Summary:

"With the rise of poverty, welfare state crises, health crises, and populist governments, state intervention and social policies are greatly affected by emotions. Based on sociological research carried out in Argentina, this book aims to examine state interventions at a global level and identify the emotions that shape social policies addressing nationwide poverty. In understanding the social structures of the 21st century, it is crucial to analyze social policies from psychological and physiological perspectives. Thus, this book explores the connection between emotions, well-being, and feelings to women's participation in social policies and the dimension of uncertainty, trust, and fear from these interventions. Further, this book examines cash transfers and energy insufficiency in social policies that address poverty. Moreover, it seeks to understand new social architectures by discovering the sensibilities configured over the years in impoverished populations and recipients of state policies"-- Provided by publisher.
