Summary

The welfare state in its traditional form seems no longer sustainable. At the Rothenberge Seminar 2004, a joint venture of the School of Business, Public Administration and Technology at the University of Twente, NL, and the Institute of Public Economics at the Westfaelische Wilhelms-University Muenster, D, the reform options for the welfare state as such and in particular for the health care sector were discussed. In addition to that, other topics were touched upon as environmental policy, the urban structure of Germany and the public sector in general.
