GOVT 48 Redistribution, Inequality, and Diversity

This course examines the comparative politics of redistribution within Europe and North America. In the first half of the course, we will focus on understanding public attitudes towards redistribution and will explore cross-national variation in inequality and redistributive policy. In the second part of the course, we will grapple with the political sustainability of the welfare state. In particular, we will examine the degree to which racial and ethnic diversity poses a challenge to redistributive policy.
