A founder of contemporary social science, Max Weber was born in
Germany in 1864. At his death 56 years later, he was nationally
known for his scholarly and political writings, but it was the
international reception of his oeuvre over the last forty years
that has made him world-famous. "The Protestant Ethic and the
Spirit of Capitalism," "The Economic Ethics of the World Religions"
and his magnum opus, "Economy and Society," with its treatment of
the relations of economics, politics, law and religion, belong to
the great achievements of 20th-century social science. The
groundwork for the posthumous Weber reception was laid by Weber's
widow Marianne, a well-known feminist writer, who followed up her
edition of his collected works with one of the greatest biographies
in a generation that produced many important accounts of itself.
Although unavailable in English until a decade ago, the importance
of Marianne Weber's 1926 work had been widely understood.
Sociologist Robert A. Nisbet called it "a moving and deeply felt
biographical memoir." Historian Gerhard Masur cited the book as
"the foundation of all further inquiries into Max Weber's life and
influence." Beginning with Max's ancestry and early years, Marianne
Weber guides us through his life as student, young lawyer, scholar
and political writer, quoting liberally from his voluminous
correspondence. Her account of his nervous breakdown after 1897,
which curtailed his academic career but ultimately strengthened his
creative energies, provides deep insight into some of the personal
tensions that troubled him to the end. In addition to her
perceptive personal and intellectual life before the First World
War, describing many scholars, social reformers, politicians and
literary figures within and beyond the famous Heidelberg circle of
the Webers. The new introduction by Guenther Roth situates Marianne
Weber's own role in the contemporary setting and discusses the
current state of Weber research and of the international Weber
reception.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Entscheidungen zu Bildungsverl
ufen als Ergebnisse eines organisationalen Verhandlungsprozesses
untersucht. Von der Organisation erhobene Bildungsstatistiken
werden einer Re-Analyse unterzogen. Dieses Vorgehen erlaubt zwar
nicht, den Prozess der Entscheidungskommunikation selbst zu
rekonstruieren, sondern kann nur von den Effekten ausgehen. Durch
das Aufzeigen von Unterschieden in der Bildungsbeteiligung k nnen
Zusammenh nge und Strukturen der Entscheidungskommunikation
explorativ analysiert werden. Die empirisch vorfindbaren
Bildungsentscheidungen der einzelnen Grundschulen werden
untereinander im Kontext eines lokalen Schulsystems vergleichbar.
