This book provides an account of social protection institutions in Latin America. It aims to develop a systematic understanding of the contribu-tion of social protection institutions to shaping economic and social cooperation in the region. It is motivated by an acknowledgement that we lack a settled theory of social protection institutions in Latin America. Comparative study of social protection in the region has accelerated in recent decades. The availability of harmonised data on social protection programmes, their features, implementation, and outcomes has made this possible. Regular household survey data, attitudinal data, and pro-gramme evaluation data offer a range of tools to support the study social protection institutions. A substantive comparative research literature built on improving comparative data is making a significant contribution to our understanding of the role and scope of social protection in the region. This book contributes to advance research further towards the development of a theory of social protection in Latin America. By theory it is meant a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the contribution of social protection institutions to shaping social and economic cooperation. The development of a theory of social protection in Latin America has been delayed by two approaches common in the literature.1 Implicit in much of the literature on social protection in the region is the assump-tion that our institutions are on a slow march towards fully fledged European welfare states, taken as the inescapable point of destination. The implication flowing from this assumption is that social protection institutions in the region are best understood as underdeveloped welfare states. Researchers interested in social protection in Latin America have much to learn from theories and methods developed to study welfare states. They provide a wealth of knowledge and practice that constitute an essential toolbox for social protection researchers worldwide. However, a global perspective on social protection will confirm that welfare states are a special case of institutional development, far from an inescapable destination. A general theory of welfare institutions, global in its scope, will be delayed in its advance if its parameters are set by a special case
