English Summary: Democratic social policy is presently being confronted with the authoritarian methods of social policy which evolved in 19th century Western Europe. In this context, the author develops the theory that the relevant social question of today is actually the question of democracy. Against the neoclassical theory of political institutions, Widmaier gives a philosophical and theoretical framework for developing a dialogue. Democracy is seen as a way of life, as a not yet completed project and as a process of discovery in dialogue. For Widmaier, self-organization can be used as a means of learning democratic behaviour. The model drawn up by the author also demonstrates the development of social needs as well as alternatives to a bureaucratic government of social policy. German Description: Hans Peter Widmaier erortert die Demokratie als Lebensform und als Regierungsform, die auf einer Basis des Dialogs beruht. Wie kann das Volk durch eine demokratische Sozialpolitik wieder an Souveranitat gewinnen? Als Antwort entwickelt er ein Modell des Dialogs, das im Gegensatz zu den zahlreichen 'Okonomiken' auf einer positiven Anthropologie und der Integration theoriegeschichtlicher Elemente der Demokratietheorie basiert. Hierzu skizziert er die abendlandische Sonderentwicklung und stellt folgende Deutungen Max Webers gegenuber: einmal die Zweckrationalitat und das 'Teufel-Beelzebub-Dilemma' sowie zum anderen die Determinanten des selektiven Musters gesellschaftlicher Rationalisierung. Hans Peter Widmaier erklart die soziale Frage als zentrales Thema der Demokratie in der Gegenwart. Kritisch setzt er sich mit der Burokratisierung sozialer Prozesse, ihrer historischen Entwicklung, Verrechtlichung und Okonomisierung auseinander. Er analysiert die Neue Politische Okonomie und erortert, ob es Wege aus dem burokratischen 'Gehause der Horigkeit' gibt und sich durch Selbstorganisation Gegenkrafte entfalten konnen. Gemeinschaftshandeln ohne Herrschaftsausubung wird an verschiedenen Logik-Modellen dargestellt. Im Kapitel zur demokratischen Sozialpolitik stellt Hans Peter Widmaier zwei Paradigmen einander gegenuber und formuliert die dialogische Sozialpolitik als Prufstein der Demokratie. Im Rahmen der extensiven und intensiven Radikalisierung des Demokratieprinzips versteht er Demokratie als offenes Projekt und vertritt die These, dass in heutiger Zeit mehr Demokratie gewagt werden muss.

Diese Untersuchung befasst sich mit einer der ganz großen Tendenzen der Geschichte, mit der Herausbildung und der Entwicklung der staatlichen Sozialpolitik. Wann, wie und warum ist die moderne staatliche Sozialpolitik überhaupt entstanden? Wie hat sie sich fortentwickelt und welche Interessen und Auseinandersetzungsprozesse haben diesen Entwicklungsprozess begleitet? Der erste Band untersucht die Ursprünge dieser Entwicklung. Die Analyse der "Bismarckschen Sozialreform" und die Weiterentwicklung dieses Politikbereichs in der Ära des Imperialismus schließen sich an. Sodann werden die Spuren untersucht, die der Erste Weltkrieg in der staatlichen Sozialpolitik hinterlassen hat. "(...) Dem Autor gelingt eine Darstellung früher deutscher Sozialpolitik, die sich sehen lassen kann. (...)" Arbeit, 1/97

Today, "welfare" represents a complex mix of services covering health, education, welfare, the arts, leisure, and social security. Anton C. Zijderveld is of the opinion that Europe's vast, comprehensive welfare state is becoming leaner and meaner, heading down a more sober path toward decentralization and deregulation, which only, but not merely, secures order for its citizens and shields society's vulnerable. As the millennium approaches, Zijderveld believes Europe is experiencing a cultural renaissance and a socioeconomic and political reformation in which the market will flourish and civil society will prosper.

Despite dramatic increases in poverty, unemployment, and social inequalities, the Central and Eastern European transitions from communism to market democracy in the 1990s have been remarkably peaceful. This book proposes a new explanation for this unexpected political quiescence. It shows how reforming governments in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic have been able to prevent massive waves of strikes and protests by the strategic use of welfare state programs such as pensions and unemployment benefits. Divide and Pacify explains how social policies were used to prevent massive job losses with softening labor market policies, or to split up highly aggrieved groups of workers in precarious jobs by sending some of them onto unemployment benefits and many others onto early retirement and disability pensions. From a narrow economic viewpoint, these policies often appeared to be immensely costly or irresponsibly populist. Yet a more inclusive social-scientific perspective can shed new light on these seemingly irrational policies by pointing to deeper political motives and wider sociological consequences.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of social policy in the German Democratic Republic (GDR, 1949-1990), followed by an analysis of the “Social Union”, the transformation of social policy in the process of German unification in 1990. Schmidt’s analysis of the GDR also depicts commonalities and differences between the welfare state in East and West Germany as well as in other East European and Western countries. He concludes that the GDR was unable to cope with the trade-off between ambitious social policy goals and a deteriorating economic performance. Ritter embeds his analysis of the Social Union in a general study of German unification, its international circumstances and its domestic repercussions (1989-1994). He argues that social policy played a pivotal role in German unification, and that there was no alternative to extending the West German welfare state to the East. Ritter, a distinguished historian, bases his contribution on an award-winning study for which he drew on archival sources and interviews with key actors. Schmidt is a distinguished political scientist.

For over three decades, mature European welfare states have been on their way into an austerity phase marked by greater needs and more insecure revenues. A number of reform pressures-including population ageing, unemployment, economic globalization, and increased migration-call into question the economic sustainability and normative underpinnings of transfer systems and public services. And while welfare states long seemed resilient to growing challenges, it now seems clear that they are changing. Election Campaigns and Welfare State Change examines how political leaders and the public respond to reform pressures at a pivotal moment in a mass democracy: the election campaign. Do campaigns facilitate debate and attention to welfare state challenges? Do political parties present citizens with distinct choices as to how challenges might be met? Do leaders prepare citizens for the idea that some solutions may be painful? Do their messages have adaptive consequences for how the public perceives the need for reform? Do citizens adjust their normative support for welfare policies in the process? The answers to these questions affect how we understand welfare state change and representative democracy in an era of mounting challenges.

In the period of State Socialism in Eastern Europe (1945- 1989) Social Welfare was exercised on two levels: The dominant level was the system of governmental Social Policy, because individual and private structures of so - cial help were considered as a dispensable bourgeois tradition. According to this perception, social welfare should include an extensive system of support and social services, although, in reality, special groups of ́ ́asocials ́ ́ and ́ ́parasites ́ ́ were excluded. Although - except for Yugoslavia - social work as a profession was nearly totally eliminated, modulated forms of social care had to be provided, because people like handicapped, elderly or mentally disabled still were in need. There - fore, Social Care was realised on a subordinated level - mostly allocated to proximate vocations or organisations like teachers, nurses and mass organisations. Experts from the respective countries explain what it was like. Countries under scrutiny: Bulgaria, Czechoslowakia, GDR, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Soviet Union, Yugoslavia
