Social Challenge of Development: Globalisation, Inequalities and Social Protection
Annual Call for Projects 2001
Summary
Within the GIAN framework and with its financial support, six institutions have decided to co-operate in an analysis of the effects of globalisation on inequality. This is one of the major questions of our time, at the intersection of politics and economics. The project considers the general impact of globalisation, and also focuses on health, education and social protection.
The Graduate Institute for Development Studies (GIDS) in Geneva, UNRISD (United Nations Research Institute for Social Development) and the Faculty of Economics of the University of Geneva are leading this research and training program. They will work in close co-operation with the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Lausanne, the International Social Security Association (ISSA), Geneva, and the Réalise Association, Geneva, who are also full partners of the programme.
Case studies will be carried out in Vietnam, Bulgaria, South Africa and Mali, as well as in Geneva itself, with the co-operation of local researchers. The teams aim at producing a first set of results and conclusions after 18 months.
The grant provided by the GIAN for this project totals SFr 498,500
