Der Niedergang der Religion in der westlichen Welt wurde oft als direkte Folge von Entwicklung gesehen, dieselben Tendenzen erwartete man bei gleichen Bedingungen auch im Globalen Süden. Der gegenwärtige Aufschwung der Religion im Globalen Süden und das wachsende Bewusstsein ihrer Bedeutung im Globalen Norden zeigen jedoch, dass Religion weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Diese Aufsatzsammlung erkundet das faszinierende Wechselspiel zwischen Religion und Entwicklung sowie die negativen und positiven Potentiale von Religion in Entwicklungsprozessen.

[Religion: Help or Hindrance to Development?]
The decline of religion in the Western world used to be regarded as a direct consequence of development, and it was assumed that this would also occur in the global South once the same levels of economic development had been reached. The current flourishing of religion in the global South and the increased awareness of its significance in the global North prove that religion continues to play a crucial role. In those contexts where religion frames reality, development cannot ignore religion. This collection of essays by scholars and development practitioners from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin and North America explores the fascinating interface between religion and development as well as the negative and positive potential of religion in development.
