Annotation

The course is designed to deepen understanding of the policy process with emphasis on the role of political parties and the context of the welfare state. Political parties are considered as crucial elements in policy-making related to the welfare state. They could be viewed as collective actors in party systems as well as organisations or arenas where different welfare options and strategies are negotiated. The course is based on the reading and critical analysis of essential contributions to this field of study and students are encouraged to link theoretical findings to contemporary practice of the welfare state policy-making in their countries.
