| Riepilogo: | The book Religion and Human Security is a treasure trove of case studies providing rich insights for policy-makers, practitioners, and scholars alike. The exploration of how religious actors affect human security is refreshing in its breadth and depth and freedom from any narrow theoretical framework. The combination of two concepts, human security and religion, provides a broad analytical framework for the thirteen case studies—mainly focusing on Islamic and Christian actors. The definition of religion (“socially enacted desire for the ultimate” p. 9) fits well with the three dimensions of human security used (physical welfare, human rights, and subjective dimensions). |
