Was kann das Allgemeine Verwaltungsrecht vom Sozialrecht lernen?

Abstract

What can general administrative law learn from social law? The article explains the origins of German social (security) law in its interactions with public economic law and labor law. In current discourses of German public law, social law still appears as a kind of familiar stranger. The article identifies impulses of social law that can contribute to the further development of general administrative law. Topics might be: sources of law, forms of action, cooperation between public and private actors, interdisciplinarity as a problem of applying legal provisions, transitions between legal claims and claims granted by discretionary decisions, administrative organization, government liability.
