ABSTRACT This article explores social policy reforms championed by the Philippines’ strongman president Rodrigo Duterte during his first three years in office (2016–19), as a case for examining the transformative potential of social policy expansion under rising new right‐wing and authoritarian leaders. By showing how political economy and historico‐institutional conditions foreclose the transformative possibilities of the social policy changes effected by Duterte, the author offers a critique of current tendencies in global development discourses to treat all forms of social policy expansion as progressive. In the Philippines case, there is no progressive ideology guiding the reforms, nor are there political movements overseeing the expansion of social rights now inscribed in law. Rather, the reforms institutionally entrench a minimalist approach to universalism and strengthen the foothold of poverty targeting as an organizing principle of social provisioning. Social policy expansion under Duterte manifests aspects of the ‘dark side’ of social policy reforms during the current global political moment, including the use of such policy reforms to legitimize a conservative and authoritarian political order, and the functionality, across the political spectrum, of ‘narrow universalism’ — the type championed by international development agencies — which serves to deepen segmentation in social provisioning.

变革而不转型：杜特尔特领导下的菲律宾社会政策改革

摘要 本文探讨了菲律宾强人总统罗德里戈·杜特尔特 (Rodrigo Duterte) 在上任的前三年 (2016-19 年) 倡导的社会政策改革，以此作为检验在新右翼和威权领导人崛起的情况下社会政策扩张的变革潜力的案例. 通过展示政治经济学和历史制度条件如何排除杜特尔特影响的社会政策变革的变革可能性，作者对全球发展话语中将所有形式的社会政策扩张视为进步的当前趋势进行了批判。在菲律宾的案例中，没有指导改革的进步意识形态，也没有监督现已写入法律的社会权利扩大的政治运动。相当，改革在体制上确立了普遍主义的极简主义方法，并加强了将扶贫作为社会供给的组织原则的立足点。杜特尔特领导下的社会政策扩张体现了当前全球政治时刻社会政策改革的“阴暗面”，包括利用此类政策改革使保守和专制政治秩序合法化，以及“狭隘的普遍主义”——国际发展机构所倡导的类型——有助于加深社会供给的细分。
