Social Policies and the Welfare State in the Global South (19th-20th Century)
The conference aims at stimulating the debate on the history and the interconnectedness of social policies in the 19th and 20th century. Why and how ideas and models of welfare travelled across the globe, and why and how actors took an interest in the topic and assumed an active part in this process form the core interests of this conference. It focuses on the Global South and aims at revealing both the diversity of policy fields and of the actors involved.
