Ausgehend von der These des "Legitimationsverlustes" des Sozialstaates untersucht diese Studie anhand repräsentativer Umfragedaten die Einstellungen der Bürger gegenüber dem Deutschen Wohlfahrtsstaat. Für welche Bereiche soll er nach ihrer Ansicht verantwortlich sein, sollen mehr oder weniger Ressourcen investiert werden, ist eine entsprechende Finanzierungsbereitschaft gegeben, wie werden die relevanten Institutionen, Programme und Akteure wahrgenommen, und wie wird schließlich der Grad der Zielerreichung beurteilt? Ziel ist eine Analyse der zentralen sozialstrukturellen Konfliktlinien in der bundesrepublikanischen Bevölkerung.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Politik - Politisches System Deutschlands, Note: 2,3, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist ein demokratischer und sozialer Bundesstaat“. So steht es in Artikel 20 Absatz 1 des Grundgesetzes und ist unwiderruflich. Doch wieviel Sozialstaat ist angesichts steigender Kosten, bedingt durch eine langanhaltende Wirtschaftsflaute sowie demografischen Wandel, und einer globalen Änderung der Weltwirtschaft heute noch zu tragen? Der Sozialstaat, wie er heute existiert und die Erwartungen in der Bevölkerung nach sozialer Gerechtigkeit befriedigen muss, ist in den frühen sechziger Jahren manifestiert worden, als Deutschland mit einem Anteil an Sozialausgaben im Gesamthaushalt von fast 56 Prozent weltweit unangefochten an der Spitze lag (Castles 2004: 73). Die wirtschaftliche Lage Deutschlands in diesem Zeitraum lies eine solche Staatsgenerösität auch zu. Eine prosperierende Wirtschaft und eine recht junge Bevölkerung erlaubten den Ausbau eines dichten sozialen Netzes wie wir es heute kennen (Bäcker 2001: 43f). Nun lag die Zahl für Sozialausgaben im Jahr 2005 bei 52 Prozent gemessen am Staatshaushalt des Bundes, also nur unwesentlich unter dem Anteil aus dem Jahr 1960 (siehe www.bda-online.de:). Unstreitbar jedoch haben sich die Vorzeichen, wie oben kurz angedeutet und Castles ausführt, spätestens Mitte der achtziger Jahre nachhaltig geändert (Castles 2004: 7f). Doch blieben die Aufwendungen des Bundes für soziale Sicherung, wie die Zahl aus dem Jahr 2005 verdeutlicht, nahezu konstant. Aus diesem Grund scheint mir oben aufgeworfene Frage dringender denn je und dieser Essay versucht nun anhand einiger Beispiele zu verdeutlichen, dass der Wohlfahrtsstaat Deutschland unter einem gewaltigen Reformdruck steht und das Reformen auch ein höheres Maß an Selbstvorsorge durch den Bürger fordern dürfen, ja müssen, wenn wir den Bestand des Sozialstaates auch für unsere Kinder und Enkelkinder garantieren wollen. Im Verlauf des Essays werden also keine Sanierungstheorien angeboten, die den Anspruch auf eine endgültige Lösung erheben, es soll lediglich die Tatsache bewusst werden, dass das Sozialsystem, wie es heute existiert, auf Dauer nicht mehr finanzierbar ist.

While social welfare programs, often inspired by international organizations, are spreading throughout the world, the more far-reaching notion of governmental responsibility for the basic well-being of all members of a political society is not, although it remains a feature of Europe and the former British Commonwealth. The welfare state in the European sense is not simply an administrative arrangement of various measures of social protection but a political project embedded in distinct cultural traditions. Offering the first accessible account in English of the historical development of the European idea of the welfare state, this book reviews the intellectual foundations which underpinned the road towards the European welfare state, formulates some basic concepts for its understanding, and highlights the differences in the underlying structural and philosophical conditions between continental Europe and the English-speaking world.

The book traces the political history of the concept of social policy. „Social policy“ originated in Germany in the mid 19th century as a scholarly term that made a career in politics. The term became more prominent only after World War II. Kaufmann, the doyen of the sociology of social policy in Germany, argues that „social policy“ responds to the modern disjunction between “state” and “society” diagnosed by the German philosopher Hegel. Hegel’s disciple Lorenz von Stein saw social policy as a means to pacify the capitalist class conflict. After World War II, social policy expanded in an unprecedented way, changing its character in the process. Social policy turned from class politics into a policy for the whole population, with new concepts – like "social security", "redistribution" and "quality of life" - and new overarching formulas, "social market economy" and "social state" (the German version of “welfare state”). Both formulas have remained indeterminate and contested, indicating the inherent openness of the idea of the “social”.

The Oxford Handbook of the Welfare State is the authoritative and definitive guide to the contemporary welfare state. In a volume consisting of nearly fifty newly-written chapters, a broad range of the world's leading scholars offer a comprehensive account of everything one needs to know about the modern welfare state. The book is divided into eight sections. It opens with three chapters that evaluate the philosophical case for (and against) the welfare state. Surveys of the welfare state 's history and of the approaches taken to its study are followed by four extended sections, running to some thirty-five chapters in all, which offer a comprehensive and in-depth survey of our current state of knowledge across the whole range of issues that the welfare state embraces. The first of these sections looks at inputs and actors (including the roles of parties, unions, and employers), the impact of gender and religion, patterns of migration and a changing public opinion, the role of international organisations and the impact of globalisation. The next two sections cover policy inputs (in areas such as pensions, health care, disability, care of the elderly, unemployment, and labour market activation) and their outcomes (in terms of inequality and poverty, macroeconomic performance, and retrenchment). The seventh section consists of seven chapters which survey welfare state experience around the globe (and not just within the OECD). Two final chapters consider questions about the global future of the welfare state. The individual chapters of the Handbook are written in an informed but accessible way by leading researchers in their respective fields giving the reader an excellent and truly up-to-date knowledge of the area under discussion. Taken together, they constitute a comprehensive compendium of all that is best in contemporary welfare state research and a unique guide to what is happening now in this most crucial and contested area of social and political development.

Most advanced democracies are currently experiencing accelerated population ageing, which fundamentally changes not just their demographic composition; it can also be expected to have far-reaching political and policy consequences. This volume brings together an expert set of scholars from Europe and North America to investigate generational politics and public policies within an approach explicitly focusing on comparative political science. This theoretically unified text examines changing electoral policy demands due to demographic ageing, and features analysis of USA, UK, Japan, Germany, Italy and all major EU countries. As the first sustained political science analysis of population ageing, this monograph examines both sides of the debate. It examines the actions of the state against the interests of a growing elderly voting bloc to safeguard fiscal viability, and looks at highly-topical responses such as pension cuts and increasing retirement age. It also examines the rise of ‘grey parties’, and asks what, if anything, makes such pensioner parties persist over time, in the first ever analysis of the emergence of pensioner parties in Europe. Ageing Populations in Post-Industrial Democracies will be of interest to students and scholars of European politics, and to those studying electoral and social policy reform.

The welfare state is a trademark of the European social model. An extensive set of social and institutional actors provides protection against common risks, offering economic support in periods of hardship and ensuring access to care and services. Welfare policies define a set of social rights and address common vulnerabilities to protect citizens from market uncertainties. But over recent decades, European welfare states have undergone profound restructuring and recalibration. This book analyzes people's attitudes toward welfare policies across Europe, and offers a novel comparison with the United States. Occupied with normative orientations toward the redistribution of resources and public policies aimed at ameliorating adverse conditions, the book focuses on the interplay between individual welfare attitudes and behavior, institutional contexts, and structural variables. It provides essential input into the comparative study of welfare state attitudes and offers critical insights into the public legitimacy of welfare state reform.

Germany and Britain are two major European economies that have been trying to confront the challenges of globalisation in very different ways. Britain has favoured market liberal strategies; Germany has endeavoured to retain its tradition of consensualism and the strong welfare state. Focusing on the period since 1997/8, this book explores the controversies and struggles surrounding the agendas of social, economic, and political modernisation in the two countries. The New Labour governments in Britain and the Social Democratic coalition governments in Germany have been introducing a range of reform policies designed to reform the welfare state and increase the respective country's competitiveness in the global market. In both countries, however, these policies have triggered societal resistance. The governing parties had to confront electoral setbacks, an exodus of party members, strains on the relationship with traditional political allies, and an increasingly alienated public. Within this context, this book focuses on the tensions between two key parameters in contemporary modernisation discourses: economic efficiency and democratic renewal. Political elites in many European countries are presenting the achievement of efficiency gains as a primary objective of globalisation-induced societal reform. At the same time civic empowerment and the engagement of civil society are widely regarded as essential for increasing the quality, legitimacy, and effectiveness of public policy making. But can these two goals be achieved at the same time? What exactly does the highly contested term efficiency imply? What is its relationship towards the equally ambiguous goal of democratic renewal? Focusing on a variety of political actors, structures and strategies in Germany and Britain, the individual chapters in this book trace how the tensions between economic efficiency and democratic renewal surface, how definitional struggles surrounding these ideals are being managed, and how new syntheses between the two parameters are being forged.
