This book explores recent social policy reforms and innovations in Chile. Focusing on four major reform episodes - health, pensions, childcare, and maternity leave - Silke Staab unveils the complex interplay of factors that have shaped the successes and failures of actors pursuing positive gender change in social policy. She shows that even in highly constrained settings positive gender change is possible, but that its scope and quality are bound to vary in response to sector-specific institutional constraints and opportunities.

Silke Staab is a research specialist at UN Women in New York, USA. She holds a PhD in Politics from the University of Manchester, UK. Her work on gender, politics and social policy has been published in journals like Social Politics, Development and Change, and Third World Quarterly. She is also co-editor of Global Variations in Political and Social Economy of Care (with S. Razavi, 2013).
