Mit verschiedenen Veranstaltungsformaten möchte der SFB "Globale Entwicklungsdynamiken von Sozialpolitik" neue Erkenntnisse der Sozialpolitikforschung präsentieren und mit der interessierten (Fach-)Öffentlichkeit diskutieren. In der Regel sind diese Veranstaltungen öffentlich.
Die internen Veranstaltungen des SFB 1342 dienen dem Austausch der beteiligten Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler untereinander und der inhaltlichen Arbeit an den Teilprojekten. In unregelmäßiger Folge berichten wir über Ergebnisse dieser internen Veranstaltungen auf der Seite "Aktuelles".

Governments all around Europe responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with massive budgetary expansions. A third wave of Euro-austerity is imminent, however – just like in the first two episodes during the 1990s and after the Great Recession of 2008. Many are already concerned the pandemic will provide a trump card for conservative governments wishing to cutback welfare programs. Does the third episode of Euro-austerity after COVID-19 represent the final nail in the coffin of Europe’s welfare states? Or is this episode yet another ordinary blow these welfare states have grown to survive? I offer comparative historical insights for these hot-button policy questions based on my recent book Euro-Austerity and Welfare States. In the talk, I trace developments in social expenditures and social rights in the first episode of Euro-austerity in the run-up to Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) during the 1990s. I then show how governments reformed welfare states in Belgium, Greece, and Italy – countries where austerity’s impact was expected to be greatest. I close by discussing key takeaways from the politics of welfare state reform during the earlier episodes of Euro-austerity for the final Episode of Euro-austerity looming large after COVID-19.

Human rights based approaches are widely used to address various social and political problems in the field of education, child care, health and social protection. By stipulating an internationally agreed set of norms, human-rights based approaches provide a stronger basis for citizens to make claims on their states and for holding states to account for their duties to enhance the access of their citizens to the realisation of their social, economic and political rights. This presentation is based on ethnographic studies conducted in India, Nepal and Sierra Leone. It shows the role of human rights in re-shaping of education and social policy and makes a particular focus on the impact of these approaches on empowerment of marginalized groups such as ethnic minorities and indigenous women.
