New Social Justice Course: Comparative Government Spending Policies
This interdisciplinary policy course addresses selected issues in some government benefit programs, such as agricultural subsidies, Social Security, parental leave, and Medicare. To enlighten and enrich the discussions of the policy implications of these programs and proposed revisions of them, students will compare them to programs in foreign countries. This course may be of special interest to Public Interest and International Certificate students. Students will write a final paper and make interim policy reports.
Comparative Government Spending Policies should be of interest to public interest and social justice law students because several of the spending programs covered are important to those less advantaged: e.g., medical care, social security, and welfare.
