Module content:
BSP-7.1        Lecture
In the lecture we will focus on the essence of the welfare state, which is closely linked to ideas of equality. We will discuss the following topics: the social security system, the connection between work, social security and social integration, the connection between social and educational policy and relevant social policy fields of action (e.g. health policy, family policy, poverty policy). We will analyze the crisis or transformation of the welfare state based on the new social reforms. All analyses will be conducted on a European or international comparative basis. Particular importance will be given to the local level: municipalities as political-administrative units, socio-spatial constructs and their context in civil society; municipal players, fields of action and scope for action, local politics and social work and childhood education
 
BSP-7.2        Introductory seminar
Selected topics from the lecture will be deepened in the introductory seminar.
