Abstract
In the Declaration on the Right to Development adopted in 1986 by the United Nations General Assembly, the right to development is considered a human right and an integral part of human rights. In this light, the approval and implementation of welfare and development projects are seen as essential for securing this right and, consequently, as obligations of states. Both the developmental state theory and the welfare state theory advocate for state intervention aimed at achieving development and are seen as having a constructive role. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the main question of this study is to understand the relationship between developmental and welfare states and the right to development. Developmental states emphasize the positive outcomes of economic development rather than the democratic nature of the system. This characteristic lead researchers to conclude that the developmental state will not guarantee the right to development as a human right as defined in human rights instruments. However, the welfare state refers to welfare rights and the development of education and health. Thus, with the close and evolving relationship between welfare rights and the right to development, the ideal state, from a human-rights perspective, is the welfare state.
