“…Para Stolleis (2013), teria sido a admissão desses novos cidadãos políticos a pressionar para que o sistema de seguridade desenvolvesse capacidade maior de equalização. Se o sistema de seguridade social bismarckiano fora marcado pelo estigma advindo de tempos ainda muito anteriores, de assistencialismo aos pobres, era difícil para ex-veteranos, ex-membros da classe média e empregados não operários se verem dependentes do Estado, em particular quando os benefícios sociais mantinham as condições econômicas niveladas em patamar muito baixo.…”

Um pouco mais que uma introdução Há cem anos o Tratado de Versalhes (1919) colocava fim à Grande Guerra (1914-1918), com todo o ônus recaindo nas costas da Alemanha, entendida como responsável pela manutenção do conflito muito além do necessário, com grandes custos para todos os países envolvidos. Esses custos, ainda que em um primeiro momento sejamos levados a pensar nas vidas perdidas, foi também financeiro, econômico e político. A Primeira Guerra Mundial terminou com os países vencedores europeus, particularmente

“…3 Nevertheless, one can say that modern social security in Germany is still based on the reforms Bismarck 4 began in 1881 with the establishment of social insurance for workers of industrial industry. 5 The first social security law was the Occupational Accident Insurance Act of 1884. The competent funds soon began, on the basis of this law, to provide medical services as quickly as possible -from 1890 onwards in accident hospitals.…”

“…Ever since Bismarck’s creation of the social insurance system in the 1880s, the German welfare state has been marked by a division between two substantially different administrative logics: the provision of social services and social assistance for the neediest members of society as the responsibility of local governments, and the management of “standard life risks” by national social-insurance bodies. Governments at the federal and state levels have refrained from direct involvement in the administration of social benefits and services, confining themselves to policy formulation, some fiscal involvement, and legal oversight (Schmidt, 1998; Stolleis, 2012). Whereas local governments integrate services into their multipurpose portfolio, the social insurances are run by single-purpose bodies with a considerable degree of autonomy from the federal bureaucracy.…”

With the introduction of quasimarket principles in the mid-1990s, the German social service sector faced several challenges from above (the state), within (the organizations), and outside (new competitors and "players"). Within the social services, considerable differences prevail between subsectors; although all reforms have been oriented at the principle of (quasi)markets, the governance arrangements implemented have been rather divergent across subfields. This article compares the effects of the introduction of quasimarket principles in two subfields with very different governance architectures: youth welfare and old-age care. Basic findings include different degrees and variants of hybridity at the meso-level of local welfare arrangements as well as at the micro-level of the organizations in the field. The analysis shows a considerable effect of different governance regimes on the openness of the subfields to new competitors (profit-oriented and voluntary), the reactions of established third sector organizations (internal reforms and hybridization), and the modes of political steering (with varying degrees of informality and oversight).
