Over
the last two decades, social policy reforms in Latin America have provided
new perspectives, models and paradigms on how to meet the challenges of reducing
poverty and vulnerability in developing countries. New approaches include conditional
cash transfers and integrated poverty eradication programmes. These have
many features which set them apart from traditional social policy.
A
workshop organised by the DSA Social Protection Group will bring together
an interdisciplinary group of researchers working on these issues. It will explore
issues such as:
- What
are the main lessons from recent social policy reforms in Latin America?
- To
what extent is the explicit attention to gender issues leading to 'empowering
social policy' or a 'new maternalism'?
It
will take place on the 10th May at Birkbeck College, University of London,
Mallet Street, London WC1E 7HX.
