Research
Welfare and social service
The theme comprises research on welfare policy seen from various perspectives with emphasis on legitimacy and the effects of different policies including their legal effects. The approach is comparative within a Nordic frame of reference. Current research focuses on the legitimacy of welfare systems among elites and citizens, the legitimacy and effects of different interventions meant to increase the integration of unemployed people and immigrants, and on the legal protection of clients targeted by active social policy measures.
