“…Alongside this discussion, there are contrary suggestions, emerging in the past five years, that this religious/secular divide within FBO analyses is unhelpful or inaccurate (Seidel, 2012;Clarke and Ware, 2015). Fountain (2013), for example argued that the "myth" of religious NGOs is an arbitrary category which simply serves to 'Other' or reify a group of organisations unnecessarily.…”

“…In recent publications there are calls for greater reflexivity in development: this is a relatively under-established, but significant theme. As well as calling into question key terms including 'religion' and 'development' themselves, (Jones and Petersen, 2011;Rew, 2011;Seidel, 2012;Barnett and Stein, 2012;Donnelly, 2013;Fountain, 2013;Carbonnier, 2013). We can see more pointed questions about the role and purpose of development (Jones and Petersen, 2011;Rew, 2011;Walsh, 2015).…”

Religion and development: Tracing the trajectories of an evolving sub-discipline

Religion and development (RaD) has emerged as a new academic sub-discipline since the turn of the 21st century, following decades of secular assumptions and attitudes dominating development studies, and international development more broadly. In 2019, there was a little doubt that religion has been incorporated into development studies and it is therefore timely to re-appraise RaD. Recent scholarship suggests that RaD increasingly informs, engages with and influences development studies and development practice—providing rich empirical material, broader disciplinary engagement and deeper analytical insight. Drawing on a survey of almost—mainly English language—700 publications, this article traces the emergence and establishment of RaD. The article traces the emergence of the field (2000–10) and then its subsequent more critical engagement with development studies (between 2011 and 2018). The article concludes by identifying five emerging contemporary research themes within RaD and future research opportunities.

“…Studies indicate, for instance, that FBOs may offer a wider array of services (Heist and Cnaan 2016), attract more volunteers (Ebaugh et al . 2003; Kearns, Park, and Yankoski 2005), and facilitate greater trust in specific recipient communities than their secular counterparts (Jones and Petersen 2011; Seidel 2012; Wuthnow, Hackett, and Hsu 2004).…”

“…The growth of religious fundamentalism and its collision with state power at the turn of the twenty‐first century forced scholars and practitioners to reevaluate such “fundamental‐secularism” (Seidel 2012, 437). It also brought to the fore the increased relevance of religion and the utility and value of religious actors in international development (Carbonnier 2013).…”

“…Muslim “civilization” became the evil “other,” and the United States used all available tools to combat foreign extremists, including the U.S. military and foreign aid. Thus, NGOs that accepted government aid had to accept their role in the country’s larger “fight for freedom.” In some cases, this manifested in specific aid conditions, such as displaying the American flag or cooperating with the American military in aid delivery (Barnett 2005, 725; Howell and Lind 2009; Seidel 2012, 436). All organizations accepting government funds were also required to sign a certificate committing not to aid individuals with known terrorist connections.…”

Government Funding for Faith‐Based International Development: Empirical Evidence from a U.S. Survey

In a move that some equate with a “turn to religion,” state, regional, and international donors now all seek to partner with religious organizations to deliver international humanitarian aid. Evidence indicates, however, that this invitation is not always accepted. The United States serves as a prominent example. Although the United States went so far as to establish an office in USAID to facilitate coordination with faith‐based organizations in 2002, the number of religious organizations receiving USAID funds remains low. My research suggests that this is also true of faith‐based aid applications. An online survey of over 400 U.S.‐based nonprofits with international operations reveals that perceptions of government bias likely deter many religious NGOs in the United States from applying for government funds. While this explanation may be unique to the United States, it may also provide a testable hypothesis to scholars studying similar dynamics in other donor countries and organizations.
