The following paper aims to analyze the origins and development of the conditionalities mechanism in the Argentinean social policies, which had place before the creation of the "Asignación Universal por Hijo para Protección Social". The conditionalities will be defined as the link between a cash transfer and the requirement of comply with certain behaviors related to health and education practices; in the context of "non-contributory policies. The beneficiaries of the behavior are the children and the responsible adults. The empirical references of this study will be seven initiatives among, legislative projects, popular proposals, pilot test and policies, all implemented between 1997 y 2008. For each of them, the following issues will be considered: the diagnosis that led to the adoption of the conditionalities; the functions attributed to them, the actors involved and the background on which they are based. The analysis will show that the conditionalities are present in policies that imply very diverse views about the receptors and about the motivation for their action.

Keywords : Conditionalities; Conditional cash transfer program; Political economy; Rigths and obligations; Human capital; Co- responsibility.
