International development policy religion and development

With the resurgence of religion and rise of fundamentalism within major religions, academic scholars and development agencies are increasingly debating the appropriate role of religion and faith-based organisations in development policy and practice. A global cast of scholars and practitioners examine these issues and fundamentally question the secular-religious dichotomy. They shed light on the reluctance of mainstream economic development approaches to incorporate religion. They examine recent initiatives by international development agencies and donors to integrate religion into development policy, and to develop partnerships with faith-based organisations. Through research on religious movements in Brazil, South Africa, Sri Lanka, China, Turkey and the states of the Arab-Spring, the authors discuss whether faith and religion provide a credible alternative to the (neo)liberal democratic development agenda.

  • "International development cooperation is undergoing a revolution in order to cope with global challenges that cut across the rich/poor and North/South divides. Beyond the fight against poverty, development aid is called upon to address global public goods. While intergovernmental negotiations stall, bilateral and multilateral aid agencies boast to tackle climate change, food insecurity, water and energy scarcity, pandemics, armed conflicts and disasters in weak states, migrations, etc. The emergence of new aid actors radically alters the traditional aid architecture and approaches. The increasing number of poor living in middle-income countries makes poverty alleviation more of a political than a technical endeavour. The book examines how this profoundly affects international development cooperation. It questions how far bilateral and multilateral aid agencies succeed in mainstreaming global issues in their operations. It assesses how emerging and traditional donors address competing objectives, often with diverging rationales. -- Publisher description."@en
