Introduction: In 2013, the Ellas Hacen Program was created, targeting women in situations of socio-economic vulnerability and/or victims of gender-based violence. In 2018, it was unified with other policies in the Hacemos Futuro Program. Main objective: The objective of this article is to present the evolution of social policy Ellas Hacen, from its creation in 2013 until its unification in the Hacemos Futuro in 2018. In this way, through the journey through two different governmental initiatives (Cristina Fernández - Mauricio Macri), we problematize the way in which it is defined as a measure with a purported gender focus, while in the design and practice of this, problems related to it are omitted. Methodology: To fulfill the stated purpose, we integrate the view of gender studies into public policies. The reflections that constitute this article derive from a theoretical-critical analysis of the program mentioned. Results: The arrival of Cambiemos as a new political administration after three Kirchner's presidential mandates, is constituted not only as a new stage, but as a paradigm shift in terms of public policies with special impact on women. With the transition from Ellas Hacen to Hacemos Futuro, we see a return to visions that include the impoverishment of women as individuals, and their solution is linked to focalization and meritocracy. The referrals in terms of the design, management and implementation of these programs had negative implications for women. Conclusion: With this article we realized how the State omits and infers the particularities of this population group -women- in this type of measures, a factor that leads to further deepening gender inequities.

Introduction Since the XXI century, different governments in Latin America implemented social policies to promote the «Social, Solidarity and / or Popular Economy» (SSE). In Argentina, these emerging programs in the heat of the 2001 crisis and since then undergo different modifications associated with: the different phases of the economic cycle and the political sign of the different government administrations. Main objective Therefore, this research aims to study the main trends and transformations suffered by policies aimed at SSE in Argentina during the period 2001-2019. Method and technique From the perspective of critical theory and from the content analysis of different secondary sources, the different programs implemented from the portfolio of the Ministry of Social Development that are oriented towards the SSE implemented between 2001 and 2019 are studied. Results Both the appearance of SSE programs and their transformations are linked, on the one hand, to the impact of neoliberalism on the segmentation of the labor market and the consequent massification of social policies; and, on the other, to the gravitation of the levels of conflict of the unemployed movement in our country. Conclusion The analysis makes it possible to postulate that the trend towards the massification of social policy is a characteristic that runs through the entire period, regardless of the political sign of the government. At the same time, transformations are registered -especially during the Macri government-towards the weakening of cooperativism and the associative components and a tendency towards individual responsibility and the individualized transfer of recipients.

In Argentina and the region, there is a process of expansion of policies and initiatives around early childhood development as an axis of social protection. This process involves the complex intersection of narratives associated with social investment and human capital, neurosciences, and children's rights. Through an ethnographic perspective, this article examines the political and strategic uses deployed by actors and institutions that participate in the production of these policies and that are positioned in various ways and anchored in different trajectories and knowledge. The disputed nature of these uses and the contradictory processes of institutionalization restore the political character of these narratives that appeal to seemingly neutral languages. Early childhood, then, is demarcated, rather than as a mere object of technical intervention, as a node of political and epistemic disputes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to analyze a particular policy of conditional transfer of income: Universal Assignment for Child for Social Protection (UCASP), implemented in Argentina in 2009 by the then President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, through the Decree of Need and Urgency N.º 1602/09, as a non-contributory subsystem within the Family Allowances Regime instituted by Law N.º 24,714 and under the jurisdiction of the National Social Security Administration (ANSES). The study, methodologically based on the documentary analysis, is structured around a series of axes that are essential to examine the AUHPS, among them: the regional antecedents, the context prior to its emergence, the normative juridical aspects that support it, the subjects of law, the considerations and debates of feminism and the pejorative view of the most reactionary conservative sectors that demonstrate against this type of social policy that tends to equate in rights to the sons and daughters of formal workers both with those of informal workers as with those of those who are circumstantially unemployed [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 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 the following article we propose to analyze different productive and political experiences oriented to the social economy in the city of Rosario. To this end, we first described some specific aspects of the policies developed from the Under-Secretariat for Solidarity Economy of the municipality of Rosario, taking into account the national and local context in which this dependency is formed. In particular, our interest lies in addressing the heterogeneous practices, relationships and meanings that construct entrepreneurial and cooperative subjects in interactions with social policies. For this analysis we will make reference to the diverse trajectories of the subjects that come together in the conformation of the different experiences and in the modalities of connection with the State. Through this analysis, we seek to reconstitute the transactional field configured around the social policies of solidarity social economy, highlighting the state concessions to the demands of the subjects and the subjections / adaptations of these to the requirements of the policies, regulations, regulations and controls.

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.

This work describes and analyzes the weaknesses in the deployment of basic social programs in the city of Santa Fe (potable water supply and sewage system program) under the governance dynamics. It departures by recognizing that there has been a sort of conceptual turn tending to related governance dynamics with social policies to replace the usually «passive» character of the beneficiary of the programs by introducing socio-productive initiatives which tend to empower and provide of more active participation and involvement of the beneficiary into the deployment of the social policy/ program. However, the case analyzed shows an exaggerated recruitment of the state and of its responsibilities in such a sensitive issue (water supply) which demand those programs based on governance dynamics to be revised.

This article describes some progress of a broad ethnographic study of the ways of regulating young women's bodies and sexualities. It focuses on disputed meanings of young motherhood and abortion in the implementation of social policy for teenagers in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. I will introduce some aspects of the ways some behaviors are constructed as legitimate, and others as illegitimate for young mothers. The purpose is to explore how said categorical construction, produced in everyday implementation, intersects with ideas about their sexualities and the ways in which gender, age and class shape that construction.

This article examined the ways in which the government apparatus responded to issues related to the social question in Argentina, through an analysis of transitional employment programs and conditional cash transfer programs. As a methodological strategy, we worked with secondary data on welfare provision in order to reconstruct the modes by which responsibility was assigned and solutions were developed for the social problems in question. The predominant framework for addressing these social issues placed a heavy emphasis on self-responsibility and individualization of actors. Through the rising importance of what is known as human capital, these policies sought to create new subjectivities which may become agents of their own conditions of deprivation. Within the social policies analyzed, the government diagnosed poverty as resulting from a lack of individual skills, capabilities and behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the women's association movement in Buenos Aires between 1920 and 1940, and its connection with the emergence of a social state. Subsidised by the state, associations led by upper-class women provided a significant number of social assistance services to mothers, working women and children, and had a notable impact on the design of social policy. While historiography concurs that by 1930 the significance of this charitably oriented women's movement had started to decline, being replaced by public welfare services, this paper seeks to question such a conclusion by analysing three of the most important women's social welfare associations in the period and showing how, having become the maternal face of the state, they retained a central role in the provision of social assistance until well into the 1930s, thus helping to prevent the state from becoming a ‘colossal bureaucratic machine’.

The current housing problems in the city of Buenos Aires revolves around two phenomena, the precariousness and the evictions, in a context that is conceived like housing emergency. In response to this situation, some institutional organisms and certain social organizations with territorial roots in the south of the city, began to take forward actions of resilience opposing to the massive evictions, which take place as consequence of the real-estate pressure, and were concerning to the hotels, pensions, tenancies, and usurped houses of this zone of the city. It will be analyzed the actions of resilience displayed by them in their individual and collective dimensions and their relation to housing policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The success or failure of the implementation of these policies is also explored.

In this article, we present preliminary results of a qualitative research project, which aims to explore the social construction of childhood in social programs. The purpose of this article is to critically approach the transformation of social policy through these programs. We adhere to the general ideational assumptions that the programs' definition of problems, needs and clients express the institutionalization of the human rights discourse in our context. Finally, the central argument is that children's rights discourse is reframed in its institutionalization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper addresses the discourse conflicts concerning development and the social issue, between the government elites and the power groups during post-Peronist developmentalism era in Argentina. Because of space limitations emphasis will be made on the Onganía's government. Governmentality crisis faced during that period can be explained on the grounds of the difficulty elites in power had to come to an agreement on a hegemonic discourse concerning those issues, as it is argued here. The empirical analysis will show a constant: permanence in time of a liberal narrative against any effort of state regulation and the failed attempt to create an alternative narrative through the development significant.

This work deals with the analysis of a policy on the promotion of education equality framed within the National Law of Education. It focuses on one of the national programs for Educational Inclusion: "Going back to school", implemented since 2006 in every Argentine educational jurisdiction. The unit of analysis is the School "Juan T. Zavala" located in the city of San Luis. There, field work consisting of interviews with teachers was conducted. The analysis is based on the conceptualization of social policies as part of public policies in order to examine thoroughly the principles underlying two different types of States: the welfare and the neo-liberal state.

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.
