摘要:The idea of a social state that protects the individual and society began to develop and was institutionalized as a result of the economic and social crises arising from wars, famines, and epidemics during the twentieth century, especially in Europe. With the erosion over time of natural networks such as family and kinship that provided social security and social services to the individual in the past, the state gradually assumed this role. The rights of disadvantaged groups such as women, minorities, immigrants, unemployed people, elderly people, and children were reorganized within the framework of fundamental rights such as equality, justice, democracy, and freedom as a requirement for the emerging understanding of the social state and gained universal recognition. As a thinker who witnessed the wars and socioeconomic and political crises in Europe during that period, the works of Alija Izetbegovic are shaped by fundamental universal social rights, democracy, equality, and morality and deal with topics such as family, women, elderly people, children, poverty, war, crime, and so on. As the founding head of state of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the works of Alija Izetbegovic are mainly analyzed through the lenses of political philosophy, religion, and morality. However, many of Aliya’s ideas about social services fall in line with the present-day human rights discourse. This study will seek to answer the question of what the social work paradigm is in Aliya Izetbegovic’s works by discussing the ideas expressed by the thinker within the scope of social services issues. Accordingly, Aliya’s works were analyzed through social services-themed topics such as the issues of family, women, crime, and elderly people, revealing universal discourses that can go beyond political and religious perceptions of Aliya’s works.
