Welfare Pluralism and Quangos in the United Kingdom

Year 2019, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 402 - 412, 30.09.2019

Abstract

In the United Kingdom,
the Quangos (quasi-autonomous non-governmental organizations) are called
non-governmental, semi-independent non-governmental organizations. Quangos,
also known as non-departmental public bodies (NDPB), have major roles in
welfare services. The exsistence of quangos, has recently become an important
issue of political debate; definitions, the abundance of numbers,
controllability and accountability were discussed. Britain was described as a
liberal welfare state in Esping Andersen's classification of welfare regimes.
Although the Quangos' presence strengthens this thesis, it shows that welfare
pluralism is adopted in the UK and that a mixed welfare regime is maintained.
In this respect, the United Kingdom is called as quango state by some authors.
The main thesis of this article is that a mixed welfare regime is maintained in
the United Kingdom and an important example of this is the quangos. In this
study, the concept of welfare pluralism, which is rarely mentioned in the
Turkish literature, is examined and discussed the role of quangos in public
administration, an important indicator of welfare pluralism in the United
Kingdom.

Refah Çoğulculuğu ve Birleşik Krallık’ta Quangolar

Year 2019, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 402 - 412, 30.09.2019

Abstract

Birleşik Krallık’ta
Quangolar (quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisatisons) yarı
bağımsız-hükümet dışı sivil toplum kuruluşları olarak adlandırılmaktadır.
Quangolar diğer bir adı ile bakanlık dışı kamu örgütleri (NDPB)
(Non-Departmental Public Bodies), diğer kamu hizmetlerinin sunumunda olduğu
gibi refah hizmetlerinin sunumunda da önemli rollere sahiptirler. Quangoların
varlıkları, son dönemlerde politik tartışmaların önemli bir meselesi haline
gelmiş; tanımları, sayılarının çokluğu, denetlenebilirlikleri ve hesap
verebilirlikleri tartışma konusu olmuştur. Birleşik Krallık, Esping Andersen’in
refah rejimleri sınıflandırmasında liberal refah devleti olarak
nitelendirilmiştir. Quangoların varlıkları, bu tezi güçlendirse de Birleşik
Krallık’ta refah çoğulculuğunun benimsendiğini göstermektedir. Birleşik
Krallık, bu bakımdan kimi yazarlar tarafından “quango devleti” olarak
adlandırılmaktadır. Bu makalenin temel tezi, Birleşik Krallık’ta karma bir
refah rejimi sürdürüldüğü ve bunun önemli bir örneğini quangoların
oluşturduğudur. Çalışmada Türkçe literatürde az değinilen refah çoğulculuğu
kavramı irdelenmiş ve Birleşik Krallık’ta refah çoğulculuğunun önemli bir
örneğini oluşturan quangoların kamu yönetimi içerisindeki tartışılan rolleri
ele alınmıştır.
