englischReligions are increasingly being regarded as relevant partners in international development cooperation due to their special attributes. However, to date there has been little research into what the special attributes of religious development agencies actually are or how such organisations employ them. What resources do religious NGOs draw on in development cooperation? How do such NGOs differ from other development agencies? Does their engagement make a considerable difference to collaborative development work? Using empirical case studies and theoretical analysis, the contributions in this book address these questions. In doing so, they examine different religions and their collaborative development work in various regions of the world, and chart the most recent changes in religions.

»Der [...] Sammelbd. gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die Aktivitäten glaubensbasierter Organisationen und die Vielfalt ihrer Ansätze. [...] Mit dem Bd. ist es gelungen, das Wirken von RNGOs in ganz unterschiedlichen Regionen, spirituellen und kulturellen Kontexten mit diversen disziplinären Zugängen zu erfassen. So wurde internationale Expertise aus der Religionswissenschaft, Theologie, Anthropologie, Friedens- und Sozialethik und den Regionalstudien zusammengetragen.«
Dr. Martina Fischer, Theologische Revue November 2021

»I find the collection quite interesting. The focus lies on the development agencies and organisations and their religious identity: How does their faith influence their development engagement?«
Christian Tauchner, Verbum SVD 1/2022, 138
