Doctoral Dissertation Research: Determinants of Welfare State Spending

SES编号：1003012 PI：Jill S.佛罗里达州立大学这个项目探讨了拉丁美洲国家的福利国家支出。有两个研究问题。首先，政府间组织、国际非政府组织和人权条约的批准如何影响18个拉丁美洲国家1980-2000年的社会保障和福利、卫生和教育支出？第二，宗教政党的作用是什么？该研究以传统的福利国家理论为基础，同时也融合了世界社会理论和人权研究等新方法。预计天主教和新教政党将与福利国家支出呈正相关。另外，预计《国际残疾人权利公约》和人权条约将与社会支出呈正相关，而政府间组织将与福利国家支出呈负相关。这项研究强调了政治全球化和日益全球化的人权规范在决定国内社会支出结果方面的重要性。此外，对拉丁美洲社会支出和政策的研究将在课堂上是有用的，让学生比较社会支出和地方和国际政治之间的联系，如拉丁美洲，美国和西欧地区。

SES#: 1003012PI: Jill S. QuadagnoCo-PI: Kaiser Russell ShekhaFlorida State UniversityThis project explores welfare state spending in Latin American countries. There are two research questions. First, how do Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs), International Nongovernmental Organizations (INGOs), and ratification of human rights treaties affect social security and welfare, health, and education spending in 18 Latin American countries from 1980-2000? Second, what are the effects of religious political parties? The study builds on traditional welfare state theories, while also integrating new approaches such as World Society theory and human rights research. It is anticipated that Catholic and Protestant political parties will be positively associated with welfare state spending. It is also expected that while INGOs and human rights treaties will be positively associated with social spending, IGOs will be negatively associated with welfare state spending. This study highlights the importance of political globalization and increasingly global human rights norms in determining the outcomes of domestic social spending. Additionally, research on Latin American social spending and policy will be useful in classrooms, allowing students to compare the linkages of social spending and local and international politics between regions like Latin America, the United States, and Western Europe.
