Resumo
This thesis aims to analyze the concept of Social Policy Inter-American Development Bank from the neoliberal period in order to understand its characteristics and foundations. Concurrently, it plans to unveil the implications of setting social policy ideas promoted by the bank for Latin American societies. For this, the author conducted the work in three moments. Initially, presents the institution - IADB - from the context of its emergence to its current operation, discussing about itsthemes and approaches and also its function to finance projects in Latin America. Further, the author undertakes a discussion about the theoretical foundations that legitimized IADB’s creation and is still used as justification for their activities in the current period. Therefore she directly examined the projects related to social policies supported by the Bank through the analysis of documents and official positions disclosed by the same. From the obtained data, the author concludes that the Bank’s design of social policy matches with the international trend of focusing to extremely vulnerable populations. Moreover, the Bank projects seek offset the negative impacts of structural adjustments which underwent Latin America governments in previous decades. This implies directly in the very conception of State as the institution responsible for giving conditions to the reproduction of the competitive and equal access’ market. Therefore, IADB is configured as one of the institutions responsible for promoting a conception of social policy that does not fit the real needs of Latin America, but rather that deepens social inequalities despite the promotion of itself as an actor that responds to the region’s specific needs.
