“…To do so, they focussed on different mechanisms based on NPM theory and principles, aimed at implementing the legislative mandate efficiently and economically by means of policies to enhance the population's QoL (Gudrais, 2009). Some of these mechanisms involve various forms of decentralisation, which in the 1980s became popular in many countries as a means of achieving a wide range of objectives, including social participation in political stability (Dutta, 2009), income redistribution for greater equality and improved QoL (Gupta, 2004) and overcoming the "state failure" (Zapf, 1984) caused by an inefficient public sector.…”

“…This enables us to conceive of them all from a common perspective. To this end, we follow Zapf (1984) in suggesting the term welfare-production. This encompasses all individual services that arise through transferable sources, regardless of who performs them.…”

The understanding of welfare states hitherto suffers from characteristic biases – national, political and disciplinary. This paper proposes a generalized framework for international comparative research, which remains as neutral as possible to such biases. The guarantee of social rights for everybody and the issue of societal reproduction are taken as reference points to define the political criteria for social welfare. However, politics and social policies remain a partial aspect of the production of welfare in a given society. A theory of the welfare state has to take into account the interactions among household production, market production and associative forms of welfare production, on the one side, and of political interventions on the other.

“…Fraser und honneth (2003) haben gegen eine allein auf ungleichverteilung und umverteilung fokussierende ungleichheitsbetrachtung -unmittelbar anknüpfend an heterogenitäten als Ausgangspunkt der ungleichheitsgenese -die Anerkennung kultureller Verschiedenheit und daran anknüpfend die gesellschaftlichen Partizipationschancen als wichtige Kriterien hervorgehoben. Umfassendere Systematisierungen sind bereits von der Wohlfahrtsforschung lebensbereichsbezogen (Zapf 1984) sowie der Theorie der sozialen Produktionsfunktionen in Form instrumenteller Zwischenziele (Ormel et al 1999) vorgeschlagen worden.…”

Zusammenfassung: die einzelnen Felder der ungleichheitsforschung wie die bildungs-oder Mobilitätsforschung sind theoretisch wie empirisch leistungsfähig und haben eine Reihe speziellerer untersuchungen zu verschiedenen ungleichheitsaspekten auf hohem theoretischem und methodischem niveau hervorgebracht. damit geht jedoch eine thematische und theoretische Zersplitterung der ungleichheitsforschung in mehrere kaum miteinander kommunizierende Forschungslinien einher. darüber hinaus gibt es keine umfassenden bestandsaufnahmen, die die empirischen befunde zu ungleichheitsentwicklungen bündeln würden. die sozialwissenschaftliche ungleichheitsforschung bedarf deshalb einer konzeptuellen Reorientierung. entsprechende Versuche sollten die erheblichen theoretischen und methodischen Fortschritte der ungleichheitsforschung in den spezialisierten Forschungsfeldern wie bildung, Arbeitsmarkt, gerechtigkeit, Migration oder gender nutzen. der in diesem beitrag dazu unterbreitete Vorschlag ruht auf zwei Pfeilern: erstens der konsequenten unterscheidung zwischen heterogenitäten und ungleichheiten und zweitens dem Versuch, die sozialen Mechanismen zu identifizieren und zu systematisieren, die aus bloßen heterogenitäten soziale ungleichheiten entstehen lassen. Wir benennen heterogenitäten als Ausgangspunkt und ungleichheiten als endpunkt der Mechanismen. beispielhaft bieten Ansätze des "boundary making" Anknüpfungspunkte für das skizzierte Programm. Schlüsselwörter: Soziale ungleichheit · heterogenität · Soziale Mechanismen From heterogeneities to inequalities: Social mechanisms in the genesis of social inequalitiesAbstract: Various fields of research on social inequality, such as studies in education and social mobility, pursue sophisticated theoretical and methodological approaches and have produced a wealth of relevant empirical findings on specific aspects. Nonetheless, research on social inequalities is nowadays extremely fragmented along theoretical, conceptual and methodological lines berlin J Soziol (2011) 21:91-114 92 M. diewald und T. Faist across which there is little communication and cross-fertilization. There are no comprehensive accounts which would bundle the numerous empirical findings. Therefore, inequality research in the social sciences needs to be conceptually reoriented. Towards that end we have to take advantage of the significant theoretical and methodological advances in the different fields, such as education, labor markets, justice, migration and gender. Our programmatic contribution rests on two pillars. First, we go beyond the conflation of heterogeneities and inequalities and draw a clear conceptual distinction where both terms are always used in plural forms. Second, we identify and systematize social mechanisms. The concept of social mechanism helps to track the genesis of inequalities out of heterogeneities. In this way heterogeneities constitute the point of departure and inequalities the outcome of a social mechanismic approach. Social mechanisms can be fruitfully connected to approaches such as boun...
