Neoliberal Küreselleşme, Değişen Sosyal Politikalar ve Yoksulluk Sorunsalı Üzerine Bir Tartışma

Abstract

In this study, the transformation and appearance of the poverty problem and social policies through the historical process in the projection of neoliberal globalization have been analyzed. In this context, the discussion has primarily dealt with the industrial revolution, in which the poverty problem deepened, and the controversial intellection of the welfare state in this period. Then, in the grip of neoliberal globalization that dominates the stage of history; new poverty and social policies have constituted the focus of the discussion. Although the historical background of the phenomenon of poverty and social policy has a long history, the study has been analysed on the basis of the industrial revolution and subsequent periods, where its visibility has become clear. With the industrial revolution, the poverty problem and social policies have become more evident than in any other period of the history. Changes in poverty and social policy perception have also been with globalization and rising neoliberal policies after the industrial revolution. Finally, the rise of the consumer society with neoliberal globalization has led to new discussions over the social policy and the poor. In this context, Keynesian welfare state policies and criticisms developed against the market economy risks of the industrial revolution will be discussed through sub-themes. This study aims to discuss the poverty problem from multiple perspectives within the framework of these basic dynamics.
