Complementing the editors' previous publications  in Western and Eastern Europe, this edited volume considers the role of religious-based organizations in social welfare and in the public sphere more broadly. While Part One of the proposed volume addresses theoretical issues, Part Two and Part Three turn to ten country cases in total:  Argentina, Brazil, Chile; Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. As such, this comprehensive volume will be of use to political scientists and social scientists looking to study the religion and social policy nexus in Latin America.weiterlesen
