AbstractThis article underlines three principles of reference that renew discourse on and comprehension of the role of the state in social protection towards unemployed people. At a certain level of abstraction, those principles of reference are present in many countries. They lead to label and to understand situations in different terms of which we were familiar during the Welfare State apogee. At the same time, they permit and open up to various political orientations and mechanisms of implementation. This dualism is emphasized. Four countries are referenced for this discussion: Canada, France, Germany and Sweden. The study considers the way in which problems are stated in their principles and the implementation of programmes. Policies and programmes implemented reveal logics of intervention which suggest different ways to consider the articulation between the « integrated area » and the « excluded area » of the society.

The welfare state is one of the most frequently used social scence terms that causes arguments or political discussions. The role of the state in the development of its social role has changed through time, and parallel with this, the term welfare state has changed too, as well as theories regarding the welfare state. In this study, the author’s main goal is to summarise the different theories of the welfare state. Following this, a special approach will be shown in terms of the categorization of the welfare state to show its role in a special welfare: i.e. in what ways does it supports families. This view has not received much attention in detail in the literature so far.

The discourse about the Welfare State is interesting. This article aims to conduct in-depth analysis related to the concept of the welfare state and its relation to maqasid sharia according to Jamaluddin Athiyyah. The method used in this study is qualitative with a literature approach, namely conducting a study of the literature surrounding the welfare state and the Maqasid sharia. The conclusion of this study is that Athiyyah provides an overview of the division of tasks of the government in ensuring the welfare of its people into four dimensions, namely: individuals, families, society and humanity. Furthermore it was stated that the three basic principles of maqasid sharia to create prosperity would not be fulfilled but rather with the active role of the State.
