1 PADM5228/SOCI 5805F Rianne Mahon Fall 2007 Loeb A 817 Mondays: Office Hours: 11:30-2:30 Monday 12-2:00 or by appointment COMPARING WELFARE STATES Course Overview: Building on the major theoretical contributions to the comparative study of welfare regimes, the course explores important contemporary social policy debates. While the main focus will be on OECD countries, some consideration will also be given to social policy in the global south. Focusing on comparative analyses of welfare regimes i.e. the complex ways states, markets, families and non-profit agencies together work to deal with social risks, the course explores the variable ways in which modern states work to mitigate the play of market forces and social relations based on class, gender and/or ethnicity, in order to achieve greater equality or other social goals. How do these previously constituted differences among welfare regimes affect the way they grapple with contemporary challenges? What role do ideas play in the process of change? Is globalisation forcing all welfare regimes into a (neo)liberal mold, with a minimalist social policy, or do different types of regime respond to the challenges associated with globalisation in different ways? Is the national welfare state being hollowed out by, on the one hand, the development of regional associations like the European Union, and, on the other, decentralisation of responsibility to local governments and agencies? Is globalisation the core challenge or do its effects pale by comparison with changes to the economic structure ( postindustrialism ) and the (dual-earner) family? Have differences among welfare regimes given rise to different post-industrial trajectories and do these differences affect the relative capacity of welfare states to shift the burden of caring to families and/or the non-profit sector? Does the current interest in the shift from passive to active measures reflect a shift from welfare entitlement to mandatory workfare? Required Readings: The required readings for the first week have been placed on reserve at the main library. Most of the other readings can be accessed online via Carleton library s electronic journal database. Websites for a few are listed and I will post several others on our course site. I have ordered a course pack at Allegra on Bank near Sunnyside for the remaining readings. Assignments and Grading:

2 2 The course follows a seminar format, with students expected to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned readings. Students will occasionally be asked to initiate discussion of one or more of these readings, identifying the key issues for discussion and reflecting on the arguments made in ways that bring out the connection to readings and themes discussed in previous classes as well as those assigned for that week. It is important to try to situate any particular text, and the issues it raises, as a development of the broader themes that run through, and define, this course. As you can assume that the other participants have read the material, you should keep your initial presentation to no more than 10 minutes. Seminar participation is worth 25 percent of your final grade. No one will be penalised for being on the quiet side but informed and inspired participation on a regular basis and incisive presentations of the readings you have been assigned, could help raise your final grade. You are required to write an essay of approximately pages (double-spaced, normal font size), which is worth 75 percent of your final grade. It is due 14 December. I do accept late papers but an extension must be requested in advance. I will mark papers that come in very late when I can get to them and, under those circumstances, am under no obligation to provide comments. The essay should engage with the theoretical debates explored in this course but may do so by way of a more empirically oriented research paper - or, better yet, a research proposal. That is, as it is often difficult to do sufficient empirical work in one term, you can do an initial exploration of the terrain, and based on this, develop a proposal for further study. I expect to see an engagement with at least some of the literature dealt with in this course as well as material you have found through your own research. The list of supplementary readings for each week is provided to help get you started. It is important, however, to consult with me early on your topic. A grade of B or B+ normally indicates that you have shown an adequate understanding of, and some ability to work with, theory and concepts pertinent to this course. A grade of A- to A normally is given on papers in which students have demonstrated an ability to begin to use concepts to develop their own analyses. A grade of A+ suggests that you have produced a publishable (with modest revisions!) piece of work. It is rarely awarded. A grade of less than B- is a failure. It is given when the paper reflects a poor grasp of theory, an inability to develop a coherent argument and/or poor research skills. Plagiarisation will be treated as a serious offence and dealt with according to procedures authorised by the University. Course Schedule Week 1 - Introduction (10 September) Note I have asked Emre Uckardesler to hand out the course outlines for me and give a brief explanation of the course as I am attending the 2007 RC 19 conference on social policy. I will be at class on the 17 th of September and am happy to respond to questions by between now and then. My address is prmahon@rogers.com. You might also like to check out the conference site as I am using a number of pieces from the conference as required or

3 3 recommended extra readings and you may find other papers of interest to you. The site is Week 2 - Comparing Welfare Regimes: The Dominant Approach and its Roots (17 September) Note: Esping-Andersen s typology of modern welfare states has become the focal point for much comparative work. It takes its inspiration from the classic works of Marshall and Titmuss but fuses these with lessons drawn from the work of Scandinavian power resource theory, most closely identified with the work of Walter Korpi - cf. The Working Class in Welfare Capitalism (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1978) and The Democratic Class Struggle (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1983). If you are interested in reading more about power resource theory and its critics, I would be happy to supply a list of additional readings. An initial assessment of the relevance of Esping- Andersen s work to studies of the Canadian welfare state appeared in a special issue of the Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology 26: See especially the essays by John Myles, Introduction: Understanding Canada - comparative political economy perspectives and Julia S.

(24 September) Questions have been raised as to whether Esping-Andersen s three welfare regimes can account for the differences among Western European and North American welfare states, let along the social policy regimes that have developed in other parts of the world. This set of reading introduces you to these debates and provides additional references for those interested in social policy regimes that arguably fit uneasily, if at all, into his typology. * Maurizio Ferrera, The Four Social Europe s : Between Universalism and Selectivity in i, M.
