of Policy Change in Latin America: A Comparison of Social Security Reform in Chile and Uruguay (1973–2000)
Throughout the twentieth century, Chile and Uruguay shared remarkable similarities and reached the 1970s as the holders of the most developed and generous social security systems of Latin America. In spite of their similarities, government responses to the so-called social security crisis were divergent, with Chile promoting a radical retrenchment strategy under military rule that was not rolled back after re-democratization, and Uruguay maintain…
Challenges to Political Representation in Contemporary Chile
Democratic representation seems to be increasingly under stress in various established democracies, such as Greece, Spain, and the USA. Chile is also following this trend, but there are a number of particularities that make the Chilean case distinctive. After all, Chile is widely regarded as one of the most consolidated democratic regimes in Latin America and as having solid economic performance. However, citizens have shown decreasing levels of …

Democratic Quality and Human Development in Latin America: 1972–2001
This paper analyzes the connection between democracy and human development. In so doing, it examines two main questions: Are democracies better than non-democracies in achieving human development? Among democracies, is there a direct relationship between the actualization of civil and political rights and human development? In answering these questions, we offer a cross-national study of 18 Latin American countries from 1972 to 2001. We use fixed…

The Politics of Retrenchment: The Quandaries of Social Protection under Military Rule in Chile, 1973-1990
Chile's military government replaced the country's universalistic social policy system with a set of market-oriented social policies. Taking evidence from three areas (pensions, education, and health care), this study seeks to explain why the military advanced a policy of deep retrenchment and why reform of health care was less thorough than it was in pensions and education. The radical transformation of policy relates to the breadth of power con…
