                            <p>İnsanlar için gerekli olan sosyal ve ekonomik kaynaklar dünya genelinde yeterli miktarda bulunmasına rağmen bu kaynakların dağılımında eşitsizliklerin ve adaletsizliklerin ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir. Özellikle 1980 sonrasında ekonomik büyüme ve verimlilik üzerine yoğunlaşan ve bu kaynakların yeniden dağıtımına yönelik politikaları zayıflatan neoliberal politikalar ve küreselleşme süreci yoksulluğun ve gelir dağılımı eşitsizlerinin artmasına yol açmaktadır. Bunu serbest piyasa ekonomisini ve özel mülkiyet ilişkilerini olumsuz etkileyerek gerçekleştirmektedir. Burada temel problem, kaynakların belirli kesimlerde yoğunlaşması ve diğer kesimlerin dezavantajına olacak şekilde eşitsizliklerin derinleşmesidir. Sosyoekonomik eşitsizliklere sebep olan gelir dağımı eşitsizliği ve yoksulluk sorunlarının önlenmesi için uygulanan politikalar sosyal adalet düşüncesi kapsamında yer almaktadır. Bu bağlamda İsveç sosyal adalet politikaları, sosyoekonomik eşitsizliklerin ve bu eşitsizlikleri azaltmayı amaçlayan sosyal adalet anlayışının bir bütün olarak somutlaşması ve değerlendirme imkanı sunması açısından dikkat çekici bir inceleme alanı olarak karşımıza çeıkmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, gelir dağılımı eşitsizliği ve yoksulluk gibi sosyo-ekonomik sorunları önlemeyi amaçlayan &quot;sosyal adalet&quot; kavramının ve bu yöndeki politikaların gelişmiş ülkelerdeki etkinliğini İsveç örneği üzerinden tarihsel ve karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirmektir. Çalışmada, İsveç sosyal adalet politikalarının sosyoekonomik eşitsizlikler üzerinde etkili olup olmadığının anlaşılabilmesini sağlamak ve uygulanan politikalar hakkında somut sonuçlara ulaşabilmek amacıyla OECD ve Eurostat verileri baz alınarak İsveç, Almanya ve İngiltere arasında karşılaştırmalı bir analiz yapılmaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>

Neoliberal policies and the globalisation process, which have focused on economic growth and productivity especially after 1980 and weakened the policies for the redistribution of these resources, lead to an increase in poverty and income inequalities. It does this by negatively affecting the free market economy and private property relations. The main problem here is the concentration of resources in certain segments and the deepening of inequalities to the disadvantage of other segments. The policies implemented to prevent income inequality and poverty, which cause socio-economic inequalities, are within the scope of the idea of social justice. In this context, Swedish social justice policies are a remarkable area of investigation in terms of the concretisation and evaluation of socioeconomic inequalities and the social justice approach aiming to reduce these inequalities as a whole. The aim of this study is to evaluate the concept of ‘social justice’, which aims to prevent socio-economic problems such as income inequality and poverty, and the effectiveness of policies in this direction in developed countries historically and comparatively through the example of Sweden. In the study, a comparative analysis is made between Sweden, Germany and the UK based on OECD and Eurostat data in order to understand whether Swedish social justice policies are effective on socioeconomic inequalities and to reach concrete conclusions about the policies implemented.</p></abstract>
