Özet:

The purpose of this research is to examine social assistance and solidarity foundations as a tool of new social policy practices that emerged with the transformation in the role of the state. In the research, text analysis was made in line with the relevant legislation, literature and statistics, and evaluations were made with a critical point of view. In the restructuring process, the understanding of the regulatory state emerged. The regulatory state aims to prevent poverty and related social problems that arise with the negative effects of neoliberal policies from causing major crises through social assistance. In this direction, social assistance has gained importance in the field of social policy. Needy-oriented social assistance aims to meet the basic needs that will ensure the continuation of human life. However, in the study, it was concluded that these policies are far from getting people out of poverty completely. The effects of the transformation in the state on the social aid policy were examined through social assistance and solidarity foundations. Other social assistance institutions are excluded from the research. There are many studies in the field of social policy about social assistance and solidarity foundations. On the other hand, there are not enough studies examining social assistance and solidarity foundations in the context of the effect of the transformation in the state on social assistance. The research is also important in terms of evaluating the organizational functioning of social assistance and solidarity foundations.
