No other nation provides its foundations with so much autonomy and freedom of action as does the United States.

As David Hammack and Helmut Anheier note in this volume, "Americans have criticized foundations for... their alleged conservatism, liberalism, elitism, radicalism, devotion to religious tradition, hostility to religion —in short, for commitments to causes whose significance can be measured, in part, by the controversies they provoke. Americans have also criticized foundations for ineffectiveness and even foolishness." Their size alone conveys some sense of the significance of American foundations, whose assets amounted to over \$530 billion in 2008 despite a dramatic decline of almost 22 percent in the previous year. And in 2008 foundation grants totaled over \$45 billion. But what roles have foundations actually played over time, and what distinctive roles do they fill today? How have they shaped American society, how much difference do they make? What roles are foundations likely to play in the future?

With the inherently incomplete regulation of global finance on the one hand and the evident dearth of civil society institutions on the other, a central governance question emerges: under what conditions could civil society help to recapture the financial system by embedding it in a wider social and economic policy, and thereby reversing the erosion of confidence in market capitalism and liberal democracy? For this purpose, this article proposes the systematic development of a transnational civil society infrastructure in terms of organizational capacity and expertise for accountability enforcement, policy review, performance oversight and advocacy. The goal of this infrastructure is to fill the institutional void and form a counterveiling force against the unchecked might of global finance.}, language = {en} } @article{Anheier2012, author = {Anheier, Helmut K.}, title = {Zivilgesellschaft und Krisen: Dahrendorf'sche Reflektionen}, series = {Leviathan.

Both countries are CMEs with similar institutions, but their training regimes differ in important ways. The paper first maps the similarities and differences in the training regimes in both countries and then turns to three questions that frame the analysis of these similarities and differences. First, how have skills regimes adjusted to changes in economic and employment structure, such as de-industrialization and the rise of the service economy? Second, how much does the structure and adaptability of the raining regime help to explain the relative success of the Dutch employment miracle? Does the Dutch training regime represent successful institutional adaptation to changed economic circumstances? Conversely, does the inflexibility of the training regime contribute to the German employment malaise?

The changes were addressed from two perspectives. On the one hand, Peter Hall's concept of three different types of changes in policy - change in levels of existing instruments, changes to the instruments themselves, and changes in policy goals, has been employed, and a conclusion reached that there has been a paradigmatic shift: policy goals themselves changed. Family welfare and reconciliation of work and family life became legitimate policy goals. The other approach was to look at the changes from the perspective of gendered welfare state discussions, and ask the question in what way has the character of the UK gendered welfare state changed - specifically concerning state support for a different division of care and paid labour between men and women? The preliminary conclusion is that new UK policies make a beginning commitment in this respect but fall short of effectively encouraging major change: they do facilitate the reconciliation of work and family for women, but still provide moderate to weak levels of support for the involvement of men in child-rearing.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Ante2008, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Ante, Christine}, title = {Pension policy reforms in Germany}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-698}, year = {2008}, abstract = {This paper states that German pension policies have taken a new path. After describing the major characteristics of the German post-war pension system, the paper will analyse the major reforms since 1989 and the way they changed and challenged the main characteristics of the pension system.

Firstly it will argue that the way of decision-making changed: the role of the social partners and of inter-party consensus-building diminished; the actors' constellation became more pluralistic. Secondly, policy change will be discussed in light of Peter Hall's concept, concluding that a policy paradigm change took place - incrementally.
