Die Diskussionen um das wissenschaftliche und theoretische Selbstverständnis der Sozialpädagogik erwecken aktuell den Anschein, die Sozialpädagogik unterläge einem Theorie-Dilemma.Ziel des Bandes ist es, die Vielfalt an Theorien der Sozialpädagogik einer kritischen Bestandsaufnahme zu unterziehen, zu diskutieren und zu systematisieren, um so das potentielle Theorie-Dilemma innerhalb der Sozialpädagogik aufzulösen und neue, innovative Wege für eine im Wesentlichen an pädagogischen Dimensionen orientierte Theorie der Sozialpädagogik aufzuzeigen.
