The paper discusses the Mexican case in order to ask if there are important changes in social policy strategy in the new governmental period (2012-2018). The main purpose is to analyze the new programs in order to know if they are still under neoliberal policy framework or if it possible to find a change towards a Post-neoliberal policy framework. The first part analyses the differences between Neoliberal and Post-neoliberal approaches to social policy. The second part discusses the social policy strategy in the 2000-2012 period under PAN government. The third part describes the new programs of social policy that have been recently implemented under the PRI government (2012-2018). The last part discusses the evidence presented in order to know which one is the dominant political framework in current Mexican Social Policy.
