Introduction
This short essay introduces the forum on ‛Women's Rights as Human Rights: Global Contestations over the Longue Durée’. It briefly outlines the state of the field, a new agenda for research in the area and the topics of the articles in the forum. The forum derives from a symposium on the same topic sponsored by Gender & History and held at the University of Sheffield in spring 2022
Jürgen Schmidt. August Bebel
With a life spanning from 1840 to 1913, August Bebel, the longtime leader of Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), witnessed the dramatic transformation of the German lands. He saw Germany’s transition from a set of disparate states in an era of revolution and reaction to a powerful force within Europe on the brink of war. Bebel’s Germany was constantly torn between reform and repression. With its policy on universal manhood suffrage, it was a…
Comparison and the Welfare State in Modern Europe, c. 1880–1945
Romantic relationships across boundaries
In response to the mass globalization of the twenty-first century and associated migration, a recent boom in social-scientific research has analyzed various manifestations of ‘binational’, interreligious and interracial romantic relationships in the present and recent past. This special issue seeks to historicize this research by drawing on key case studies from around the world and across time and building on relevant historiography and theoreti…
From faith to race? ‘Mixed marriage’ and the politics of difference in Imperial Germany
Intermarriage was a key site for testing politics of difference within the multicultural German Empire. Across the German states in the mid-nineteenth century, marriage between members of different religions frequently proved impossible. Until various civil marriage laws were introduced between the 1840s and 1870s, marriage remained within the remit of the church. As a consequence, marrying across confessional lines was rarely permitted. The impl…
The First Modern Risk
During the late nineteenth century, many countries across Europe adopted national legislation that required employers to compensate workers injured or killed in accidents at work. These laws suggested that the risk of accidents was inherent to work and not due to individual negligence. By focusing on Britain, Germany, and Italy during this time, Julia Moses demonstrates how these laws reflected a major transformation in thinking about the nature …
Verwaltung für den Sozialstaat—Sozialstaat durch Verwaltung? Die Arbeits- und Sozialverwaltung als politisches Problemlösungsinstrument in der Weimarer Republik, by Julia Alexandra Luttenberger
Since the nineteenth century, Germany has often been seen as the ‘land of work’, and work has been integral to German national identity. Julia Alexandra Luttenberger suggests that this was one of the reasons why the governance of the labour market—and, especially, the question of gainful labour (Erwerbsarbeit), based on the sale of one’s labour power—has been a key goal in central government in Germany. The author focuses on the origins and imple…
Social Citizenship and Social Rights in an Age of Extremes
This article demonstrates how T. H. Marshall's conceptualization of sociology—its subject, key questions and methodology—was embedded within broader moments in twentieth-century political history, including two world wars, the economic crisis of the interwar era, the onset of the Cold War and the rise of decolonization. In doing so, it brings intellectual history and the history of academic disciplines (particularly sociology) together with more …
The Passionate Economist
The epilogue to this excellent book states that the author sought to write both a biography and a more general history, and this is what her book offers. It is a sensitive depiction of the LSE economist Brian Abel-Smith (1926–96), a complex, intelligent and elegant man. However, the book also covers the majority of the twentieth century and offers a fascinating portrayal of the intersection between policy-making, expert circles operating in and a…
Introduction
According to the sociologists Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens, modern societies have become increasingly preoccupied with the future and safety and have mobilized themselves in order to manage systematically what they have perceived as “risks” (Beck 1992; Giddens 1991). This special section investigates how conceptions of risk evolved in Europe over the course of the twentieth century by focusing on the creation and evolution of social policy. Th…
La (re)découverte du risque professionnel
Cet article examine les relations entre les évolutions épistémiques en matière de droit, de probabilité et de responsabilité individuelle et les évolutions à la fois technologique et disciplinaire qui marquent la seconde moitié du XIX e siècle : de nouvelles approches juridiques et scientifiques du « risque professionnel » émergent en Europe, en lien avec les expériences croisées d'un changement économique, social et juridique d'une part et, d'au…
A Decent Provision
At first glance, the history of Australian welfare policy seems a rather niche field. It rarely features in comparative studies of the welfare state and only occasionally crops up in typological surveys of the various ‘worlds’, ‘families’ and ‘regimes’ of social policy. When it makes an appearance in these master narratives of taxonomical development, Australia is usually overshadowed by its two big brothers in that house of ‘liberal’ welfare sta…
Soziale Sicherungssysteme und demographische Wechsellagen
In 1972, West Germany confronted a difficult reality: according to the most recent census, its population had begun to decline. By 1990, the birth-rate in newly re-unified Germany averaged only a child and a half per woman. Not only was the rate of reproduction decreasing, it had dropped dramatically since the height of the post-war baby boom (p. 14). In this light, the ‘birth gap’ haunted policy-makers and popular discourse alike for the remaind…

Foreign Workers and the Emergence of Minimum International Standards for the Compensation of Workplace Accidents, 1880–1914
Foreign Workers and the Emergence of Minimum International Standards for the Compensation of Workplace Accidents, 1880–1914 This essay examines the politics behind creating international norms for the compensation of workplace accidents in the period from the 1880s to the outbreak of the First World War. It focuses on a case study about the treatment of foreign workers in Britain, Germany and Italy in order to illuminate these developments. One o…
