Descriptif

The aim of the course is to provide students with a clear idea of the diversity of European welfare systems, of their political background, and to allow for the assessment of their performance. The course will also provide an in-depth account of current welfare reforms, in the perspective of their historical development. The social science analysis concepts (de-/re-commodification, path dependency...) will also be used in order to understand the issues at stake in recent debates concerning the welfare state and the trajectories of their reforms. Emphasis will particularly be given to a political economy approach, particularly utilizing concepts emerging from the Varieties of Capitalism approach.
