Welfare conditionality in OECD countries and in Latin America
Cash benefit programs have increasingly emphasized conditionality in recent decades. Linking benefits to certain behavioral requirements has become a prominent feature of reforms of unemployment benefits (UBs) and related out-of-work benefits in high-income Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, but it has also been a defining feature of conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs in many emerging economies. This is…
Welfare conditionality in Latin America's conditional cash transfers
To what extent have Latin America's Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs adopted different forms of conditionality? What are the main features of this variation, if any? In this article, we show that conditionalities vary across Latin America's CCTs and across time within programs. Drawing on existing conceptualizations of welfare conditionality and a novel, purpose‐built dataset covering 16 countries from 1997 to 2019, we analyze the evoluti…
From Second-Best to First-Best Veto Point
The use of veto points to block policy change has received significant attention in Latin America, but the different institutional venues have not been analyzed in a unified framework. Uruguay is exceptional in that political actors use both referendums and judicial review as effective ways to oppose public policies. While the activation of direct democracy mechanisms in Uruguay has been widely studied, the surge in the use of the judicial venue …
The politics of sanctioning the poor through welfare conditionality
What explains the ‘punitive turn’ toward more stringent conditionalities in welfare policies? Answering this question is crucial in a region such as Latin America, where cash transfers have proven politically consequential for incumbents. Our argument emphasises the role of electoral competition in shaping a government's decision to adopt a more punitive approach to conditionalities. We use process tracing to test our argument in a case involving…
Uruguay 2022
El artículo analiza el tercer año de gestiÃ3n del gobierno de coaliciÃ3n de centro-derecha liderado por el presidente Lacalle Pou en Uruguay. Tras dos años en los que la pandemia y el referéndum contra la Ley de ConsideraciÃ3n Urgente (LUC) dominaron la agenda, este año se produjo una vuelta a la normalidad política. El gobierno buscÃ3 acelerar la adopciÃ3n de reformas estratégicas en educaciÃ3n y seguridad social. La coaliciÃ3n de gobierno se ma…
Direct Democracy in the Hands of the Opposition Under Alternating Ideological Coalitions in Uruguay (1985–2022)
Uruguay stands out as an exceptional case for having a vibrant party system, stable democracy, and frequent use of direct democracy mechanisms (MDDs). Previous research has explained the use of MDDs as a means of opposing centre-right governments, but it has failed to explain the subsequent use of these mechanisms during the period of alternation between the major ideological blocs in government after 2005. We make an empirical contribution by de…

Objetivo/contexto: ¿qué consecuencias tiene el conflicto intrapartidario sobre las reformas redistributivas de Gobiernos de izquierda? El objetivo del artículo es analizar los efectos del conflicto intrapartidario sobre la reforma de las políticas redistributivas, destacando el carácter de las fracciones —su ideología y vinculación con las bases sociales— y su papel en la negociación de las reformas. Metodología: consiste en un estudio de caso, q…
The Political Dynamic of Redistribution in Unequal Democracies
The redistributive reforms carried out by center-left governments in Chile and Uruguay in the 2000s affected the core interests of economic elites. Efforts to increase taxes on high-income sectors and reform the institutions that regulate the capital-labor relationship produced different results in the two countries. While Uruguay adopted significant reforms, reforms in Chile were marginal in 2000-2010 and moderate in 2014-2016. Their different t…
Uruguay 2002
El presente artículo académico intenta estudiar el estallido de la crisis argentina a fines del año pasado, y cómo esta afectó a la economía uruguaya a través de sus secuelas sobre las exportaciones de bienes y servicios y las expectativas de los agentes económicos, pero principalmente de su impacto sobre el sistema bancario
Multi-pillared social insurance systems
This article focuses on an analysis of social insurance models and reforms in Chile, Uruguay and Brazil. Noting that these three countries are following different reform trajectories, the article explores trends in the restructuring of each of these insurance systems across the course of successive reforms. In the systems, different trends are supporting a closer link between contributions and benefits, according growing importance to private ind…
Una nueva síntesis? La agenda social de la izquierda uruguaya a dos años de gobierno
This paper analyzes the main welfare policies developed by the leftist government in Uruguay, in the first two years of its term, trying to identify the areas and sectors that were prioritized, the predominant orientation and the role that the State plays in the provision of the social protection. The preliminary results indicate the configuration of a moderate statism in general regarding public policies and, in particular, in the social field. …
