La producción de la pobreza como objeto de gobierno
El libro aborda una faceta subterránea de las políticas sociales referidas a la pobreza: los instrumentos y procedimientos de medición de ella y de clasificación de las personas como pobres en Chile. El libro indaga en la constitución de la pobreza que es objeto de gobierno, como producto de procedimientos científicos de medición, que son parte de procesos de gubernamentalidad, según la noción de Foucault, y que expresan los entrecruzamientos entre saber y poder. Trata así de la ontología y epistemología de la pobreza que es objeto de regulación y atención pública, y de los pobres que son consignados como merecedores de ayuda estatal.
Políticas sociales en Chile
El “Estado de bienestar” chileno era generoso y estaba en expansión hasta el golpe de Estado de 1973. Durante la dictadura ese sistema tradicional fue destruido, imponiéndose por la fuerza un sistema dual y residual. Desde la restauración democrática, y especialmente desde 2000, los gobiernos de la Concertación intentaron expandir su cobertura nuevamente, buscando (re)instaurar un sistema de cobertura más universalista.

Regional Governance and Policy-Making in South America
This book analyzes Latin American regional integration with a novel conceptual approach grounded in extensive field research. Using the UNASUR (Unión de Naciones Suramericanas) as a case study, the author investigates the process of policy-making in regional public policy fields in South America. The project focuses on intergovernmental structures of regional organizations as an institutional framework for a variety of independent processes in regions. It also challenges the perspective of democratic states as unitary actors and seeks to analyze the factors which favor or obstruct regional processes in different policy-fields. This work will appeal to researchers, graduate students and anyone interested in Latin American politics and policy-making.
Economía, salud y envejecimiento
El siglo XXI presenta una profunda revolución demográfica, lo que produce un desafío médico-social el siglo XXI presenta una profunda revolución demográfica, lo que produce un desafío médico-social-económico nunca vivido por la humanidad. Hoy, de cada cien personas en el mundo, ocho son mayores de 65 años y las proyecciones alertan que serán cerca de veinte antes del año 2050, mismo año en que para Chile se estima que por cada cien personas en edad de trabajar, habrá cuarenta y tres con 65 o más años. El envejecimiento de la población trae desafíos que van más allá de la sostenibilidad de las pensiones, razón por la que es recomendable afrontar con realismo el desafío d...
Motherhood, Social Policies and Women's Activism in Latin America
This book is a critical resource for understanding the relationship between gender, social policy and women’s activism in Latin America, with specific reference to Chile. Latin America’s mother-centered kinship system makes it an ideal field in which to study motherhood and maternalism—the ways in which motherhood becomes a public policy issue. As maternalism embraces and enhances gender differences, it has been criticized for deepening gender inequalities. Yet invoking motherhood continues to offer an effective strategy for advancing women’s living conditions and rights, and for women themselves to be present in the public sphere. In analyzing these important relationships, the contributors to this volume discuss maternal health, sexual and reproductive rights, labor programs, paid employment, women miners’ unionization, housing policies, environmental suffering, and LGBTQ intimate partner violence.
Education and Poverty
What are the effects of recent public policies for reducing educational inequalities? How do privatization and other market-based education measures influence schooling in poverty contexts and teacher training programs? In what ways, and to what extent, can these programs take responsibility for improving low-income students’ learning? How do ethnic and cultural differences relate to socioeconomic differences at school? This collection of essays serves to improve the reader’s understanding of the complex relations between education and poverty. While it does this mainly by delving into problems and challenges of the Chilean educational system, they are also currently of international con...
(Re)conceptualising Children’s Rights in Infant-Toddler Care and Education
This book brings together researchers from a variety of national contexts to examine and explore the conceptualisation, reconceptualisation and translation of children’s rights for infants and toddlers in early childhood education and care settings.It brings together authors from various national contexts to examine changing understandings and manifestations of infant and toddler rights in Early Childhood Education and Care. The book aims to engender trans-national dialogue through the contributions. Through such dialogue, both authors and readers are challenged to recognise the specificity of their own cultural contexts and thereby envision a more expansive view of infant and toddler rights. By drawing together reflections on infant-toddler rights from key early childhood researchers across the world, this book will extend readers understandings of rights – not only in terms of how rights are (re)conceptualised but also how to meaningfully translate the rights afforded in policy to practice.
Tasks, Skills, and Institutions
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. The book investigates the trends in earnings inequalities in developing countries to determine the main drivers. Particular attention is paid to extending the most conventional explanations of changes in earnings inequality, based on the relative abundance of skilled and unskilled labour, with recent theories that put the nature of tasks performed by workers in their jobs, rather than their skills, at the centre of the analysis. The latter approach has helped to explain relevant...
