ACTORS IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF WELFARE: POLITICS, ECONOMY, AND CULTUREKeywords: refah devleti,refah rejimleri,vatanda?l?k haklar?,sosyal politika,refah?n toplumsal da??t?m?,vak?f,zekat,sadaka Abstract: 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
