Abstract
CARDOZO BRUM, Myriam Irma. Neoliberalismo y eficiencia de los programas sociales en México. Polít. cult. [online]. 2005, n.24, pp.169-186. ISSN 0188-7742.
This paper analyzes the changes that were introduced into social policies by neoliberalism, and particularly said policies' concern for effectiveness. In turn, such concern resulted in a heightened interest in reviewing social programs in hopes of securing the best performance possible in terms of cost-benefit. The paper also looks at the assessments that were carried out during the years 2002-2003 to review the management of social development programs. A conclusion was reached that significant improvements have been achieved on the matter, yet significant problems remain to be solved in order for the assessments to be methodologically reliable as well as useful.
Keywords : neoliberalism; social policy; México; assessment and effectiveness.
