Retshjælpsprojektet er et retssociologisk forskningsprojekt, der undersøger borgernes adgang til hjælp og juridisk bistand. Retshjælpsprojektet bidrager med ny viden ved at inddrage borgernes perspektiv i et hidtil uset omfang, da deres perspektiv på adgang til hjælp og juridisk bistand, herunder retshjælp, er helt centralt for at kunne kortlægge de faktorer, der påvirker borgernes vej til hjælpen

The welfare state, and its development, serves as a common backdrop for the Nordic countries, and has influenced the legal aid schemes in all the countries. As the national reviews show, the schemes have adjusted to common challenges of cost and effectiveness, but failed to fully meet them.
This edited collection provides a comprehensive analysis of the differences and similarities between civil legal aid schemes in the Nordic countries whilst outlining recent legal aid transformations in their respective welfare states.

The transformation of the Eastern European countries from communist states to EU members was supported by massive investments in Western discourses and social science knowledge and export programmes for these from the West to the East. In the West, and specifically in the US, a market for discourses and knowledge production professionalized and intertwined with institutions that exported specific
