- Course Outline
Over the past decade(s) we have seen a rise in social inequality in many countries around the
world, among them many rich and developed OECD countries. In this course we will discuss the
causes of rising income inequality and poverty, but also the repercussions of these phenomena
for the political system. We start out by defining what poverty is, and how income inequality
can be measured. Then we take a closer look at how social inequality has developed over time
in various OECD countries, but we will discuss these issues also on a global scale. During
the later stages of the course we then investigate how income inequality effects the political
representation of various groups, among them the poor, in the policy making process. The
course should enable students to make informed arguments about inequality and poverty, but
also enable them to increase their research skills and their ability to write scientific papers.
