Examples of research interests/projects contain regulations of the category “unaccompanied children”, cartographic approaches to the intersection between migration law and social law, and constructions of “human smuggling” through court negotiations.
Welfare Law or Social Law
Sometimes Welfare Law is referred to as Social Law. Here at Linköping University we use the term Welfare Law.
