description The research aims to analyze the role that political variables have in the configuration of the welfare state. The selected case studies are examples of the proposed political typology: Uruguay (high welfare state), Mexico (medium welfare state) and Guatemala (low welfare state). The research states that it is important to propose a typology with an explanatory ability, highlighting welfare states’ structural configurations, and not just describing their short-term results. A political typology of welfare states has the advantage of highlighting the most significant explanatory variables for understanding the welfare state, it’s political institutions, and especially democracy and state’s capacity.

El objetivo de la investigación es analizar el rol que tienen las variables políticas en la configuración del Estado de bienestar. Los casos de estudio seleccionados son ejemplos de la tipología política propuesta: Uruguay (Estado de bienestar alto), México (Estado de bienestar medio) y Guatemala (Estado de bienestar bajo). En la investigación se afirma que es importante plantear una tipología de los Estados de bienestar que tenga la capacidad de ser explicativa y de resaltar sus configuraciones estructurales, y no solo describir sus resultados coyunturales. La tipología política de los Estados de bienestar tiene la ventaja de resaltar la variable explicativa más significativa para entender el Estado de bienestar, las instituciones políticas, especialmente la democracia y la capacidad del Estado. 2019-12-26 2022-03-17T17:21:07Z 2022-03-17T17:21:07Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares http://publicaciones.claeh.edu.uy/index.php/cclaeh/article/view/404 10.29192/CLAEH.38.2.11 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/46155 spa http://publicaciones.claeh.edu.uy/index.php/cclaeh/article/view/404/345 Derechos de autor 2019 Cuadernos del Claeh http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Centro Latinoamericano de Economía Humana (Universidad CLAEH) Cuadernos del Claeh; Vol. 38 Núm. 110 (2019); 253-272 2393-5979 0797-6062
