Der vorliegende Band präsentiert in überarbeiteter Form die Referate, die auf der Jahrestagung 1996 des Ausschusses für Sozialpolitik in Ingolstadt vorgetragen wurden. -- In einem ersten grundlegenden Beitrag beschäftigt sich Gert Wagner mit ""Zentralen Aufgaben beim Um- und Ausbau des Sozialstaats"". Er entwickelt seine Vorstellungen auf der Basis des von Rawls konstruierten Paradigmas, bei dem sich vernünftige, risikoaverse Individuen über grundlegende Verfassungsentscheidungen und Direktiven für ein System der sozialen Sicherung hinter dem ""Schleier des Nichtwissens"" einigen. Frank Schulz

The resources of both governments and traditional philanthropy are either barely growing or in decline, yet the problems of poverty, ill-health, and environmental degradation balloon daily. It is therefore increasingly clear that we urgently need new models for financing and promoting social and environmental objectives. Fortunately, a significant revolution appears to be underway on the frontiers of philanthropy and social investing, tapping not only philanthropy, but also private investment capital, and providing at least a partial response to this dilemma. This book examines the new actors

The rapid spread of large-scale and innovative social transfers in the developing world has made a key contribution to the significant reduction in global poverty over the last decade. Explaining how flagship anti-poverty programmes emerged, this book provides the first comprehensive account of the global growth of social assistance transfers in developing countries. Armando Barrientos begins by focusing on the ethical and conceptual foundations of social assistance, and he discusses the justifications for assisting those in poverty. He provides a primer on poverty analysis, and introduces readers to the theory of optimal transfers. He then shifts the focus to practice, and introduces a classification of social assistance programmes to help readers understand the diversity in approaches and design in developing countries. The book concludes with an analysis of the financing and politics of the emerging institutions and of their potential to address global poverty.
