“…Later, it needs to expand more targets to other mosques by increasing the amount of loans disbursed. As such, this study reaffirms the prominence of religious relations with the economy (Kuznetsova & Round, 2014;Martens, 2014). The scientific discourse about the relationship of religion and economy stuck in the early 1990s (Abdullah & Aini, 2017).…”

Historically, mosque is the center for human civilization with various activities covering social, economy, and culture. However, its function have been shifted and specialized into a place of worship. This paper aims to describe the contribution of the great mosque of Attaqwa Pancor in social economic empowerment, particularly small businesses in Pancor, East Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB). The Data are collected through observation, interview, and document study. The result of the analysis shows that mosque involvement in the small-scale economic activities has brought them to be free from the difficulty of capital access and dependence. In the first stage, that is the period of 2019 to August 2020, through Mawar Emas program, total of 80 small-traders in Pancor village was helped to be free from debt problems. The great mosque of Attaqwa which is supported by Indonesia Sharia Economic Community (Masyarakat Ekonomi Syariah, MES) were successfully distributing the total amount of 80 million rupiahs for the small business purposes. The existence of the Attaqwa mosque proves and affirms that religious institutions can contribute to the social economic development. Considering the strategic position, this paper suggests the need for institutional reinforcement of mosque to restore its broad role in addition to religious issues.JEL Classification: A13; O15; Z12

“…There is a growing literature discussing social solidarity, social justice and other micro-social phenomena that do not necessarily come from the state (Kuznetsova & Round, 2014;Polese et al 2014Polese et al , 2015. Post-Weberian conceptions of a state advocate several degrees of state intervention (Darden, 2008): from little e a liberal logic, where the state does not interfere in market activities but creates the instruments for control of fair behaviour e to more proactive intervention, where the state is the warrant of most economic rights and obligations.…”

Recent debates on informal economic activities have partially switched away from a pure monetary logic towards a more complex one, embedded in long term relations and reckoning with non materialistic paradigms. The role of informality in certain aspects of people's lives has however, remained largely unexplored. This article uncovers what happens when the state retires from (providing benefits and social services to) a geographic area and what kind of mechanisms, practices and institutions are created to make up for this. We suggest that, in the face of de facto abandonment by state welfare, and the absence of a private sector alternative, a myriad of transactions and actors can make up for this by replacing these forms of welfare informally. Our case study focuses on the nuclear landscapes around the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in north–central Ukraine as we reveal the ways the excluded and abandoned, which we frame as post-nuclear “bare life” (Agamben, 1998), have created a mechanism of social security that is independent from the state and yet complements it. Informal, local and unofficial understandings of nuclear spaces are central to survival in this marginalised and risky environment.

Concepciones post-weberianas del Estado abogan por identificar diversos grados de intervención estatal (Darden, 2007): desde poco (la lógica liberal, donde el Estado no interfiere en las actividades del mercado pero sí crea los instrumentos para garantizar las reglas del juego), hasta una intervención más proactiva, donde el Estado es garante de la mayor parte de los derechos económicos y de las obligaciones.…”

ResumenRecientemente, el debate sobre el fenómeno de las actividades económicas informales se ha ido alejando, por lo menos parcialmente, de aquellas lógicas estrictamente monetarias, desplazándose hacia esquemas más complejos donde, dentro de perspectivas a largo plazo, se asumen paradigmas no materialistas. Sin embargo, el papel de la informalidad en numerosos aspectos de la existencia individual sigue sin ser verdadero objeto de estudio. Este artículo desvela qué ocurre cuando el Estado se retira (véase el fin de la garantía de prestaciones y servicios sociales) de una determinada área geográfica y qué tipo de mecanismos, prácticas e instituciones surgen en su lugar. Sugerimos que en el contexto de la desaparición de un Estado de bienestar y en ausencia de alternativas por parte del sector privado una miríada de transacciones y de actores logran colmar el vacío y ofrecer así una cobertura de carácter informal. Nuestro caso de estudio se centra en la Zona de Exclusión de Chernóbil en el noreste de Ucrania, afectada por el accidente nuclear homónimo, revelando con ello cómo todos aquellos que han quedado excluidos y abandonados, y a quienes identificamos como inmersos en la "nuda vida" post-nuclear (Agamben, 1998), han logrado crear mecanismos de seguridad social independientemente de los esquemas estatales, ofreciendo un papel complementario, y ello hasta hoy en día. Arreglos informales, locales y no oficiales en un espacio nuclear resultan cruciales para la supervivencia en un entorno marginal y peligroso como es este.Palabras clave: Chernóbil, economías informales, informalidad, nuda vida, post-socialismo, Ucrania. AbstractRecent informality debates have started exploring, in addition to monetary and pure economic transactions, non-monetary ones, often embedded in long term and established social relations. In spite of this, the role informality plays in various aspects of people's lives has been studied only partly. In our work we explore the case of a retiring state that stops providing benefits and social services to a given area of a country. We concentrate our analysis on the practices and mechanisms that emerge from this de jure and de facto abandonment by both the state and the private sector. By so doing, we concentrate a large variety of transactions and actors that emerge to replace the state and shed the basis for a large and comprehensive informal welfare mechanism. The geographical area studied here is the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine. We maintain that these areas have seen the establishment and consolidation of mechanisms of social security completely independent from, but yet complementing, the state welfare provider. We will show that informality, and informal practices, are vital to survival in a marginalised and risky environment.
