The third phase of the CRC sets the keystone in our 12-year research agenda. Phase I mapped and explained the global introduction of social protection programs, which critically involved creating the new Global Welfare State Information System (WeSIS). Phase II mapped and explained variance in the inclusiveness and scope of benefits of social policies across countries and over time. Launched for early access in February 2025, WeSIS constitutes a groundbreaking database for global welfare state research. Phase III will utilize this database to examine the socioeconomic effectiveness of social policy and its impact on political integration.
