The Pink Tide and social policy agendas: the government platforms of the PSC h (2000) and the PT (2002)

In this paper I propose an analysis of the social agenda of the government program of two Latin-American left-wing parties: the Socialist Party of Chile (PSCh) and the Workers’ Party (PT) in Brazil.

description In this paper I propose an analysis of the social agenda of the government program of two Latin-American left-wing parties: the Socialist Party of Chile (PSCh) and the Workers’ Party (PT) in Brazil. Both were part of the so-called “Maré Rosa” or Pink Tide, a political phenomenon which brought about an electoral renewal and the victory of left-wing parties in elections for the executive branch in Latin America. The starting point of my analysis is the question: what are the similarities and the differences in the social agendas of these two parties between the years 2000 and 2002? We hypothesize that both parties were elected amid a crisis of democratic representation and the loss of legitimacy of mainstream parties as well as the party system during the “lost decade”. Both proposed a solution to this problem: augment social policies applicable to certain specific groups, taking into account the institutional and political heterogeneity of these interest groups.

O propósito deste artigo é analisar a agenda social das plataformas de governo de dois partidos de esquerda latino-americanos: o Partido Socialista do Chile (PSCh) no Chile e o Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) no Brasil. Ambos os partidos participaram do fenômeno político notadamente conhecido como maré rosa, tido como a renovação e vitória eleitoral dos governos de esquerda ao poder executivo na América Latina. Esta análise parte da seguinte questão: Como são delimitadas as políticas sociais nos programas de governo do PSCh (2000) e do PT (2002)? Utilizaremos a análise de conteúdo para verificar quais as similaridades e as diferenças entre as duas plataformas e levantar inferências sobre o sistema de proteção social nos dois países, considerando o período em questão. Partiremos da hipótese de que estes partidos se apresentaram como alternativas para a crise de representação democrática e de legitimidade de partidos e sistemas partidários em vários países na denominada década perdida. Estas partes propuseram uma solução para o problema: ampliar as políticas sociais aplicadas a grupos sociais específicos, levando em consideração a heterogeneidade institucional e a política dos grupos de interesse. 2018-07-31 2022-03-18T18:33:32Z 2022-03-18T18:33:32Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/10920 10.52780/res.10920 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63294 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/10920/7473 Copyright (c) 2018 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 23 n. 44 (2018): Dossiê: Sociologia e literatura nas diversas formas e fases da modernidade 1982-4718 1414-0144
