Sumario:Emphasizing a cognitive approach of the processes of constitution, consolidation and weakening of the Latin American Welfare State, this article aims at retracing the evolution of public policies’ normative frame of reference that have shaped the ways of economic and social State intervention in the semi-industrialized countries of the region throughout the last thirty years. The experience of Argentina, which was a “pioneer” on several aspects, let us illustrate the main questions underlying the framing of this issue. She interrogates the passage from the social to the political question in the framework of economic and financial globalization which tends to strengthen pressures for the States’ alignment – promoting transnational policies that, if they seem to be convergent in their goals, are nevertheless differentiated in their implementation and local impacts. In the background of an analysis searching to underscore a comparative perspective at the regional scale, the notions of regulation/deregulation appear in tension at the basis of different transformations of public action and of goals and tools of social intervention. Even more in institutional contexts less stabilized than those of West European societies, where the Welfare State institutions were built and developed in the aftermaths of World War II for strengthening social cohesion.
