Dear Sir / Madam, We would like to invite you to our upcoming event in the International Seminar series of the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research: On *Thu 12.11.2020, 10:00 - 11:30 CET* *Dr Rafael Labanino (Department of Politics and Public Administration, University of Konstanz)** ***Title: *No country for the unemployed - The political economy of unemployment insurance and pensions in Central and Eastern Europe** * He will present his recent work on the political economy of unemployment insurance and pensions in Central and Eastern Europe. Using a political institutionalist framework and based on a new comparative qualitative dataset of economic and social policy reforms, the Liberalisation Dataset 1973-2013, he will outline a critical cases analysis that meticulously follows the politics of unemployment and pension reform processes in Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia and Poland. The author will discuss how in a relatively short period, political decisions made at a critical juncture in history can lock in distinctive policy pathways in the long run.
