Global Social Regulation in the Face of Adversity

Friday, 20 July 2018: 08:30-10:20
Location: 715A (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC19 Sociology of Poverty, Social Welfare and Social Policy (host committee)

Language: English

Based on the recent perception of a retreat from globalization to protectionism, combined with an older concern about social standards in global movements of people, goods and services, this panel is focused on the development of social regulation as a form of global social policy.  Papers will address current challenges, conceptual meanings, political projects, and global governance constellations. The papers for this panel relate to regulation in different policy fields (such as development, migration, labour, taxation), and their implications for social regulation. We discuss both the bright and the dark sides of global social regulation. All papers refer to examples from the Asian region, and address issues of decent work, health policy, taxation and others at multiple levels of policy making.
