Abstract
This article analyzes the main program of conditional cash transfers in Argentina between 2003 and 2009: the Plan Familias por la Inclusión Social implemented through a financing cycle provided by the Inter-American Development Bank. The purpose is to understand the reason behind social policies having taken that stance after the 2001 crisis, and why they were implemented through financial assistance by international financial institutions. In order to reach that purpose, the article develops an interpretative analysis based on document analysis. This leads to conclude that the participation of the said organization promoted, on the one side, the state apparatus´ reconstruction vis-a-vis the area of social policies to get a steady knowledge about the population, to its focalization; and, on the other side, changed the state interpellation´s type to the social policies receptors in order to regulate them.
