A two-day conference exploring the interrelations between economic activity and social policy in Latin America
This is the first of two seminars devoted to discuss new approaches in welfare provision with a focus on inequality. Drawing on insights from the ‘Varieties of Capitalism’ and welfare regimes literature in developed countries, we aim to explore the interrelations between economic activity and social policy in Latin America, and to theorise the different systems of social provision that prevail in the region. We will focus on the links between the spheres of production and distribution, taking into consideration the combined effect of economic and social models. Particular consideration will be given to:
- The role of social policy in the organization of production and the determination of distributional outcomes through the primary distribution of income and the process of redistribution;
- The restrictions that the organization of production (e.g. dominance of informal markets in Latin America) can impose in the organization of social policy;
- The existence of different development models that build different links between economic and social policy; while some social corporatist models recognize the complementary role that both play, liberal versions see them in tension and contradiction.
