| Description: | This article discusses the signifcance and reach of concepts such as Welfare State, Welfare Regime, social protection systems, social risk management and basic universalism. It is argued that trends in social policy, beyond the influenceof government programs, or purely technical factors, are related to other kinds of arrangements within society and its political processes in order to provide welfare. Specifically, political directions and trasitions are traced in Mexicansociety from the 1940’s, when the welfare institutions were created, and the “corporatist pact” was enforced, until the neo-liberal approaches in vogue since the 1980’s, when structural adjustments were introduced, and more recentlythe universalization of basic social services. The intention is not to focus on specific actions or in the impact of transformations, but on the implications entailed by focusing on a particular approach in the field of social policy. En este trabajo se discuten los significados y alcances de conceptos como Estado de bienestar (en adelante EB), régimen de bienestar, sistemas de protección social, manejo social del riesgo, y universalismo básico. Se argumenta que las tendencias de la política social, más allá de responder a programas de gobierno o a intereses puramente técnicos, están relacionadas con los tipos de arreglosexistentes en cada sociedad para proveer el bienestar y con los procesos políticos de cada contexto. La pretensión no es enfocarse en el análisis de acciones específicas o en el impacto de las transformaciones, sino en las implicaciones que conlleva asumir un enfoque particular en el campo de las políticas sociales. |
