%0 Journal Article %T ACTORS IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF WELFARE: POLITICS, ECONOMY, AND CULTURE %A Osman Furkan Ayd£¿n %J - %D 2018 %X This paper focuses on both the classic and recent debates concerning the welfare state. The goal is to determine the actors in the emergence of modern welfare states. I claim social and cultural elements in the social provision of welfare is relevant as a distinct category, and identify waqf as a religio-cultural institution and zakat as a religio-cultural practice that played and still plays influential role in the distribution of welfare in the case of Turkey. I suggest, if a welfare regime description of Turkey would be made, waqf and zakat are indispensable and must be analyzed %K refah devleti %K refah rejimleri %K vatanda£¿l£¿k haklar£¿ %K sosyal politika %K refah£¿n toplumsal da£¿£¿t£¿m£¿ %K vak£¿f %K zekat %K sadaka %U http://dergipark.org.tr/muhakeme/issue/37302/428784
