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.
