The research topic covers the ever-changing concept of social citizenship and its impact on the development of social protection systems and, through them, on access to rights and goods. After clarifying the theoretical issues, the candidate seeks to identify the characteristic features of the concept(s) of social citizenship in the country(ies) under study and the underlying concept(s) of state and citizenship through (re-)analysis of policy documents and legislation and interviews with social policy actors and subjects. A further question of the research may be whether a correlation can be established between the concept(s) of citizenship under study and the development of the social protection system(s) and the depth of institutionalisation of social rights. The research will help to understand how a society''s view of social citizenship influences the functioning of the social protection system and its changes, and how changes in the social protection system affect the institutionalisation and acceptance of social citizenship in that society.
