The Welfare Society in an International Perspective
Cool title, huh? Anyway, I’m not going to write anything substantial about it but in case any of the negot (sort of business economics plus languagues) students from SDU in Odense (nope, no more commuting to Copenhagen, at least not for the next nine months) drop by, this is the core of the reading list for the spring semester’s course:

- Christopher Pierson and Francis G. Castles (eds), 2006: The Welfare State Reader, 2nd ed. Cambridge: Polity Press.
- Articles and additional material to be announced.
