    Political determinants of social assistance policies: a critical global comparative systematic literature review
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd) Bargu, Ali; Department of Sociology; N/A; Yörük, Erdem; Kına, Mehmet Fuat; Faculty Member; Researcher; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 28982; N/A
    Social assistance programs and the related literature are proliferating globally. This article conducts a critical systematic review of the literature with objective and transparent selection criteria and illustrates two major shortcomings: First, the literature is largely descriptive and impact-oriented as analytical studies on the determinants/causes of social assistance programs are relatively under-examined. Second, it identifies a gap in the literature, which emanates from the relative under-examination of political, and especially contentious political, factors in scholarly analyses of determinants/causes of social assistance programs in comparison to structuralist, institutional, and ideational approaches.

    The dependent variable problem revisited: methods, concepts, and scope in the welfare retrenchment literature
    (Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2021) Department of Sociology; N/A; Yörük, Erdem; Kına, Mehmet Fuat; Faculty Member; Researcher; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 28982; N/A
    This chapter discusses whether and to what extent there is “dependent variable problem” in the most recent welfare state retrenchment literature. The problem is previously defined as the vagueness, lack of consensus and inconsistencies in the conceptualization and operationalization of welfare retrenchment. Some scholars have argued that welfare state retrenchment should be measured with expenditure levels, while some others suggest the use of right based measures (e.g. replacement rates). However, more recently, there appeared a silent consensus on the use of social rights as the best choice over expenditures. This chapter is based on a systematic literature review of empirical analyzes on welfare retrenchment that have been published after those reviewed by Green-Pedersen (2004). Despite the theoretical consensus, our analysis points out that expenditure is still the most commonly used indicator to represent and analyze welfare retrenchment. It also allows to figure out to what extent the DVP has been resolved.
