Documentation of the 26th Bremer Universitäts-Gespräche (Bremer University-Talks) has been published.

The discussions of academics as well as economic, social and political representatives on “Die Zukunft des Sozialstaates” (The Future of the Welfare State) are now publicly available in a documented way.

Frank Nullmeier and Herbert Obinger, both professors at the Centre for Social Policy Research (ZeS) at the University of Bremen, were in charge for the scientific coordination of the 26th Bremer Universitäts-Gespräche in November 2013.

Six keynote speeches allowed controversial discussions on: effects and impacts of the financial and Euro crises on social policy, new and old inequalities as well as the ‘social investment state’ as one way out.

The documentation contains contributions by Klaus Armingeon, Werner Eichhorst, Armin Schäfer, Waltraut Schelkle, Friedrich Breyer, Rita Nikolai, Marius R. Busemeyer and Heiko Staroßom.

The documentation “Die Zukunft des Sozialstaates“ (only in German) is now available at the publishing company.
