Das deutsche Kaiserreich in Europa

In this volume the author studies the rise and development of the German social state up to 1914 in a European context. She asks what the conditions were that led to the development of a social democracy, the actual administrative practices and the fundamental repercussions for the nation of installing social insurance. She also touches on the particular situation of women and the role of healthcare politics. This study show that the German social state was an outgrowth of the existing social practices, and that its rise was part of an overall development throughout Europe.
