- The course is basically structured in two parts. The first one starts from the concepts of welfare, wellbeing and social risk using the three ideal-typical modalities for social protection (social assistance, social insurance and social security), the different models and the three welfare state regimes typologies. Moreover, the course includes the analysis of the main concepts of welfare mix and their main characteristics. A specific focus regards the new phase of welfare: the new social risks are developed in according to current economics and social crisis, exploring some possible solutions provided by subsidiary welfare, according with the welfare state.
