Productive resistance in the frontline implementation of social programs: The Chilean case
As widely identified in international research, frontline professionals, those who represent the state in face-to-face encounters with citizens, play a significant role in the manner in which public policies are implemented and experienced by citizens. While much has been studied on the different coping mechanisms frontline professionals employ, or their tendency towards state-centered or client-centered practice, one concept that has received li…
Territorial Stigmatization and Demands for Redistribution and Recognition: Exploring Spatial Injustice, Poverty, and Neoliberalism in Chile
This article argues that integrating the study of territorial stigmatization with debates on spatial injustice, redistribution, and recognition offers valuable insights into how people experience material precariousness and urban identity in disadvantaged contexts. Bridging these perspectives enhances theoretical understanding and supports locally grounded initiatives for redistribution and recognition. Based on a case study of a stigmatized, low…
Profiles of professional resistance in street-level bureaucracy programs. A quantitative-multidimensional typology
Through a representative survey of front-line professionals from three social programs in Chile ( N = 1,694)—a country marker by the implementation neoliberal policies—we use latent class analysis (LCA) to build typologies of front-line professionals, according to the resistance actions that develop in their professional intervention practices. In this way, we explore the prevalence of each typology and the relationship between these typologies a…
Implementing Proximate Welfare Programs in Weak Institutional Contexts: Lessons From the Global South
This article examines the implementation of proximity programmes in the Global South, particularly through Chile's Familias programme, to investigate the challenges faced by frontline professionals in weak institutional contexts. Drawing on interviews with Integral Family Supports implementing the programme, the study reveals that relational and spatial proximity are used to mitigate institutional weaknesses, compensating for the lack of availabl…
Trabajo no reconocido, trabajo "sucio", trabajo precario: Condiciones de implementación de programas sociales en la coyuntura del cambio constitucional en Chile
En este artículo analizamos la manera en que los programas sociales del Estado –componentes centrales para la realización de los derechos fundamentales– se han venido implementando bajo el esquema de terciarización posibilitado por la Constitución de 1980, lo que se ha traducido en una precarización de las condiciones de trabajo de quienes los implementan en primera línea. A partir de los resultados de un estudio mixto secuencial exploratorio, so…
Oponerse sin perder el puesto’: Tensiones y resistencias profesionales en la implementación de programas sociales en Chile
En este artículo se analizan las tensiones que enfrentan y las resistencias que ejercen las/os profesionales de primera línea en la implementación de programas sociales en Chile. Se discute conceptualmente la noción de resistencia profesional propuesta en la literatura, y a partir de los hallazgos de la primera fase de un estudio mixto secuencial –informado por 69 entrevistas cualitativas-, se identifican las principales prácticas de resistencia …
Pandemic and Social Work in Chile: Precarity, Precariousness and the Quest for Resistance in an Uncertain World
In Chile, the Covid-19 pandemic overlapped with a socio-political crisis that arose in response to the neoliberal model imposed during Pinochet’s dictatorship. Social workers have been key to addressing the multiple vulnerabilities the population has faced during the political uprising and pandemic. From a critical perspective that analyses precarity, precariousness and resistance as a continuum, this article examines SWs’ employment and interven…

Possibilities for new social work professional resistance in Chile: Times of social change
In the current unscrupulous neoliberal climate, social workers are increasingly confronted with ethical and political tensions that clash with the profession’s commitments to human rights and social justice. However, despite neoliberalism’s global reach, the scholarship on social work professional resistance has been largely limited to the Global North. Taking into consideration this absence in the literature, this article seeks to explore the po…
Poverty and human capital in Chile: The processes of subjectivation in conditional cash transfer programs
Utilizing Foucault’s insights on neoliberalism, his notion of governmentality in relation to the State, and his insights on the processes of subjectivity (2007; 2006) the following article seeks to critically examine Chile’s Ethical Family Income (IEF), a conditional cash transfer program that was implemented in the country from 2011 to 2016. Utilizing interview excerpts with women who participated in the program, the article analyzes the manner …

Usando un cuestionario de involucramiento familiar y a través de entrevistas individuales y grupales, se identifican las nociones de colaboración familia-escuela, lo…
CCTs and conditionalities: An exploratory analysis of not meeting conditional cash transfer conditionalities in Chile's Families Programme
Since the mid-1990s, conditional cash transfer programmes have rapidly proliferated in Latin America, although little research has examined the characteristics of families who do not meet programme conditionalities. In order to contribute to this gap in knowledge, this study sought to identify the individual, family and programme variables associated with not meeting conditionalities of Chile's CCT. The study found that certain variables related …
Family Trajectories and Terminations in Conditional Cash Transfer Programs: The Case of Chile's Ethical Family Wage Program
On an international scale, conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs have rapidly expanded. Since their boom in the 1990s newer modalities have emerged, incorporating some innovative components. The following study sought to examine one particular CCT program heralded as innovative due to its psychosocial and socio employment accompaniment components: Chile's Ethical Family Wage program. Utilizing administrative data from the Ministry of Social De…
