POLSC 424 - Inequality and Social Policy


Credits: 4
An examination of the politics of social policy in advanced industrial democracies. Focusing on questions of economic and gender inequality,  we study the main components of welfare states in the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and the United States. We examine fundamental differences in social policy, the consequences of diverging welfare regimes, sustainability of welfare policies, and popular support for welfare states across countries.
