Özet:

 Germany has been an important country in the emergence and development of social policy practices and the discipline of social policy science and as such has a characteristic position as a welfare state. This is reflected in the field of civil society, with Germany having been analyzed in the literature as an example of a corporatist civil society regime, similar to comparative welfare state studies. In this regard, this study aims to determine the current state of civil societys conceptualization and organization in Germany, and the main focus of this study involves the social policy-welfare state perspective. For this purpose, the study first analyzes the relationship between social policy and civil society on a conceptual level before evaluating the current situation in Germany through the historical context. As a result and in light of the data obtained from research conducted in recent years, the study observes growth to have occurred in Germanys civil society organization, but this growth has also been accompanied by a structural transformation. In other words, the corporatization and tendency toward professionalization are observed to have gained weight in German civil society organizations.

 Almanya, sosyal politika uygulamalarının olduğu kadar, sosyal politika bilim disiplininin de hem ortaya çıkmasında hem de gelişmesinde önemli bir ülkedir. Bu çerçevede de sosyal devlet olarak karakteristik bir konumda yer almaktadır. Bunun bir yansıması ise sivil toplum alanında kendini göstermekte ve literatürde, Almanyanın, karşılaştırmalı refah devleti çalışmalarına benzer şekilde, korporatist bir sivil toplum rejimi örneği olarak ele alındığı anlaşılmaktadır. İşte bu noktada çalışmanın amacı ise, Almanyadaki sivil toplum anlayışının ve örgütlenmesinin, güncel durumunun tespiti olarak belirlenmiş; dayanak noktası sosyal politika-sosyal devlet dönüşümü perspektifi olmuştur. Bunun için çalışmada öncelikle sosyal politika-sivil toplum ilişkisi kavramsal düzlemde ele alınmış daha sonra da Almanyadaki mevcut durum tarihi süreç üzerinden anlamlandırılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Netice olarak, son yıllarda yapılan araştırmalardan elde edilen veriler ışığında, Almanyanın sivil toplum örgütlenmesinde büyümenin olduğu ama buna yapısal bir dönüşümün eşlik ettiği görülmüştür. Bir başka deyişle Alman sivil toplum örgütlenmesinde işletmecilik mantığının ve profesyonelleşme eğiliminin giderek ağırlık kazandığı anlaşılmaktadır.
