Sivil toplumun son beş yılını mercek altına alma amacını taşıyan bu çalışmada üç soruya cevap aranmaktadır. Bu sorular 1. Sivil toplum küresel ölçekte son beş yılda ciddi bir geri çekilme yaşamakta mıdır?. 2. Eğer bir geri çekilme söz konusuysa bu geri çekilme tarihsel olarak çoğulcu geçmişe sahip poliarşik ülkeri de kapsamakta mıdır?. 3. Çoğulcu ve poliarşik ülkelerde de sivil toplum ve sivil alan zarar görümüşse çoğulcu ve poliarşik olmayan ve pandemi dönemini popülist iktidarla atlatmaya çalışan ülkelerde sivil alan ne kadar zarar görmüştür? Masa başı çalışması olarak gerçekleştirilen çalışmada sivil toplumun küresel ölçekte son beş yılına ışık tutmak için CIVICUS raporları ve Carnegie Protest Tracker verileri referans alınmış, ayrıca 6 ülke ölçeğinde yapılan karşılaştırmalar için ise The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIC), Freedom House, V-Dem (Varience of Democracy/Demokrasi Çeşitleri) ve son olarak Skaaning Ölçeği’nden faydalanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda tespit edilen bulgular: 1. küresel ölçekte sivil toplumun son beş yılda ciddi bir gerileme yaşadığı, 2. bu gerilemenin tarihsel olarak çoğulcu geçmişe sahip poliarşik ülkeleri çok ciddi bir şekilde etkilemediği, 3. tarihsel olarak çoğulcu ve plüralist olmasa da demokratik endekslerde üst sıralarda yer alan ülkelerde pandemi dönemi popülist iktidarlarla birleştiğinde özellikle siyasal özgürlüklerin ciddi anlamda olumsuz etkilendiği lakin sivil alanın direnmeye devam etmekte olduğudur.

This study aims to examine the last five years of civil society and seeks answers to these three questions: 1. Has civil society experienced a severe recession in the last five years on a global scale? 2. If there is a withdrawal, does it include the polyarchic countries with a historically pluralistic past? 3. If civil society and civil space have been damaged in pluralist and polyarchic countries, how much has civil space been damaged in countries that are not pluralistic and polyarchic and are trying to overcome the pandemic period with populist regimes? In the study, which was carried out as a desk study, the data of the CIVICUS reports and the Carnegie Protest Tracker database were taken as a reference to shed light on the last five years of civil society on a global scale. Also, the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIC), Freedom House, V-Dem (Varience of Democracy) and finally, the Skaaning Scale were used to answer other questions. Findings determined as a result of the study 1. that civil society on a global scale has experienced a serious decline in the last five years, 2. this decline has not seriously affected polyarchic countries with a historically pluralistic past, 3. in countries that are not historically pluralist and polyarchic but rank high in democratic indexes, when the pandemic is combined with populist governments, especially political freedoms are seriously negatively affected, but the civil space continues to resist this regression.
