This course introduces students to the study of social policy in comparative perspective. It begins by laying out a range of methods and theoretical approaches used for comparative policy analysis, encouraging a critical appreciation of the advantages and challenges of comparisons in policy analyses. It then shifts to consider various key actors and institutions that shape social policy in diverse contexts, before concluding with a closer examination of several policy areas of international and global significance, including poverty, conflict, and migration. This course takes an explicitly international approach to the study of comparative social policy, drawing on conceptual approaches and illustrative policy examples that cut across traditional boundaries between the Global North and South.
