The Erosion of the Portuguese Minimum Income Protection Scheme
While minimum income protection (MIP) is central on a European level, as demonstrated by the European Pillar of Social Rights, national policies display huge variations, reflecting different domestic guidelines and political and socio‐economic dynamics. The literature has shown that the adequacy of MIPs and their role in social protection systems varies significantly, not only between countries but also over time. However, as most studies adopt l…

Time and Policy Diffusion
Time has recently gained prominence as a critical factor in policy diffusion studies at the international level and in studies examining federal systems. Nevertheless, empirical research investigating the role of time in subnational policy diffusion processes remains scarce. This paper seeks to contribute to this debate by understanding how time interacts with other variables, such as agency, relations, ideas, and federal dynamics in the diffusio…
Social security systems faced with multiple challenges
Social security systems face old and new challenges, which are often entangled. Swift reforms are therefore required, to strengthen systems and ensure their fairness and ability to respond to multiple eventualities. Taking a broad institutional and multidisciplinary perspective, this article discusses the Portuguese social security system, in the context of the pandemic and inflation crises which hit the country while it was still recovering from…
Examining the Reform of Sao Paulo's Transportation Policy
In recent decades, states have gone to great lengths to modernize and improve the efficiency and quality of government action. Yet, these endeavors are often only partially implemented and can be challenging, particularly at the local level. This article examines the magnitude and effects of the recent administrative reform of a subnational agency, the Transportation Department of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Drawing on the analysis of documen…
Income Protection for Vulnerable Groups During the Pandemic in Brazil and Chile
How can we understand the variation in countries' responses to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the context of income protection policies for vulnerable families? This article provides a comparative presentation and discussion of the measures put in place in Brazil and Chile in 2020. We argue that the similarities and differences in the strategies adopted are largely due to the trajectories both in the area of social policy, which constrain the de…
Mudanças e continuidades entre o Chile Solidario e o Ingreso Ético Familiar
Este artigo apresenta e discute os programas de transferência monetária condicionada implementadas no Chile, o Chile Solidario (2002-2013) e o Ingreso Ético Familiar (2013-presente), procurando identificar continuidades e diferenças entre as duas iniciativas. Tendo por base a literatura sobre mudanças em políticas públicas e, em particular, a tipologia proposta por Howlett e Cashore (2009), que distinguem entre fins e meios, faz-se uma comparação…
Social Protection and Cash Transfers in Mozambique
This article examines the rise of cash transfer programs and their embrace, since the 1990s, as a central element in global public policy on economic and social development and poverty reduction. Focusing on the example of Mozambique, an early adopter of such programs, it analyses the relationship between international organizations, development aid agencies, national government and local agents in the field, in the design and delivery of social …

Transferência Monetária No Brasil E No Chile
Este artigo discute a adoção na esfera nacional de políticas disseminadas globalmente. O artigo demonstra a vantagem de se recorrer aos conceitos de comunidade epistêmica e de instrument constituency para examinar não só a disseminação de políticas públicas, mas também analisar a inserção de problemas na agenda política nacional, a discussão de soluções possíveis e a formulação de políticas públicas. Tomamos como caso empírico as políticas de tra…

International development cooperation as one of the triggers for the process of public policy transfer
On the one hand, transfer is a process by which governments intentionally use ideas about how policies in other countries work to design or redesign their own public policies (Dussauge, 2012). On the other hand, cooperation is a process that recognizes the existence of an interdependence between states and the international arena. This article aims to discuss and clarify the relation between international cooperation and policy transfer. Drawing …
