Drei Typen von Familienpolitik / Three Types of Family Politics

Author

  • Habermann Gerd

Abstract

The essay is based on the traditional rivalry between the state claim to sovereignty and the private rights and autonomy of the family. Social constructivism (socialism) seeks essentially to replace the family through the offer of state benefits or public goods. The German welfare state is not this extensive to date, but it does demonstrate a tendency to repress the economic independence and private rights of the family and to assume its function, for example, through state financed support systems. This is in particular the objective of ‘Family Politics’, which manifests itself as bourgeois-conservative or socialist in nature, but in both cases dissipates solidarity and weakens the family. The author appeals - as the third type - for liberal restraint of the state on the matter of the family, which is best served when the state allows it to keep - or returns - its property and responsibility.
