The unique contribution of the book is based on the analysis of 3 substantive welfare areas - land (for self-help housing), urban infrastructure and health - which are examined in terms of the nature, motivation and effectiveness of government intervention. The book covers 3 administrations between 1970 and the mid-1980s and sets the analysis in the wider context of Latin American affairs. The author shows that although social welfare expenditure has increased, its importance as a government priority has been sharply eroded. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46931007570071,"sku":"9781032556833","price":2656.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032556833.webp?v=1771610411","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/welfare-politics-in-mexico-papering-over-the-cracks-9781032556833","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
