The course describes the main features that are attached to Nordic welfare societies. Special emphasis is on the Finnish welfare society but references to other countries are made. This way the position of the Finnish welfare society in relation to other European countries is made explicit. After the course students will be able:
- to recognise different welfare regimes
- to understand the main features of the Nordic welfare regime
- to point some of the main differences between Nordic welfare societies
Introductory lectures during the intensive programme in Vilnius, afterwards the course continues in Moodle.
Only for students in the Cosopo programme.
