Abstract
»Die Entwicklung von Wehrpflicht, Militär und Wohlfahrtsstaat: Eine Einführung«. This paper discusses several possible causal mechanisms through which conscription and military interests might have shaped the development of western welfare states in the age of industrialized mass warfare. Relevant factors are military concerns about the quantity and quality of the population, the necessity to enhance legitimacy and to secure mass loyalty in times of war and military threat, and a growing pressure to compensate the ‘blood tax’ imposed by the draft with civic and social rights after the end of war.
[endentwicklung von wehrpflight, Militär und Wohlfahrtsstaat: Eine einfhrung]。本文讨论了几个可能的因果机制,通过这些机制,征兵和军事利益可能塑造了工业化大规模战争时代西方福利国家的发展。相关因素包括军队对人口数量和质量的担忧,在战争和军事威胁时期提高合法性和确保群众忠诚的必要性,以及在战争结束后以公民和社会权利补偿征兵所带来的“血税”的日益增长的压力。
