<p>Este trabalho compara os governos de esquerda de Uruguai, Chile e Argentina tanto entre eles quanto com os governos anteriores à entrada da esquerda nos executivos nacionais. A análise engloba as políticas de educação, saúde e programas de transferência condicionada de renda. Essas áreas foram escolhidas porque apresentam legados distintos entre si, mas similares nos três países. A metodologia utilizada é a análise comparada cross-case e within-case. Os resultados mostram que as esquerdas do Uruguai e da Argentina se diferenciam das administrações anteriores. Já no Chile, ela não se diferencia dos governos anteriores no mesmo grau que seus vizinhos na saúde e na educação, apesar de também institucionalizar a transferência de renda como forma de enfrentamento da pobreza. Ou seja, os governos de esquerda, de forma geral, apresentam esforços distintos dos seus antecessores, mas diferem entre si nos graus em que isso ocorre refletindo o perfil de cada país de esquerda nos seus respectivos parlamentos e de cada ator envolvido.</p><p><strong>COMPARING SOCIAL POLICIES IN LEFT GOVERNMENTS </strong></p><p>This paper compares the leftist governments of Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina, both among themselves and with the administrations before left’s entry into national executives. The analysis encompasses education, health, and conditional cash transfer programs. These areas were selected because they have distinct legacies among themselves, but similar in all three countries. The methodology used is cross-case and within-case comparative analysis. The results show that the Uruguay and Argentina left’s administrations differ from previous administrations. In Chile, however, it does not differ from previous governments to the same extent as its neighbors in health and education, although it also institutionalizes cash transfer as a way of coping with poverty. That is, leftist governments, in general, present distinct efforts from their predecessors, but differ in the degree to which this occurs reflecting the profile of each leftist country in their respective parliaments and of each actor involved.</p><p>Key words: Social Policies.

C’est à dire, les gouvernements de gauche, en général, présentent des efforts différents de leurs prédécesseurs, mais diffèrent par leurs degrés, reflétant le profil de chaque pays de gauche dans ses parlements respectifs et de chaque acteur impliqué.</p><p>Mots-clés: Politiques sociales.

El programa de Expansión y Mejoramiento de la Educación Técnica Agropecuaria (E.M.E.T.A.) destinado a la escuela media rural empezó a pensarse para ser aplicado, en la región de América Latina, hacia fines de la década de 1970. En el transcurso de la década de 1980, se presentaron en Argentina, la mayor parte de los diagnósticos provinciales que describían la realidad de este tipo de enseñanza para las diferentes regiones del país. Con financiamiento del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (B.I.D.) así como del Ministerio de Educación Argentino se pone en marcha el programa para el total del país. La aplicación del programa difería de acuerdo a la necesidad de cada caso. Se presenta aquí la experiencia de una Escuela Agropecuaria situada en el Noroeste de Argentina, específicamente en la localidad de Chamical, provincia de La Rioja. El propósito, de este escrito, es analizar las formas de aplicación del programa EMETA y el impacto que tuvo el mismo en lo local. Como así también, es nuestra intención, poner a disposición estas experiencias, compartidas por distintas regiones de América Latina, para iniciar el diálogo posible entre las mismas. El método empleado para esta investigación fue mixto, entre revisión documental y entrevistas en profundidad. Como resultado pudimos recuperar la experiencia de aplicación del programa en esta zona de Argentina, también sienta un precedente esencial debido a que no se disponía de material édito específico. Palabras clave: Programa EMETA, Educación Rural en Argentina, Escuela Media, Enseñanza Técnica. Abstract The program called Expansion and Improvement of Agricultural Technical Education (EMETA by its acronym in Spanish), for rural middle schools was meant to be applied in Latin America in the late 1970s. During the 1980s in Argentina, most of the provincial diagnoses describing the reality of this kind of education for each region of the country were presented. .The program started nation-wide with funding from the Inter-American Development Bank (BID) and the Argentinean Ministry of Education. Application differed according to the needs of each case. The experience presented here is that of an Agricultural School located northwest of Argentina, in Chamical, province of La Rioja. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the various forms of application of the EMETA program and is local impact. Such experiences are made available, shared by different regions of Latin America, to start a possible dialogue among them. The method used for this research combined document review and interviews. As a result we were able to recover the application experience of the program in this area of Argentina, setting an important precedent because there was no specific printed material available.

Latin American cash transfer programs have been implemented aiming at particular anticipatory scenarios. Given that the fulfillment of cash transfer objectives can be calculated neither empirically nor rationally a priori, I analyse these programs in this article using the concept of an “imaginary future.” I posit that cash transfer implementers in Latin America have entertained three main fictional expectations: social pacification in the short term, market inclusion in the long term, and the construction of a more distributive society in the very long term. I classify and date these developing expectations into three waves of conditional cash transfers implementation.
