TRANSFORMATION OF THE WELFARE STATE
Öz
The Welfare State lived its Golden Age at liberal-capitalist system’s major countries af-ter the Second World War. With this, since the beginning of 1980s globalization as an interactive instrument has led to reconstruction of this phenomenon. It is observed that as a basic indicator of the reconstruction, social expenditures have become stagnant. Reconstruction was realized in different ways by different welfare state understandings. The liberal understanding which favored to reconstructing the welfare state on the ba-sis of tax reductions and deregulations was used recomodification as a leverage. As second, the countries which accepted as social democrat understanding continued to carry out the social programs by facing the constant crisis threatening. As third, con-servative understanding protected the social spending level by exposuring slowing growth or increasing inflation. As conclusion, the view of the society for the Welfare State has changed considerably in the 2000s. The Welfare State practices, which have an positive point of view because of the increasing degree of wealth, have been placed at the center of criticism in the 2000s.
