The Handbook of European Welfare Systems
This book provides the first comprehensive information and detailed data on the welfare systems of all twenty-seven EU member states and offers the reader an invaluable introduction and basis for comparative welfare research. The introductory chapter summarizes the actual debate about welfare states and welfare (state) regimes, gives an overview on current welfare (state) research and analyses the main recent developments necessitating a new focus on European Welfare Systems. The twenty-seven chapters on the welfare systems of the member states are written on the basis of a common structure by experts from the individual states. An additional chapter analyses the current social and welfare policies of the EU and focuses on the interplay and limits between European and national social policies. Two concluding chapters provide (a) a first comparative analysis on the basis of all twenty-seven European Welfare Systems and (b) a theoretical reflection both arguing for and venturing the idea of politically limited pluralism in European welfare politics.
Policy Analysis in Germany
This comprehensive study, part of the International Library of Policy Analysis, brings together for the first time a systemic overview of policy analysis activities in Germany. Written by leading experts in the field – including informed practitioners – it outlines the development of the discipline, identifies its role in academic education and research, and examines its styles and methods. The book also focuses on the role of policy analysis for governments and parliaments, for parties, social partners, and interest groups. By offering a rich and timely analysis of policy analysis in Germany, this book is a valuable resource for academic exchange and for teaching, particularly in the fields of political science, social sciences, economics and geography. Moreover, by its broad, comprehensive understanding of ‘policy analysis’, the book will be of practical relevance and shape the debate for the future development of policy analysis in Germany and the different spheres where it is practised.
Social Services between General Interest Orientation and Internal Market Dynamics
The thesis analyses the EU-level policy process on "Social Services of General Interest" over more than a decade. The author identifies the factors that can explain the development and state of play of the EU-level legal, policy and quality frameworks at the end of 2016. He elaborates on relevant theories, concepts and political discourses and looks into the role and initiatives of the EU Member States and the European Commission as the key policymakers. The thesis analyses the reasons and implications for the organisation, provision and financing of social services that stem from the overarching or recalibration of national policy arenas and scopes by the internal market and the EU policy context.
Law and Economics in Europe
This anthology illustrates how law and economics is developing in Europe and what opportunities and problems – both in general and specific legal fields – are associated with this approach within the legal traditions of European countries. The first part illuminates the differences in the development and reception of the economic analysis of law in the American Common Law system and in the continental European Civil Law system. The second part focuses on the different ways of thinking of lawyers and economists, which clash in economic analysis of law. The third part is devoted to legal transplants, which often accompany the reception of law and economics from the United States. Finally, the fourth part focuses on the role economic analysis plays in the law of the European Union. This anthology with its 14 essays from young European legal scholars is an important milestone in establishing a European law and economics culture and tradition.

Grammar and Dialogism
This volume aims at analyzing the relationship between the dialogical accomplishment of spoken talk-in-interaction on the one hand and entrenched patterns of linguistic and socio-cultural knowledge (constructions, frames, and communicative genres) on the other. The contributions analyze linguistic patterns in different languages such as English, French, German, and Swedish. Methodologically, they take up the usage-based position that structural and functional aspects of language use need to be studied empirically and "bottom-up": Since grammatical structure arises as the entrenched result of recurrent language use, its study should start with the local organization of natural talk-in-interac...
Vetospieler in der Policy-Forschung
Das ursprünglich für die vergleichende Demokratieforschung entwickelte Vetospieler-Theorem von George Tsebelis hat auch in die Policy-Forschung Eingang gefunden. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge wenden die Überlegungen Tsebelis’ in Analysen politischer Entscheidungsprozesse in verschiedenen Politikfeldern an und diskutieren theoretische Aspekte des Konzepts. Dabei fragen die Autorinnen und Autoren stets danach, ob und wie das ursprüngliche Konzept Tsebelis' für die Politikfeldanalyse genutzt werden kann, ohne dass durch Ergänzungen und Modifikationen sein Kern verloren geht.

Die Europäisierung der Wohlfahrtsverbände – Eine Strategieanalyse der Diakonie Deutschland
Die Europäische Union nimmt sowohl durch sozialpolitische Vorgaben wie z.B. den Regelungen zur Gleichbehandlung der Geschlechter oder Richtlinien zum Arbeitsschutz, als auch über wettbewerbsrechtliche Vorgaben Einfluss auf die nationale Sozialpolitik. Hervorzuheben ist dabei unter anderem das europäische Beihilferecht, welches jegliche staatliche Finanzierungsformen verbietet, also auch die Befreiung von Steuern wie im Fall des Status der Gemeinnützigkeit. Die zunehmende Relevanz europäischer Entscheidungen auf die soziale Daseinsvorsorge wirft die Frage auf, in(wie)fern nationale Interessenorganisationen bzw. die für Europa zuständigen Einheiten mit einer proaktiven EU-Strategie auftreten und welchen (Strategie-)Problemen sie sich dabei gegenübergestellt sehen. In dieser induktiv angelegten, qualitativen Vergleichsstudie der Diakonie Deutschland und des Paritätischen Gesamtverbands, welche zwei der größten Wohlfahrtsverbände in Deutschland sind, wird dieser Frage auf den Grund gegangen.
