Poverty relief programs are shaped by politics. The particular design that social programs take is, to a large extent, determined by the existing institutional constraints and politicians' imperative to win elections. In this talk, Alberto Díaz-Cayeros will take his co-authored book The Political Logic of Poverty Relief: Electoral Strategies and Social Policy in Mexico, as the starting point to reflect on where social policy is heading in the future.
Díaz-Cayeros is the Director of Center for Latin American Studies and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies from Stanford University.
All are welcome.
