Küreselleşme, Servet Eşitsizliği ve Demokrasi Üçgeni Üzerine

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ekonomik eşitsizlik araştırmalarında giderek daha çok ilgi çekmeye başlayan servet eşitsizliği olgusuna dair güncel verileri değerlendirmek ve bu olgunun küreselleşmeye ve demokrasinin geleceğine yönelik olumsuz etki ve yansımalarını tartışmaktır. Servet eşitsizliği sorununun gelişmiş “küresel kuzey” ve yükselen “küresel güney” ülkelerinin ortak sorunu olduğu çalışmamızda açıkça vurgulanmaktadır. Gelişmiş ülkeler düzeyinde servet eşitsizliğinin, özellikle ABD bağlamında, çok ciddi boyutlara ulaşması, yükselen ülkeler açısından da Çin'in diğer BRICS ülkelerine göre daha iyi bir konumda olması dikkat çekici bulgular arasında yer almaktadır. Türkiye'nin, Rusya ile birlikte, servet eşitsizliği sorunununen yüksek seviyelerde yaşanan ülkeler arasında yer alması özellikle üzerinde düşünülmesi gereken kaygı verici diğer bir gelişme olarak nitelendirilebilir

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Servet eşitsizliği, Siyasal meşruiyet, Yükselen ekonomiler, Gelişmiş ülkeler, Türkiye

On the Globalization, Wealth Inequality and Democracy Triangle

Öz

Scholars interested in problems of inequality are paying increasing attention to the issue of wealth inequality. The paperattempts to provide a broad picture of trends relating to wealth inequality on a global scale. It attempts to highlight the negative implications of rising wealth inequality for the future of just globalization and democratic development. One of the main findings of the paper is that wealth inequality is an equally serious problem for the "global North" and the "global South". Within the global North, wealth inequality is most serious for the case of the United States, whilst in the context of the global South, China constitutes a clear outlier, with a relatively favorable pattern in terms of wealth inequality. Finally Turkey has experienced serious increases in wealth inequality in recent years and currently occupies the second position in the wealth inequality league table next to Russia, a negative development, requires serious re-thinking about Turkey's current development strategy
