Murray, C. and Clapham, D. (2015) Housing Policies in Latin America: overview of the four largest economies. International Journal of Housing Policy, 15 (3). pp. 347-364. ISSN 1461-6718 doi: 10.1080/14616718.2015.1055090

Abstract/Summary

The aim of this paper is to examine the differences and similarities in housing policies in the four Latin American countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia. The article uses the welfare regime approach, modified by a recognition of path dependence, to identify a number of phases that each country has passed through. However, attention is drawn to the substantial differences in the circumstances in each country and the extent and duration of the different phases. It is concluded that it can be beneficial to use the concept of a Latin American housing regime, but that this general picture has to be used with an understanding of the path dependence caused by the different context in the individual countries.
