The Third Sector and the Changing Welfare State

Sosyal politika uygulamalannın toplumsal cinsiyet açısından analizi feminist literatürün üzerinde durduğu önemli konulardan biridir. Yakın zamanda yapılan çalışmalar refah devletini toplumsal cinsiyet açısından sorgulamakta ve farklı ülkelerdeki benzerliklerin ve farklıhklann anlaşılmasında değerli analitik araçlar sunmaktadır. Bu çerçevede refah yardımlannın toplumsal cinsiyet ilişkilerini nasıl şekillendirdiği önem kazanmaktadır. Ancak refah rejimleri çahşmalanndaki temel yaklaşım bu boyutu dışlamaktadır. Rejim çahşmalannda metasızlaştırmanın sadece sosyal haklar çerçevesinde tanımlanması ve toplumsal cinsiyet boyutunun analize dahil edilmemesi feminist literatürün temel eleştirileri arasındadır. Refah devleti sisteminin gelişmediği ülkelerde üçüncü sektör toplumsal cinsiyet boyutu taşıyan önemli bir refah kaynağı olarak gelişmektedir. Bu makalede Esping-Andersen'in yaklaşımı toplumsal cinsiyet açısından ele alınırken üçüncü sektörün önemine değinilmektedir.

Üçüncü Sektör ve Değişen Refah Devleti

The analysis of social policy practices from the point of gender is one of the important subjects in feminist literature. Recent studies have investigated the welfare state with respect to gender issues and provided valuable analytical tools in understanding the differences and the similarities in different countries. In this context, how the welfare subsidies shape the gender relations is of grave importance. However the mainstream welfare regime studies exclud this dimension, hi the regime studies, the description of de-commodification in the context of social rights and the exclusion of gender are among the main critiques of feminist literature. hi the countries where the welfare state is not developed enough, the third sector has been growing as a source of welfare, which has important outcomes from a gender perspective, hi this article, while Esping-Andersen's approach is analyzed from the point of gender, the importance of the third sector is touched upon.
