Religion and Comparative Development is the first analytical
endeavor on religion and government that incorporates microeconomic
modeling of democracy and dictatorship as well as empirical
linkages between religious norms and the bureaucratic provision of
public goods within the framework of survey data analysis and
public goods experiments. Moreover, it explores the rising
significance of religion in Middle East and post-Soviet politics,
as well as in current migration, security and party developments in
the United States and Europe alike through these lenses. This book
underscores the significance of religion as a crucial factor for
political development and economic transformation, suggesting that
all world religions can offer pathways to peace and development
through different institutional channels. With a multiplicity of
methods (statistical modeling, game theory, lab-in-the-field
experiments, comparative historical analysis), the author observes
how religion impacts political economy and international politics,
and not always negatively. This demystification of religion goes
beyond the classical discussion on the role of religion in the
public sphere and sets the grounds for explaining why some
economies are more likely to be democracies and others
dictatorships. Researchers, graduate and undergraduate students of
economics and social sciences, and faculty members who are
interested in cutting-edge research on economics and culture will
want this book in their collection. It insights will also be useful
for policy-makers, administrators, historians, and civic
organizations.
