    This document is an edited collection of chapters that examines the development of welfare states in Latin American countries in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The collection is divided into five parts that group countries based on their histories and experiences: 1) modernizing countries on the threshold of the 21st century, 2) ancient American empires, 3) late immigrant countries, 4) former areas of American slavery, and 5) early American settlers. Each chapter analyzes the evolution of social policies in a different Latin American country and how those policies relate to their economic development models. The collection aims to understand whether Latin America is developing a new model of a developmental welfare state.
