This seminar focuses at global dimensions of social policy making with a particular focus on the activities and advice by international organisations dealing with, and influencing, national social policy. After an introduction into concepts and approaches to social policy, and the links between globalisation and social policy, we look at key international organisations in the field (ILO, WHO and OECD), and different social policy fields (pension system, health system, labour market policy).
The seminar will be comprised of a mix between preparatory materials (readings, videos, recorded lectures) and sessions with lecture, group work and discussion elements.
A very good command of English is necessary as all literature, lectures, presentations and discussions will be held in English. Literature and other material will be made available in LernraumPlus.
