Comparative Perspectives on Childcare Expansion in Germany: Explaining the Persistent East‒West Divide
Germany’s family policy responded to the European Union’s Barcelona targets by expanding publicly funded childcare, especially for children under the age of three, throughout the country. While overall nearly 33 per cent of all children in that age group had access to public childcare by 2015, there is still a large difference between the situation in the eastern and the western part of the country. This paper documents and explains this developm…

Federalism and Decentralization in German Health and Social Care Policy
In Germany, regional and local jurisdictions are the place where in many policy fields administrative resources are located, and where the relevant organizational actors – both public and private – implement social policies (Banting and Corbett 2002). Decision-making about benefits and beneficiaries as well as social policy financing, however, tend to be highly centralized. Subnational (Länder-) governments have strong participation rights in suc…
Political Competition and Unequal Social Rights
Major social reforms affect the extent to which social rights are granted widely and equally or selectively and in a manner re-enforcing social stratification. Thus, they affect the amount of institutionally sanctioned inequality in a welfare state. This paper seeks to explain the politics of making decisions about unequal social rights. It emphasizes the importance of studying the substantive contents of the policy changes that are on the reform…

Introduction: Change and continuity in recent family policies
Families have become a focal point in debates of ‘new risks’ and much needed ‘new policies’ for Western welfare states. Family policy responses to the new challenges and even the goals associated with welfare policies designed to aid families have, however, varied across countries, and there is much uncertainty about the sources of this variation and the future development of the policy field. This special issue takes stock of recent developments…
The Organization of Health Policy Functions in the German Federal Government
This article gives an account of the organizational history of the German federal ministry of health (and its predecessors) since the beginnings of public policy intervention in health care. In doing so it analyses the role of ministerial organization and examines the functional and political rationale underlying acts of reorganizing the tasks and resources of federal ministries. This analysis has two sides: the first concerns the expressive func…
