This paper discusses the likely impact on job incentives of the introduction of a Citizens’ Basic Income. We try to explore whether this proposal would fail because it would cause a massive retreat from the labour market or, on the contrary, this is not a plausible scenario and therefore the proposal is feasible and sustainable in this respect. To this aim, we use formal game theoretical models, since they have several advantages compared with simple intuitive mental speculation. The paper concludes that, as Basic Income supporters argue, the proposal is feasible and sustainable in the most empirically plausible scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from considering that social policies constitute a central link between the systemic order and the world of life of the populations, the aim of this paper is to explore the emotions of women mothers who have Conditional Cash Transfers of Income in Argentina linked to the social care and the conditionalities that they entail. This will be carried out based on a qualitative strategy, based on in-depth interviews. It is concluded that the social policies under study consolidate emotions linked to self-denial, postponement, the obligation in relation to the care tasks that they suppose and demand. This series of practices, emotions and feelings of the populations receiving the social policies worked, allow us to notice the connections between waiting, postponement and moral obligation in relation to social care.

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the contingencies and difficulties on the fieldwork and the decisions that influence knowledge construction. From a review of the research: "Food Policies in Argentina from 1983 to 2001" and the implementation of in-depth interview to technicians and professionals who have managed and implemented food policies, this article goes through different fieldwork stages. One of the main obstacles of working on public policies is the limited and incomplete official information, which reconstruction remains a key element in the decisions of the research process. The recordkeeping procedures and the analysis clarified the overview as the research process advanced. Among the main results, it was detected that the interviewees opinions about social policies depend on their closeness to the ongoing governmental management, the different environments (workplace, public space, private house), and the historical period addressed in the conversation. The main role of the researcher in the interview was to listen to both, the speech and the deployment of practices of the interviewees. The interview context turned into an important aspect to understand the complexity of social relations disputing power and resources in the public management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the implementation of the Argentina Trabaja social program in a municipality of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with the aim of showing that the intentions of the program to promote social and labor relations in the social economy were affected, in this municipality, by the characteristics of the political networks by which it was implemented. From this case, we argue on the one hand that political networks allow and accelerate the functioning of the State, since through them national social programs reach their recipients, but on the other hand, they limit the programmatic objectives. The work was done through a qualitative methodology that combined participant observation and in-depth interviews with municipal officials and recipients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper examines the policies carried out by Minister of Social Welfare, Francisco Manrique throughout the de facto presidencies of Generals Roberto Levingston (1970-1971) and Alejandro Lanusse (1971-1973). I argue that the social policies and strategies implemented by Manrique aimed at building the consensus needed in view of the government's forthcoming political openness, and at the same time were leaded by his veiled intention of launching his presidential candidacy for the elections that would take place in 1973.

In this paper I will discuss —from an approach that recovers the sociology of the body and emotions— the first actions in the field of social policy in Argentina in the early nineteenth century, conducted by the Charitable Society of the Capital. From a qualitative analysis of secondary data, I will discuss the impact that government intervention possesses in terms of certain assumptions related to how the beneficiaries of social policies should behave. It is concluded that governmental interventions together with the regime of capitalist accumulation presuppose a set of emotions and sensitivities related to living in an abject deprivation condition.

The target of this work is surveying the making of a social policy agenda at municipality level. The case taken here is the inclusion of a municipal plan for the strengthening of social problems in a municipality of the province of Buenos Aires. The case offers us the opportunity for investigating on two central problems referred to the agenda of government: the first one, on the conditions under which changes are established in the local agenda by relation to the previous ones. The second question linked to the first one, recounts to the way in which the municipal agents identify social problems and propose strategies of intervention on the same ones. One of the conclusions more importantly of this paper is that the definition of public problems from a local perspective presents a dynamics in which the agents who intervene in the field of the policy and administration in the municipal level raise topics and problems that can be approached across limits and financings that come from the national and / or provincial areas of management.

This paper attempts to examine the raising of a network of institutions, comedores escolares [welfare kitchens] in the National Territory of la Pampa during the 1930's, whose action was based upon the protection and defense of the most vulnerable infants. The analysis of this process shows the leading role of different state agents, the relationships that took place among different jurisdictions such as national, provincial and communal ones, as well as the role of community in the concrete implementation of public policies.

The aim of this paper is to analyze two senarios of integrated economic and social policies, designed in Venezuela during Hugo Chavez Frias's first presidential period (2000-2006). It begins with a series of theoretical considerations as to the prospectic method and the scenario technique employed in the design of such studies, and then describes, defines and analyzes the variables of the study using content analysis of official governmental documents. Finally the scenarios are constructed with the help of XIMPACT computer software, applying a set of matrix techniques which feed the program. The analysis of two selected scenarios projects the results of governmental actions which combines neoliberal polices, such as inflation controls though macroeconomic variables and interventionist policies where the State plays a prominent role by expanding public spending. The conclusion includes reflections which encourage constructive debate and also suggest propossed, ideal scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
