ALONSO, Guillermo V.  y  COSTA, Valeria Di. Beyond the contributory principle: changes and continuities in Argentine social policy , 2003-2011. Estud. sociol [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.97, pp.31-62. ISSN 2448-6442.

The goal of this article is to analyze the transformations of Argentine social policy during Nestor Kirchner’s and Cristina Fernandez’s Administrations, from 2003 through 2011. We analyze the main social policies with more extended population coverage, especially social security programs. We will argue that at the beginning social policies were a new version of the Bismarckian social insurance, but then the government innovated in social policy breaking with the contributory principle.
