Objectives and competences:

The course addresses the complexity and diversity of the phenomenon of transnationalization of social protection in the context of migration and analyses the emergence of a hybrid transnational welfare regime, whose actors can include the state (immigration and/or emigration), the market, the family, and/or the third sector. It provides insight into strategies for ensuring social security in migration contexts across various fields and levels.

Upon completion of the course, students will:

• understand the concept and significance of the transnationalization of social protection
• be able to identify and analyse the actors and forms of social protection in diverse contexts
• understand and critically assess the strategies through which migrants and non-mobile individuals combine multiple sources of social protection
• be familiar with the basic functioning of welfare state regimes both within and beyond national borders
• understand the role of the market, transnational families, and civil society in providing social protection in the context of migration
• be able to identify and analyse the hybrid nature of transnational social protection through concrete examples

Intended learning outcomes:

• Understanding and explanation of key concepts and theories
• Ability to critically analyse academic and non-academic sources of information
• Ability to apply theoretical frameworks to real-world cases
• Ability to evaluate different perspectives and construct evidence-based arguments
• Conducting independent research using appropriate methods
• Participation in group discussions and effective presentation of one’s own arguments
