2022: The political economy of segmented expansion: Latin American social policy in the 2000s

New programs were created in healthcare, pensions, and social assistance, and previously excluded groups were incorporated into existing policies. What was the character of this social policy expansion? Why did the region experience this transformation? Drawing on a large body of research, this Element shows that the social policy gains in the early 2000s remained segmented, exhibiting differences in access and benefit levels, gaps in service quality, and unevenness across policy sectors. It argues that this segmented expansion resulted from a combination of short and long-term characteristics of democracy, favorable economic conditions, and policy legacies. The analysis reveals that scholars of Latin American social policy have generated important new concepts and theories that advance our understanding of perennial questions of welfare state development and change.

Is this assumption correct, particularly in the global South? Do countries that do well in a given policy sector do also well in others? This article examines the matter by contrasting pensions with health care in Latin America, clustering countries based on their degree of segmentation in policy outputs. As a region, Latin America is an interesting case to study because of its comparatively high levels of social spending, long history of welfare systems, significant policy transformation in the first decade of the twenty-first century and extensive body of research. Findings show that while some countries do consistently well or poorly across sectors, others report an uneven performance. Questioning overarching generalizations based on the notion of the regime, the paper calls for further comparative analysis on the political economy behind the sectoral change.

Para ello, examina las principales respuestas de corto plazo desplegadas en 2020 y 2021 —transferencias mo-netarias y vacunación, sus actores y justificacio-nes— y determina si crearon legados expansivos pasada la pandemia. Los hallazgos muestran que las acciones fueron sin duda valiosas, masivas y rápidas, pero también que los instrumentos, actores y narrativas que encuadraron estas ac-ciones no fueron conducentes a instalar legados expansivos posteriores

Este artículo aborda esta pregunta a través de un análisis del programa de transferencias monetarias de emergencia implementado durante 2020 en Costa Rica. A partir de debates legislativos y entrevistas a jerarcas y analistas, mostramos la presencia, muy acotada en el tiempo, de ideas favorables a extender la protección social no contributiva. El nuevo programa se vio rápidamente limitado por un discurso que asimilaba la responsabilidad fiscal a la reducción del gasto social, antes que a la ampliación de los ingresos. Evitando generalizaciones simplistas, los hallazgos invitan al análisis contextualizado del impacto de la pandemia en procesos específicos de formación de política y a considerar el papel de las ideas en los debates sobre la política social. Si existe un riesgo para la política social inclusiva, este es el discurso dominante de austeridad.

It is exposing fallacies and falsehoods everywhere: the lie that free markets can deliver healthcare for all; the fiction that unpaid care work is not work; the delusion that we live in a post-racist world; the myth that we are all in the same boat. Because while we are all floating on the same sea, it’s clear that some are in superyachts while others are clinging to drifting debris.
