Summary

This publication offers students, lecturers and researchers in social work important insights, from a variety of perspectives, into the transformation and development of social work in the SBZ and the early GDR. It is also of value to practitioners working in association management, leadership and organisational development. The aspects discussed – organisational participation and leadership, cooperation and competition, partisanship and partisan co-optation – remain highly significant today, particularly in times of society-wide trends towards the erosion of democracy – and not only for social work.
