Abstract

This article argues that the socio-ecological transformation does not only require to restructure the traditional welfare state architecture but also to renew welfare state objectives and institutions. While compensatory and preventive functions have long been in the foreground, it is now time to expand the transformative component and promote ecological sustainability through the welfare state. Conceptual starting points for the socio-ecological transformation are the core of this article. Trans-Abstract: In diesem Artikel wird argumentiert, dass die sozial-ökologische Transformation nicht nur eine Umstrukturierung der traditionellen Wohlfahrtsstaatsarchitektur erfordert, sondern auch eine Erneuerung der wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Ziele und Institutionen. Während lange Zeit kompensatorische und präventive Funktionen im Vordergrund standen, gewinnt nun die Stärkung der transformativen Funktion und die Förderung der ökologischen Nachhaltigkeit durch den Wohlfahrtsstaat an Bedeutung. Der Artikel fokussiert auf konzeptionelle Ansatzpunkte für die sozial-ökologische Transformation.
