An investigation into the evolution of poverty reduction strategies in Brazil and Argentina over the past two decades, focusing on programs like Bolsa Fam�lia and Asignaci�n Universal por Hijo. In today's Latin America, social policy is a battleground. At stake is not just poverty relief, but the very meaning of citizenship and whether transformation is still possible in times of austerity and conservative backlash. Through a critical and comparative lens, this book reveals how political agendas, institutional legacies, and economic crises have shaped-and undermined-social protection systems. It reveals the dilemmas faced by social policy in times of democratic erosion, economic crisis, and rising inequality across the Latin American region.
