Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Focusing on the role and impact of Islam and Islamic Faith Based Organisations (FBOs), Islam and Development considers Islamic theology and its application to development and how Islamic teaching is used in case studies of Muslim FBOs. It brings together contributions from the disciplines of theology, sociology, politics and economics, aiming both to raise awareness and to function as a corrective step within the development studies literature.
