Neoliberalizm ve Mali Disiplin: Küresel Kriz Sonrası İçin Bir Deneme

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı 2008 küresel finansal kriz sonrasında uygulanan mali disiplin politikalarının neoliberalizmle ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma, neoliberal politikaların küresel finansal krizin erken zamanlarında çeşitli eleştirilere uğradığını, ancak mali disiplin politikaları ile tekrar başat bir konuma geldiğini iddia etmektedir. AB çevre ülkelerinde uygulanan mali disiplin politikaları dikkate alındığında, bu politikaların neoliberal mantıkla doğrudan ilişkili olduğu gözlenmektedir. Çalışma, mali disiplin politikalarının neoliberalizmle olan ilişkisini hem AB çevre ülkelerindeki uygulamaları hem de bu politikaların teorik ve politik yönlerini dikkate alarak açıklamaktadır.

Neoliberalism and Fiscal Austerity: An Essay for After Global Crisis

Öz

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the relevance of neo-liberalism to the fiscal austerity policies implemented after the 2008 global financial crisis. The study claims that although the neoliberal policies were criticized during the initial stages of the global financial crisis, these policies gained the leading position through the fiscal austerity policies. Given the fiscal austerity policies implemented in the countries at the periphery of the EU, it is observed that these policies are directly related to the neoliberal logic. The study explores the relationship between fiscal austerity policies and neo-liberalism by taking into account both the practices in the EU peripheral countries and the theoretical and political aspects of these policies.
