Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland which are called Nordic Countries have adopted welfare state policies that are proper their characteristics. Finland, as a Nordic Country, was surviving with agriculture and forestry and poor one, is attracted attention both in achieving welfare state policies for 30-40 years which is very short time and as a model in welfare societies. While many welfare counties were compromising on welfare expanses in order to be able to compete with developed and developing countries in transition neoliberal policies after 1970s. Finland both has continued to apply welfare policies and became successful in transition knowledge society by acting and applying new regulations.

Özet

Refah devleti Keynesyen politikaların uygulanması ile Dünya üzerinde yayılmış ve 1945 sonrasında belli bölgelerde sınıf çatışmasında azalma ile beraber, sosyal ve ekonomik alanlarda önemli ilerlemeler olmuştur. Altın çağ olarak da nitelendirilen bu dönem, özellikle Kuzey Amerika veAvrupa’da kendini göstermiş ve bazı ülkeler tarafından model olarak alınmaya çalışılmıştır.İskandinav ülkeleri olarak nitelenen İsveç, Norveç, Danimarka ve Finlandiya ise kendilerine özgüpolitikalar oluşturarak refah devleti politikalarını benimsemişlerdir. Bunların içinde tarım veormancılık ekonomisi ile hayatta kalan ve fakir bir ülke olan Finlandiya’nın hem refah devletiuygulamalarını 30-40 yıl öncesinden kısa zamanda hayata geçirmesi hem de refah toplumunda örnek bir ülke olması dikkatleri üzerine çekmiştir. Birçok refah devleti, 1970’li yıllardan sonraki neo-liberal politikalara geçiş sürecinde rekabet etme bahanesiyle refah devleti uygulamalarından taviz verirken, Finlandiya hem refah politikalarını uygulamaya devam etmiş, hem de yapılan düzenlemelerle bilgi toplumuna geçişte başarılı olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, bilgi toplumunun refah toplumunun ihtiyaçlarını karşılayıp karşılayamayacağına dair olan soru işaretlerine cevap bulmaya çalışırken, Finlandiya örneği incelenecektir.
