Der Zugang zu frühkindlicher Bildung, Betreuung und Erziehung bildet seit mehreren Jahren Ausgangspunkt unterschiedlicher (sozial)politischer Maßnahmen, um gesellschaftlichen Ungleichheitsverhältnissen entgegenzutreten. In den vergangenen Jahren rückte dabei die lokale Steuerungsebene als zentraler Akteur in der Gestaltung frühkindlicher Bildungsangebote zunehmend in den Blick der Forschung. Der vorliegende Beitrag schließt hier an und fragt in einer international vergleichend angelegten Studie danach, ob und wie lokales Steuerungsgeschehen in dezentral organisierten Betreuungssystemen (un)gleiche Zugangsbedingungen hervorbringt. Ausgehend von einer governance-analytischen Perspektive bilden die Grundlage der Studie qualitative Interviews aus Fallstudien in drei Kommunen in Deutschland, Kanada und Schweden, die inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Handlungsspielräume der Kommunalverwaltungen durch vorgegebene Regelungen und strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen definiert werden. In der Angebotsausgestaltung vor Ort setzen die Kommunen allerdings unterschiedliche Prioritäten, die jeweils ungleiche Zugänge fördern (können).... view less

Access to early childhood education and care has become the starting point of various (social) policy measures in order to tackle social inequalities. In recent years, research has increasingly focused on the local steering level as key actor to implement access. This paper explores local steering processes by taking an international perspective. It is investigated whether and how local steering (may) contribute to (un)equal access conditions in decentralised ECEC systems. Based on the concept of governance, qualitative interviews with local stakeholders were conducted in three municipalities in Germany, Canada and Sweden. The interviews of the case studies have been assessed by content analysis. Results show that discretion of local authorities is defined by regulations and structural framework conditions. However, the municipalities pursue different priorities in organising local services, which (may) foster unequal access.... view less
