Abstract

To examine patterns of social assistance provision specific to particular provinces, Boychuk develops a five-fold typology consisting of "residual," "market/family enforcement," "market performance," "conservative," and "redistributive" models. He uses this typology to compare development of assistance provision in the provinces, provincial responses to federal initiatives, and unique trajectories of assistance regimes. He concludes by surveying some of the broader implications of his findings for issues such as the development of national standards and the impact of globalization on social assistance provision in Canada. Patchworks of Purpose is an important book for students of social assistance and social policy as well as for scholars interested in Canadian public policy, Canadian federalism, and Canadian politics in general.

Abstract

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.
