(*)Students develop an in-depth understanding of the overall architecture of supranational social policy-making. This includes the focus on the European Unions, other regional international institutions, as well as global social policy actors such as private foundations or international financial institutions. This class is usually organized around a thematic focus on a specific policy field, such as health governance, migration, active labor market policy, etc. Students will learn to identify key international organizations and elements of global governance in the policy field, analyze the capacities, limitations, and scope for reform of the organizations, and analyze concrete global social policies and actions. At the end of the course, students are familiar with key actors in the global policy landscape and have developed the skills necessary to research, analyze, and evaluate social policy in specific fields, and thereby understand global social policy.
