It compares Turkey with Britain, France, Germany, and Sweden, testing two common explanations: religion’s return to public life and welfare retrenchment. The analysis shows these accounts do not sufficiently explain the growing emphasis on such associations. Institutional histories drive differing degrees of change, focusing on shifts in state-society welfare structures and shifts in state-religion arrangements.","INTERNATIONAL MAX PLANCK RESEARCH SCHOOL on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy Köln, Germany  \npek Göçmen Yegino ˘glu  \nThe Politics of Religiously Motivated Welfare Provision  \nStudies on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy  \npek Göçmen Yegino˘glu  \nThe Politics of Religiously Motivated Welfare Provision  \n© pek Göçmen Yegino˘glu, 2010  \nPublished by IMPRS-SPCE  \nInternational Max Planck Research School on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy, Cologne [http://imprs.mpifg.de](http://imprs.mpifg.de)  \n[ISBN: 978-3-946416-01-2](ISBN: 978-3-946416-01-2)  \n[DOI: 10.17617/2.1464882](DOI: 10.17617/2.1464882)  \nStudies on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy  \nare published online on [http://imprs.mpifg.de.

Go to Dissertation Series).  \nStudies on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy  \nAbstract  \nThis historical-institutionalist study explores the mechanisms behind the increasing presence of religiously motivated civil society associations (RMAs) in the realm of welfare provision. The focus of the study is an in-depth analysis that compares the case of Turkey to four European countries: Britain, France, Germany, and Sweden. Through an analysis of these cases, the study demonstrates that neither the common sociology of religion argument that religion is returning to the public sphere nor the widespread claim of welfare retrenchment is sufficient to explain the increasing emphasis on RMAs in various countries. The leading argument of the dissertation presents different institutional histories as the main reason behind different degrees of change present in each respective realm of social policy. The two mechanisms that are focused on to understand change are:  \n(1) shifts in state-society relationships/transformations of welfare state structures; and (2) shifts in state-religion relationships/rearrangement of institutional structures between the state and various religious communities. The comparison between Turkey and the four western European countries demonstrates that in countries with immature welfare states the rise of RMAs has more serious implications for social rights and democratic citizenship. In contrast to low-level change in France and Germany, and medium-level change in Britain and Sweden, Turkey is defined as a case of high-level change because both the state-society and state-religion relationships have undergone major transformations in the post-1980s. The presence of long-standing institutional arrangements in either the state-society or state-religion area is the main reason that Britain, France, Germany and Sweden have enjoyed relative stability by comparison. The thesis, in addition to the historical-institutionalist analysis of the four European cases, includes a comprehensive study of the Turkish case. The historical analysis of the state-society and state-religion relations in Turkey since the early twentieth century shows that the specific secularization history of this country, coupled with the relatively immature characteristics of its welfare state, created a larger space for the rise of RMAs. The empirical research, on the aims, motivations and organizational structures of the RMAs and their connections to state, business and civil society networks, sheds light on how social policy arena transforms with the increasing presence of these associations in the welfare mix.  \nAbout the author  \npek Göçmen Yegino˘glu was a doctoral researcher at the IMPRS-SPCE from 2007 to 2010.  \nStudies on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy  \nThe Politics of Religiously Motivated Welfare Provision  \nInauguraldissertation  \nzur  \nErlangung des Doktorgrades der  \nWirtschafts-und Sozialwissenschaftlichen Fakultät  \nder Universität zu Köln  \n2010  \nvorgelegt  \nvon  \nİpek Göçmen Yeginoğlu,  \naus  \nBursa (Türkei)  \nReferent: Prof. Dr.","cbCaicwah5ZcBkTL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicwah5ZcBkTL","pdf",1710229,1,252,"English","en",105,"# Acknowledgements\n# Introduction\n## What is a Faith-Based Organization\n## Case Background: Understanding Turkey in relation to the existing variety in Europe\n## The Structure of the Thesis\n# Theorizing Religiously Motivated Social Provision\n## Two Competing Stories\n## The scope of the project and expected contributions\n## Methodology\n## Conceptual Clarifications\n# State, Religion and Social Policy at the Time of National Revolutions\n## Taking Religion and State Relations Serious\n## Patterns of Social Policy Field in Europe\n## Conclusion\n# Contemporary Shifts in State, Religion and Society Relations in Europe\n## The cases of medium degree of change: Britain and Sweden\n## The cases of low degree of change: Germany and France\n## Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the study on religiously motivated welfare provision?\",\"answer\":\"The study explains the mechanisms behind the rising presence of religiously motivated civil society associations in welfare provision, using an in-depth institutional analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"Which countries are compared with Turkey in the dissertation?\",\"answer\":\"Turkey is compared with Britain, France, Germany, and Sweden to assess how different institutional histories relate to varying degrees of change.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do the study’s findings question common explanations such as religion’s return or welfare retrenchment?\",\"answer\":\"The dissertation argues that neither the sociology-of-religion claim about religion returning to the public sphere nor the welfare retrenchment narrative adequately accounts for the increasing emphasis on religiously motivated associations.\"}]","The Politics of Religiously Motivated Welfare Provision -
