RELIGION AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH - ...

This book examines how the beliefs and practices of each of the major world religions  as well
as other belief systems  affect the variables that influence growth and development in the
Global South. Evidence suggests that as countries develop  the influence of religion on all
aspects of society declines. In stark contrast to the developed world  in the Global South  the
role of religion is highly pervasive - the distinctive conclusion of this book is therefore
that a lessening of religiosity is a sine qua non for growth and development  including secular
laws and constitutions. Offering a ground-breaking study in an area little explored in the
English language  this book will satisfy an important gap in the literature on the political
economy of development  sociology of religion  law  and anthropology.
