Overview
Private aid and philanthropic charities are often considered part of a neo-liberal strategy to reduce state responsibility for the provision of many services considered essential to securing social rights, with the devolution of welfare responsibilities to non-state actors a means to minimising social expenditures. Such a construction ostensibly depicts philanthropic non-state actors as agents of social justice that, in contributing to poverty reduction, play a role in social transformation. This article questions the assumption that private aid delivered through philanthropic activities and faith-based organisations (FBOs) can fulfil the state's responsibility in terms of social protection and transformation. It questions whether partnerships between the state and institutions that are not democratically elected and do not fit within a robust accountability framework can fulfil this remit. This is examined through the prism of a case study of the relationship between the Turkish state and philanthropy, focusing on FBOs that fund poverty reducing activities. Les organisations caritatives et de bienfaisance privées sont souvent considérées comme étant un élément d’une stratégie néolibérale pour transférer une partie de la responsabilité de l’État de fournir des services considérés essentiels pour la garantie des droits sociaux vers le secteur privé. Déléguer la responsabilité pour l’aide sociale à divers acteurs non gouvernementaux est ainsi un moyen de réduire les dépenses sociales. Une telle interprétation présente les organisations philanthropiques non gouvernementales comme les artisans d’une justice sociale qui, en aidant à réduire la pauvreté, contribuent du même coup à une transformation sociale. Cet article remet en question l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’aide privée fournie à travers les activités philanthropiques et des organisations confessionnelles peut décharger l’État de sa responsabilité en matière de protection et transformation sociales. Il pose la question de savoir si les partenariats entre l’État et les institutions non démocratiques et qui n’adhèrent pas à un cadre de responsabilisation sociale peuvent remplir cette mission. Nous examinons cette question à travers le prisme d’une étude de cas sur la relation entre l’État turc et la philanthropie, en portant une attention particulière aux organisations confessionnelles qui financent des activités de réduction de la pauvreté.
