Recent challenges and opportunities in Latin American welfare regimes
Liberalism in Two Worlds
During the nineteenth century, liberalism played a fundamental role in the newly formed Latin American nation-states. Yet little attention has been paid to how liberal thinkers on the periphery reacted against liberal theories suffused with pro-colonial rhetoric and Eurocentric bias. This study examines the underexplored reaction of José Victorino Lastarria to John Stuart Mill’s liberal project. Lastarria, one of the most influential nineteenth-c…
Local Government, Social Media and Management of Covid-19
Most research on governments' use of social media focuses on the national or federal level. We therefore know little about the way local authorities harness social media platforms to communicate with their constituencies. This paper studies the role structural and political variables played in Chilean mayors' political communication strategies during 2020–2021, a period of municipal elections marked by lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We e…
Essential services, public education workers, and the right to strike
Essential services are commonly defined as those services whose interruption might inflict substantial harm on the population at large. Police, firefighters, and emergency medical professionals are paradigmatic examples of essential service providers. In recent years, some governments have resolved that formal primary education should be added to this list of essential services. The immediate practical implication of designating education as an e…
The Strange Silence of Latin American Political Theory
Political theorists affiliated with Latin American and Caribbean academic institutions rarely publish in flagship journals or other important outlets of the discipline. Similarly, they are not members of the editorial boards of high-ranking, generalist or subfield journals, and their research is not included in the political theory canon of what students from other regions study. The aim of this article is not to explain the origins of this silen…
Much Ado About Facebook? Evidence from 80 Congressional Campaigns in Chile
How do political candidates combine social media campaign tools with on-the-ground political campaigns to pursue segmented electoral strategies? We argue that online campaigns can reproduce and reinforce segmented electoral appeals. Furthermore, our study suggests that electoral segmentation remains a broader phenomenon that includes social media as but one of many instruments by which to appeal to voters. To test our argument, we analyze the cas…
Participation Income and the Provision of Socially Valuable Activities
In this article, I argue that a participatory income ( PI )—the proposal originally presented by Anthony Atkinson in 1996—can potentially perform better than an unconditional basic income ( UBI ) in terms of addressing unmet social needs. I explain why we should expect that unmet social needs can be better alleviated by the recipients of a PI rather than by the voluntary actions of UBI recipients. In particular, the argument presented here seeks …
Beneficence, Street Begging, and Diverted Giving Schemes
In recent years, some cities and localities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere have adopted or intend to adopt one potential solution to the difficulties inherent in addressing the needs of street beggars: diverted giving schemes (DGSs). A DGS is an institutional response designed to motivate people to donate money in charity boxes or donation meters rather than directly to street beggars. Their advocates believe that…
Introducción al Anuario Político de América Latina 2016
En este numero de Revista de Ciencia Politica (RCP) se publica la novena edicion del Anuario Politico de America Latina. El Anuario nacio en 2007 con el objetivo de convertirse en “testigo y documento de los hechos politicos que pautan cada ano el acontecer regional, recuperando, ademas, las principales reflexiones teoricas que dichos hechos inspiran” (Altman y Luna 2007: 4). Inicialmente inspirado en el Political Data Yearbook publicado por el E…
What is Wrong with Testing Welfare Recipients for Drug Use
Is mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients morally justifiable? This article argues that none of the three justifications typically offered in support of drug testing—that is, paternalist, contractualist, and harm-based justifications—are normatively persuasive. On the one hand, I claim that these normative justifications do not warrant the violation of welfare recipients’ privacy. That is, I argue that they fail to make the case that the b…
A defence of participation income
This article offers a novel defence of participation income (PI). It claims that there are pragmatic and normative reasons to prefer PI over alternative redistributive policies, such as an unconditional basic income and workfare programmes. In particular, it argues that PI should be conceived as a particular type of civic service programme designed to address a large number of unmet social needs that are not met by entrepreneurs in the marketplac…
Essential Services, Workers’ Freedom, and Distributive Justice
This paper examines the normative implications of the essential service argument commonly used to justify restrictions on workers’ freedom to withhold their labor. The essential service argument says that essential services workers should not be allowed to strike since that form of collective bargaining can likely inflict imminent and substantial harm on the society. Both detractors and advocates of the freedom to strike have widely debated the e…
The problem of stability and the ethos-based solution
Can unconditional basic income policies be designed to generate the motivational conditions that make possible their own support? Unconditional redistributive schemes do not take formal precautions to deal with potential motivational problems that may affect their stability. For example, they are designed to give people the freedom to decide whether or not to participate in the job market. However, scholars like Philippe Van Parijs and Simon Birn…
Street-level charity
Begging is a phenomenon that has largely been ignored by scholars of the welfare state. This is surprising because the presence of beggars in a society tends to be interpreted as the welfare state's failure to adequately provide for its citizens. This paper examines the conditions under which we expect donors to actually give money to beggars at the street level. In particular, it offers a systematic theoretical framework for analyzing interactio…
Impuestos negativos a la renta en Uruguay
In this research we evaluate an alternative redistributive scheme for Uruguay. Specifically, we analyze the impacts on equity and efficiency of substituting the new conditional cash transfer program (Asignaciones Familiares AFAM) and direct taxes (personal income tax IRFP) by a negative income tax (INR), holding fiscal budget constant. Using microsimulations that incorporate behavioral changes, we analyze the effects of this policy change on labo…
