“…New kinds of bureaucrats have also gained prominence and power in state agencies, engaging in activism from inside the state. As various scholars have illustrated, politicians across Latin America responded to the demands of newly organized societal interests by creating state programs to benefit them (Niedzwiecki and Anria 2016;Garay 2007Garay , 2016Pribble 2013). At the same time, ideologically committed experts and activists entered the state to build and manage these new programs from the inside (Abers this issue; Chartock 2011, 2013; Falleti 2010; Mayka 2019b; Rich 2019a).…”

A t the start of 2019, the struggle for citizenship across Latin America includes a remarkable tally of fragile victories. Social policies and protections have unexpectedly expanded to benefit more individuals than ever before. Governments have granted official recognition and new citizenship rights to previously neglected ethnoracial, gender, sexuality, and employment-based groups. What explains such inclusionary shifts in public policy, and can these tenuous legal advances translate into durable practice? Contemporary scholarship has sought to understand these changes by focusing on the effects of Latin America's dual transition toward democracy and free market economics in the 1980s and 1990s. Many works have shown how the backlash against neoliberalism led to new class-based and indigenous movements (Arce and

“…As discussed by Leiva (2008), at least partially following the central tenets of neostructuralist theory, left governments eschewed what were deemed to be outdated ideas of class and national development, developing a policy agenda that, while embracing globalization, attempted to combine growth with equity. However, as Leiva underscores, this model remained highly contradictory as it was based on an export drive to be implemented through alliances with transnational capital and the deepening of labour market flexibility (for more optimistic perspectives on the pink tide, see Silva, 2009; García Linera, 2011; Sader 2013; Anria & Niedzwiecki, 2016).…”

“…In this way, “left governments are ideologically committed to improving social inequalities and expanding social citizenship rights” (Cook and Bazler 2013, 4). When left-wing parties were relatively strong, social policy development was possible (Anria and Niedzwiecki 2016; Huber 2011; Huber and Stephens 2012). A related argument is that the economic bonanza generated by the “commodity boom” that took place until the early 2000s provided left-wing governments with the necessary resources to finance social welfare expansion (Hagopian 2016; Levitsky and Roberts 2011; Roberts 2008).…”

This article analyzes the uneven expansion of social policy, using evidence from Chile. It explicates the Chilean case to understand differences between two specific areas of social policy: pensions and healthcare. Most macroexplanatory factors, which the literature proves are crucial for cross-country analysis, are left constant. Instead, it focuses on accounting for differences in the scope of expansion across sectors. It carries out a hypothesis-generating type of case study and relies on inductive process tracing. The goal is to generate hypotheses that may be useful for theory building in the realm of intersectoral dynamics of social policy expansion. The findings suggest that three explanatory factors combine to account for such differences: policymakers’ perceptions of the budgetary constraints and fiscal costs of producing (or failing to produce) a reform; the composition, cohesion, and ideas of technical teams; and the relative power of nongovernmental, prowelfare actors in relation to market stakeholders.
