Workshop at the European Union Center of Excellence
University of Chapel Hill, North Carolina
March 29-30, 2008
NEW: (Feb 26) Data relevant to the workshop have been uploaded along with commentary from John Stephens.
This workshop will bring together scholars who study social policy regimes in Southern Europe and Latin America. We will examine the determinants, nature, and effects of different social policy regimes. The central effects of interest are those on poverty and social exclusion, two problems faced by European and Latin American governments alike.
The workshop will consist of sessions led by experts on social policy in the various countries. We will discuss the work of these experts as well as other studies suggested by them. We will make all the papers available ahead of time, posted on our website, to facilitate informed comparative discussions.
