Religion and development -- Religious resurgence, globalisation, andgood governance -- Religion and development : the ambivalence of the sacred -- Conflict, conflict resolution and peace-building -- Economic growth, poverty and hunger -- Environmental sustainability -- Health -- Education.

Increasingly, the role of religion has become central to an understanding of international development. Traditionally, development studies focused on the causes of poverty, and religion was viewed as detrimental to progress. More recently, however, this negative consensus has broken down, partly due to the widespread failure of secular development programmes to achieve poverty reduction andend inequality and injustice.Religion is now seen as a potentially crucial to the achievement of developmental aims. In this book, the first textbook to examine the impact of religion in the developing world, Jeffrey Haynes introduces students to the key themes and theoretical perspectives, outlining: the rise of faith-based organizations the principles of key religious groups a typology of groupsactive in development the role of religion in conflict, conflict-resolution and peacebuilding the role of faith-based organizations in achieving the Millennium Development Goals, including economic growth, environmental sustainability, health care and education Focusing on the four major religions,Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, and their role across Africa, Asia and Latin America, Haynes examines both the positive and negative aspects of religion as a developmental aid, and, in doing so, also questions the assumptions that have underpinned the study of development. This essential text will be invaluable to all those concerned with the study of the developing world.
