Summary

The present work is the authoritative study of German social policy, set in a multidisciplinary and international context. Germany pioneered modern social policy in the 19th century when Bismarck introduced social insurance. After the Second World War, Germany#xE2;#xAC;"s Social Market Economy became a model of social integration. Five contributions of book length investigate the history and the current state of social policy in Germany, covering ideas and institutions, legal history, constitutional law, the German Democratic Republic and the impact of German reunification in 1990. A further contribution embeds the German case in a major comparative study of European welfare states, identifying idiosyncratic national traditions. The publication brings out the contribution of the German tradition to the rise of social policy in the Western world in the 19th and 20th centuries. The authors are the doyens of their respective disciplines.
