Abstract: During the last two decades, Latin America has experienced a renewed debate on social protection; nevertheless, it has been focused on the national protection systems and on the instruments of public policies. Though qualitative field work in the cities of El Alto in Bolivia and Rosario in Argentina, we show the relevance and diversity of the practices of protection within popular economy, based on different types of solidarity at the local level. We propose a critical theoretical interpretation of these practices, based on a re-reading of the Polanyian concept of principle of economic integration taking into account the vulnerabilities created by both the market and social structures and the possibility of oppressive forms of protection.
