Between Ideology and Economy: The "Time Politics" of Child Care and Public Education in the Two Germanys
The article compares the discourses and policies of the "time politics" of public, that is, institutionalized, extra-familial care and education of pre- and elementary school children in East and West Germany. The FRG and the GDR represented two highly distinct welfare and education systems, which referred to each other in a complex relationship of "distancing and interconnection." Proceeding from the concept of the "path dependency" of societal and political developments, the article analyzes which factors worked together when, how, and in which concrete historical contexts to form specific discourses and policies of the "time politics" in both German states.
