Betsy Leimbigler
Kommentar
The course will link the challenges facing the American welfare state with international norms related to global health and the advancement of human rights, highlighting the concept of the “globalized world” with readings on global health, political and social determinants to health, and empirical studies. One main focus of this course is to give an in-depth analysis of the health care system in the United States within the welfare state, in comparison with other nations and in the context of global institutions. At the same time, the course will strengthen students' methodologies and critical perspectives in political science. By first examining the broader international ideas, ideals and theories underpinning welfare states, we look at the development and problematization of welfare and health care in the US. This includes the political, racial and rights-related movements to advance health care. Welfare state studies also have a focus on language, and the discursive devices and framing of issues to the broader public. Students will be able to gain a better understanding of a variety of methods used to analyze problems in social sciences, including policy analysis and issue framing. Overall, the course will link global, institutional norms and domestic welfare policies, giving students a deeper theoretical and methodological understanding of the welfare state. Schließen
