This dissertation includes three papers proposing each a distinct framework to assess the politics of targeting and its relationship with electoral behavior. In the first paper I argue that targeting can and should be evaluated independently from program results and provide a set of tools to do so. This paper adds to the literature by offering a structure to the multiple elements of the targeting process, and by proposing a framework to evaluate targeting design independently from, and interdependent with, program results. The second paper then assesses the extent to which targeted social transfers motivate political loyalty in rural areas, utilizing highly disaggregated data from the Mexican cash transfer program Progresa-Oportunidades-Prospera and electoral behavior of rural voters over two decades. I first observe whether parties targeted benefits to loyal and quasi-loyal voters, and then assess if beneficiaries were more likely to support the party that enrolled them even when that party was no longer in power, measuring the extent to which partisan loyalty perdured overtime. I find evidence of strategic enrollment within the program's guidelines that ensured beneficiaries' long-term loyalty towards PRI and eventually generated support for PAN; and a programmatic distribution of benefits that potentially enabled cash transfer recipients to vote for their true preference.Finally, the third paper concerns itself with the question of who votes, and who can vote. While there is significant literature on voting behavior, little is written on the determinants of voter registration. Using municipal-level data from the Mexican State of Jalisco, I investigate the correlates of voter registration. Overall, the likelihood of registering is strongly correlated with lower levels of education and lack of access to public services. Yet these same variables are negatively correlated with electoral participation. These findings suggest a "voting gap" that could be explained by lessened mobilization of the poor.KEY WORDS: Latin American politics, Mexican politics, elections, political behavior, voting behavior, representation, electoral systems, social programs, policy evaluation, targeting.
