Currently, families are being subjected to increasing public
attention. Interest is focussing on their potential strengths and
weaknesses in determining how well children do at school. Alongside
such human-development oriented expectations, families are also
becoming a focus of attention as a resource for human capital in
times of economic crises and criticism of the welfare state. In
many European countries, parents and children are at the forefront
of the welfare state and socio-educational activities in current
programs and policies. The current transformation processes in the
welfare state are making the relationship between families and the
state more dynamic in general, and they are structuring the
discourses on the childrearing, education, and child care services
in the fields of both public and private responsibility. The
introduction of all-day schooling in Germany also has to be viewed
in this context. This is gradually changing the traditional
half-day structure of German schools and shifting the borders of
public and private responsibility on the levels of education, child
care, and childrearing institutions. The attention given to
parental childrearing and educational responsibility within the
context of current national and international debates clearly
underlines the fact that issues in private life are increasingly
entering the public discourse and becoming subject to attempts at
socio-political control. This raises the assumption of an
increasing politicization of parenthood in the (post) welfare state
that is focusing more and more attention on the structural
conditions of gainful employment and child care as well as on the
current relations between the genders. This context particularly
emphasizes the time and care regimes that decisively determine the
practices in daily family life and the utilization of all-day
education settings.

Dieser Sammelband widmet sich der Analyse gegenwartiger
Transformationsprozesse Sozialer Arbeit aus unterschiedlichen
theoretischen Blickwinkeln. In den Beitragen wird sich mit
ausgewahlten neuen oder neu thematisierten Begriffen, Konzepten und

Das Buch untersucht die Frage nach der Qualitat personenbezogener
sozialer Dienstleistungen in Deutschland. Es arbeitet
internationale Erfahrungen zu den Strukturproblemen von Qualitat
fur die deutsche Debatte auf. Dabei wird Qualitat auf funf Bereiche
bezogen: auf Sozialpolitik, Regulation, Organisation und
