Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, The World Health Organization‘s Drive for Universal Health Coverage in Egypt and Morocco(2026)While the World Health Organization’s (WHO) role in global health is well-documented, there is a notable gap in research regarding its influence on domestic health policy in Lower-Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This paper, therefore, explores the WHO’s impact on advancing the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region given its heterogeneity in regard to income levels and social policies’ development. Specifically, it examines the degree of alignment between the WHO’s recommendations and the health reforms implemented in Egypt and Morocco from 2010 to 2022, a timeframe shaped by major regional and global shifts, including the Arab Spring and the WHO’s expanding UHC agenda. The findings uncover a medium degree of alignment with WHO recommendations in both countries, despite their distinct socio-economic and political profiles. However, the study shows variations in how these countries tackled key UHC dimensions—social coverage, service expansion, financial protection, in addition to health system strengthening. Understanding this variability is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of WHO’s influence on national health policies besides highlighting the diverse paths LMICs take in striving for UHC.BuchBand:003344 13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Advancing data infrastructures on democratic representation: an open-source version of ParlGov(2025)This research note presents an open-source version of the ParlGov website and discusses the state of cross-national data on parties, elections, and cabinets. The ParlGov project is a prominent political science data infrastructure with information for EU and OECD democracies since 1900. The data has been publicly available since 2010. ParlGov is an example of a new type of data infrastructure in political science that uses modern software tools, collaborative data collection, and open data principles. In this research note, I introduce a new open-source software of ParlGov that demonstrates how modern software practices enhance the accessibility, transparency, and reliability of political science data. In addition, I assess the contribution of the ParlGov project to advances in comparative political data collection by comparing it with four key datasets on elections and cabinets (EJPR-PDY, PPEG, V-Party, and PAGED). I emphasize the importance and benefits of open science principles, arguing that their full potential has yet to be realized in political science. By adhering to open science principles, ParlGov provides a reference point for future data projects aiming to increase the availability and interoperability of research data in political science.BuchBand:32262 118 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Ukraine’s Social Policy Response to Covid-19: A Quick but Fragmented Approach(2021-03)This report reviews Ukraine’s social policy response to the Covid-19 pandemic between March and September 2020. In mid-March the government decided on a lockdown, which lasted until the end of May. Simultaneously, the government and parliament approved mitigating measures to support vulnerable groups, which were expected to suffer due to the resulting economic downturn. The decisions were largely fragmented and primarily directed to supporting business and the labour market. Education institutions went into a remote working regime in mid-March, which resulted in inequality of access to education due to the digital divide. Health personnel received top-ups to their wages, but only if they have been working in the secondary level of the healthcare system. Most mitigation measures were financed from the budgetary Fund for Combatting Covid-19, which was actually largely directed towards financing road construction. In summer, the quarantine measures were loosened, and adaptive quarantine was introduced. The supporting measures mostly evaporated as the government faced budget constraints and the economy was recovering more quickly than initially expected.BerichtBand:24297 211 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Peru’s Social Policy Response to Covid-19: Jeopardizing Old-Age Security(2021-02)Peru has one of the highest number of deaths proportional to its population and a severely hit economy, even though it was one of the first countries to implement strict social distancing measures and an ambitious plan for fiscal stimulus and economic relief for households. The response of the state was mostly based on (i) various cash transfers for the most vulnerable; (ii) policies to activate the economy such as a program to guarantee loans to firms; and (iii) allowing withdrawals from individual pension pots. Unfortunately, a combination of low financial inclusion, deficiencies in registers and structural limitations compromised the effectiveness of the social transfers, reaching recipients late or never. Furthermore, depleting pension funds may ease liquidity concerns in the short run, but the negative consequences on securing a pension for the future are immense. Worse, individuals who are not experiencing hardship can also make these withdrawals. Other countries, like Chile, have followed, paving the way for a dangerous trend that can jeopardize old-age security.BerichtBand:11294 109 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Education policy in Senegal: global transformation processes, IOs’ influence and cultural spheres(2024)This paper gives a historical perspective of the Senegalese education system and how different global transformations, namely French colonization, the impact of Islam as a cultural sphere and the influence of International Organizations, have affected the inclusiveness and scope of services of the states' policies on education. The author argues that although the impact of the French colonization is extremely apparent, Senegal is slowly finding its way into building a Senegalese schooling system that reflects the realities of the different communities more than before, through inclusion of local languages in the curriculum, and modernizing Islamic schools to reach more students, thus increasing the inclusiveness and scope of services provided to cover a larger population.BerichtBand:43193 108 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Zimbabwe’s Social Policy Response to Covid-19: Temporary Food Relief and Cash Transfers(2021-03); Zimbabwe’s social policy response to Covid-19 unfolded in a context of enduring socioeconomic and political crises. Its main instruments were temporary food relief and cash transfers, though it also included healthcare measures, an economic stimulus package, pension benefits, and “cushioning allowances”. The expansion of food relief and cash transfers was based on existing social protection programmes, and beneficiaries were, at least in theory determined through means-testing and targeting. Local and international civil society organisations supported the government’s response. While the breadth and timing of Zimbabwe’s social policy response are noteworthy, it remained largely inadequate and temporary.BerichtBand:23522 374 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Mexico’s Social Policy Response to Covid-19: A Path of Minimal Action(2021-01)This report offers an analysis of the Mexican federal government’s social policy response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The report provides an overview of developments in six policy areas where change associated with the pandemic can be observed: healthcare, pensions, family benefits, education, the labour market and housing. This analysis across policy areas shows that the Mexican government’s response does not correspond to the dimensions of the crisis. Apart from healthcare, few new specific measures have been introduced. The government has largely decided to respond to the pandemic with the group of new programmes created during 2019, as a result of an overhaul of the country’s social policy. However, the potential of those programmes to deal with the pandemic’s effects could well be limited, since it is not even clear yet if they represent cases of welfare expansion or retrenchment compared to previous programmes. At the same time, proposals from civil society and opposition parties to introduce comprehensive basic income schemes have been ignored. If the path of minimal action is not rectified, grim social, economic and political consequences await Mexican society in the foreseeable future.BerichtBand:5331 344 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Taiwan’s Social Policy Response to Covid-19: Protecting Workers, Reviving the Economy(2020-12); Taiwan has benefited from her timely response to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, which has limited the extent of economic and social damage the virus could have inflicted. Unlike many countries, economic activities and social lives in Taiwan have remained above water; and have shown signs of rebounding in recent months. Past experiences with public health crises such as SARS have offered valuable lessons for the government to cope with similar pandemic threats. Effective countermeasures have created favourable circumstances for the government to deploy social policy as a safety net. Almost all the major responses are of a temporary nature, and a programmatic extension of the existing social security institutions (e.g., social assistance and specific in-cash benefits targeted at specific occupational or population groups). In addition, the government granted financial support to those enterprises in difficulties to disincentivize them from dismissing their employees. All these measures have largely offset the adverse consequences of the pandemic crisis. Against this backdrop, Taiwan should be amongst those countries to recover first from the pandemic shock.BerichtBand:1300 188
