Latin America's “left turn” expanded cash transfers and public services, contributing to lower poverty and inequality. Recently, right-leaning candidates and parties have begun to win back seats in the legislature, and in some cases have captured the executive branch. This shift has sparked debate about the future of Latin America's welfare states. This article analyzes social policy reforms enacted by two recent right-leaning governments: that of Sebastián Piñera in Chile (2010–14) and Mauricio Macri in Argentina (2015–). It finds that contrary to neoliberal adjustment policies of the past, neither Macri nor Piñera engaged in privatization or deep spending cuts. Instead, both administrations facilitated a process of policy drift in some sectors and marginal expansion in others. Policy legacies and the strength of the opposition help to explain these outcomes, suggesting that Latin America's political context has been transformed by the consolidation of democracy and the experience of left party rule.

阿根廷和智利的社会政策和中右翼政府

拉丁美洲的“左转”扩大了现金转移支付和公共服务,有助于减少贫困和不平等。最近,右倾候选人和政党开始在立法机构中夺回席位,在某些情况下还占领了行政部门。这种转变引发了关于拉丁美洲福利国家未来的争论。本文分析了最近两个右倾政府实施的社会政策改革:智利的塞巴斯蒂安·皮涅拉 (Sebastián Piñera) (2010-14) 和阿根廷的毛里西奥·马克里 (Mauricio Macri) (2015-)。它发现,与过去的新自由主义调整政策相反,马克里和皮涅拉都没有参与私有化或大幅削减开支。相反,两届政府都促成了一些部门的政策漂移和其他部门的边际扩张。
