“WELFARE STATE” AND “ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THOUGHT” WITH IN THE FRAMEWORK IBN KHALDUN’S COMPREHENSION STATE

In Ibn Khaldun's thought system the phenomenon of asabiyyah is the driving force for communities to build a state. Ibn Khaldun does not think the state as an economic decision-making mechanism. The state should provide safe and fair environment for executing the economic activity. The state protects civil society from external and internal dangers, and takes the authority from a strong military organization. The state provides a protection for a fair, rights and freedoms as a political authority and this protection is the determinant of economics welfare. As the state developes, and increases economic prosperity, the community has a comfort in the economic terms. The state must manage to this process well, must avoid wastage. Otherwise, collapse of the state is inevitable afterwards the weaking of the state. The process of economic development creates a welfare society with integrating all cases socio-economic and cultural. One of the most important elements feeding economic development process is values in the community. Especially in the period of which provided economic welfare and planned economic development moral values of society should not be ignored. Carrying out economic activity and protection of the moral values of society are important. If these values ara not taken into account, economic development plans which are lack of social aspects will appear.
