Resumo

We examine the impact globalization and democratization have on social spending in Latin America. To measure globalization we construct a new indicator of financial liberalization for the Latin American cases based on Dennis Quinn s measure of financial openness (Quinn 1997). We find there are two logics upon which globalization operates. Trade openness has a decidedly negative impact on social spending as a percentage of GDP while financial openness has a strong positive correlation with increased spending on social welfare. Politicians operating under democratic constraints are also more likely to spend on social welfare programs. Our research implies that globalization is a complex process that simultaneously holds both beneficial and deleterious consequences for the provision of social welfare programs in Latin America.
