After the “socialist revolution” in 1977, the Seychelles introduced a universal social pension, free education and free health care.

Die Energiewende in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (1974-2017) – Reform, Revolution, oder Restauration? : Makroperspektive auf einen Dauerkonflikt

Neukirch, Mario

In: sozialpolitik.ch, 2018, vol. 1, no. 1, p. Article: 1.3

The timespan of the analysis will be divided in three phases. In the first phases of discursive confrontation, a grassroots coalition is...
