German term or phrase: wohlfahrtsstaatliche Einbettung
Die Beschäftigung mit dem Thema hat aber gezeigt, dass dieser hoffnungsvollen Bedeutungszuschreibung zunächst eine begriffliche Klärung des Ortes zwischen Markt und Staat ***in seiner jeweiligen wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Einbettung*** vorangestellt sein muss.

It's an essay on the third sector (not public not private, i.e. voluntary work, charities, social enterprise etc) It's part of the introduction. The structure of the phrase puzzles me.
