Social policies can transform the lives of the poor and
marginalized, yet inequitable implementation often limits their
access. Uneven Social Policies shifts the focus of welfare state
analysis away from policy design and toward policy implementation.
By examining variation in political motivations, state capacity,
and policy legacies, it explains why some policies are implemented
more effectively than others, why some deliver votes to incumbent
governments while others do not, and why regionally elected
executives block the implementation of some but not all national
policies. Niedzwiecki explores this variation across provinces and
municipalities by combining case studies with statistical analysis
of conditional cash transfers and health policies in two
decentralized countries, Argentina and Brazil. The analysis draws
on original data gathered during fifteen months of field research
that included more than 230 interviews with politicians and 140
with policy recipients.
