Current trends, persistent challenges, and emerging opportunities of social policy implementation in Latin America and Southern Europe
Implementation represents the most crucial step in the policy process; it is at this stage where the hardest battles for policy success are fought. Implementation is also the most complex of the policy cycle stages, with the largest amount of resources and highest number of actors involved in it. In the realm of social policy, outputs and outcomes determined during the implementation stage have a direct impact on the welfare of the population. Ho…
Introduction
Research on the implementation of social policy is scant compared to research on other policy stages. Reasons like the lack of the necessary time and resources to conduct implementation research explains such gap. Yet, without research on implementation, it is impossible to reach comprehensive, deep and accurate understandings of the effects of public interventions on the welfare of the population. This article introduces the special issue on the…
Complexities of the charitable and philanthropic landscape within Mexico’s children’s hospitals
In today's Mexico, approximately 50% of children experience multidimensional poverty, with Indigenous children particularly affected; half of them live in extreme poverty and nearly all lack access to social security. The current political landscape threatens to exacerbate these issues. Reductions in public spending and the dismantling of federal child health programmes are likely to further hinder children's development, well-being and health by…
Efectos no intencionados del programa Prospera en el bienestar
El uso del bienestar como indicador para monitorear el estado de las sociedades es cada vez más común a nivel internacional; a pesar de esto, la evaluación de políticas públicas generalmente se enfoca en resultados más inmediatos y materiales. Este artículo, en cambio, utiliza un enfoque multidimensional de bienestar para evaluar los impactos del programa de transferencias monetarias condicionadas (TMC) de México, Prospera. Los hallazgos de este …

The impact of self-reinforcing and self-undermining policy feedback on Mexican social policy
The conditional cash transfer programme (CCT) for poor families was terminated in Mexico in 2019. CCTs seek to fight poverty under a social investment logic by promoting the formation of human capital through the compliance of behavioural conditionalities. The programme – the first of its kind introduced at national level – accomplished several achievements and was maintained and developed by three successive federal administrations. As the backb…
Moving with risk
The paper examines the processes through which people forced from their homes by conflict can become exposed to heightened risk from environmental hazards in the places where they resettle. It reports on research undertaken with internally displaced people who moved to informal settlements in four locations in Colombia. With one of the world’s largest displaced populations and a high annual incidence of hazard events such as landslides and floods…
Relationships in the Implementation of Conditional Cash Transfers
This article explores interactions between the front-line officers and recipients of Oportunidades-Prospera, a conditional cash transfer (CCT) in Mexico. Like other CCTs, Oportunidades-Prospera provided monetary transfers to families with the requirement of following certain conditions, including receiving preventive healthcare and workshops. This produced constant and compulsory physician-recipient interactions. This article examines these throu…
Reflexiones en torno al ''exilio
Durante a ditadura do general Pinochet, no Chile, emergiram três categorias de exílio: o clássico exílio político, uma adaptação oportunista conhecida como "exílio dourado" e um exílio obtido no exterior em virtude da militância dentro e fora do país. O objetivo deste artigo é socializar a trajetória de uma ativista chilena, identificada com a última categoria. A autora divide seu relato entre dois momentos políticos e dois países: 1964-1979 no C…
CCTs through a wellbeing lens
This article explores the social relationships created in the delivery of conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes using a wellbeing lens. Most CCTs influence people's lives in overarching terms, including income, health and education. Their implementation process, however, also places policy participants in new and constant interactions with the front-line officers that implement the programmes. Wellbeing scholarship brings to our attention th…
