Area of Science:

  • Comparative Politics
  • Public Policy Analysis
  • Socioeconomics

Context:

  • Examines welfare state responses to globalization in OECD countries (1980s-90s).
  • Analyzes the impact of economic internationalization on Brazil's social protection system.
  • Investigates shifts in social welfare funding and beneficiary selection criteria.

Purpose:

  • To assess the extent of welfare state dismantling under globalization pressures.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of social protection systems in response to economic internationalization.
  • To identify factors influencing social policy choices in Brazil.

Summary:

  • Evidence does not support the dismantling hypothesis for OECD welfare states; funding and beneficiary criteria remained largely unchanged.
  • Brazil's social protection system faced limitations due to public expenditure restrictions, leading to targeted policies.
  • Health policy in Brazil was an exception, demonstrating resilience through effective interest mediation.

Impact:

  • Challenges the notion of widespread welfare state retrenchment due to globalization.
  • Highlights the constraints on universal social policies in developing economies like Brazil.
  • Underscores the role of policy design and interest group dynamics in shaping social protection outcomes.
