Políticas de Igualdad desde Latinoamérica: transformación hacia sociedades en los cuidados es un texto que expone las desigualdades en la vida cotidiana de la familia y el trabajo, las diferencias entre los géneros, en el contexto de un sistema capitalista que se resiste a reconocer la subordinación del trabajo remunerado y no remunerado, entre los géneros, y que debe abrir el debate profundo de la importancia de los cuidados con el afán de dar respuesta a un vacío histórico que no se ha logrado explicar, por qué los cuidados siguen siendo mayoritariamente solo un asunto de las mujeres. ¿Quién cuida a quién? es un gran interrogante. En la actualidad, los cuidados involucran a todos los sectores de la sociedad que se articulan entre lo político, lo económico, la salud y lo social en los diferentes ciclos de vida del ser humano. ¿Qué sucede si el gasto social de los cuidados es incosteable para el Estado, las empresas y las organizaciones sindicales de trabajadores? ¿Qué sucede si disminuyen o desaparecen los apoyos sociales de los cuidados? Es necesario pues una propuesta de análisis sobre las políticas de igualdad de género y los cuidados como la que aquí se presenta, que se realizan desde las ciencias sociales, con un enfoque pluridisciplinar que incluye la economía, la sociología, la antropología, el derecho o la geografía. El objetivo central es que estos análisis y reflexiones de las políticas públicas en materia de igualdad que se han implementado en los distintos países latinoamericanos puedan contribuir en las políticas públicas en todo el mundo.

This Element analyses the political dynamics of neo-extractivism in Latin America. It discusses the critical concepts of neo-extractivism and the commodity consensus and the various phases of socio-environmental conflict, proposing an eco-territorial approach that uncovers the escalation of extractive violence. It also presents horizontal concepts and debates theories that explore the language of Latin American socio-environmental movements, such as Buen Vivir and Derechos de la Naturaleza. In concluding, it proposes an explanation for the end of the progressive era, analyzing its ambiguities and limitations in the dawn of a new political cycle marked by the strengthening of the political rights.

Care work, both paid and unpaid, contributes to well-being, social development and economic growth. But the costs of providing care are unequally borne across gender and social class. Feminist scholarship on the gendered construction of welfare provisioning and welfare regimes has produced a conceptually strong and empirically grounded analysis of care, reinforcing the necessity of rethinking the distinctions between "the public" and "the private" as well as the links between them. Yet this analysis, premised on post-industrial contexts, does not travel easily to other parts of the world. Many of its core assumptions – about family structures, labor markets, state capacities, and public social provisioning – do not hold for a wider range of countries. Drawing on original research on the care economy in three developing regions (Africa, Asia, Latin America), this volume addresses a major empirical lacuna while facilitating a conversation across the North-South divide.

The state is central to social scientific and historical inquiry today, reflecting its importance in domestic and international affairs. States kill, coerce, fight, torture, and incarcerate, yet they also nurture, protect, educate, redistribute, and invest. It is precisely because of the complexity and wide-ranging impacts of states that research on them has proliferated and diversified. Yet, too many scholars inhabit separate academic silos, and theorizing of states has become dispersed and disjointed. This book aims to bridge some of the many gaps between scholarly endeavors, bringing together scholars from a diverse array of disciplines and perspectives who study states and empires. The book offers not only a sample of cutting-edge research that can serve as models and directions for future work, but an original conceptualization and theorization of states, their origins and evolution, and their effects.

What differences do welfare state variations make for women? How do women and men fare in different welfare states? Diane Sainsbury answers these questions by analysing the situation in countries whose welfare state policies differ in significant ways: the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Building on feminist criticisms of mainstream research, Professor Sainsbury reconceptualises the crucial dimensions of variation, notably those relevant to gender. She determines the extent to which legislation reflects and perpetuates the gendered division of labour in the family and society, as well as what types of policy alter gender relations in social provision. She thereby increases our understanding of how policy mechanisms, especially the bases of entitlement, exclude or incorporate women and offers constructive proposals for securing greater equality between women and men.

Gender and Welfare State Regimes focuses on the interrelationships between aspects of the welfare state and labour market policies in structuring and transforming gender relations across a broad spectrum of countries. The book examines the construction of gender in various government welfare policies and illustrates how the specific qualities of the welfare state reinforce or counteract gender inequalities. The book argues that policy variation across the countries surveyed can be attributed to a variety of factors, including differing strategies and demands of the women's movements, the organisational strength of labour movements and industrial relations frameworks, the constellation of parties supporting equality measure, traditional values and state structures.
