Using the POLITY IV and Freedom House indices, Rowley and Smith (Public Choice 139(3–4):273, 2009 ) found that countries with Muslim majorities enjoy less freedom and are less democratic than countries in which Muslims are a minority. Because the POLITY IV and Freedom House indices have been criticized on several grounds, I reinvestigate Rowley and Smith’s finding using the new Democracy-Dictatorship data from Cheibub et al. (Public Choice 143(1–2):67, 2010 ). The empirical results confirm that countries with Muslim majorities are indeed less likely to be democratic.

Policies against Human Trafficking: The Role of Religion and Political Institutions Abstract I investigate empirically the role of religion and political institutions in policies against human trafficking, using the new 3P Anti-trafficking Policy Index. The dataset contains 175 countries. The results show that governments in countries with Christian majorities implement stricter anti-trafficking policies than countries with Muslim majorities. The differences between countries with Christian and Muslim majorities is pronounced in dictatorships but less so in democracies. The influence of religion on the overall 3P Anti-trafficking Policy Index is driven by protection and prevention policies. As compared to prosecution policies that mainly target the perpetrators of human trafficking, protection and prevention policies mainly protect the victims of human trafficking, i.e. predominantly women. The conclusions are consistent with other empirical findings regarding the association between religion, political institutions, and human development. JEL-Code: F220, O150, O110, Z120, F590.

This study examines the extent of religious discrimination by governments and societal actors against 159 religious minorities in 37 democratic countries, which are either or both members of the European Union or Western democracies between 1990 and 2014 using the Religion and State-Minorities Round 3 (RASM3) dataset. While religious freedom is a contested term, religious discrimination-which I define as restrictions placed on the religious practices and institutions of minority religions that are not placed on the majority religion-is a violation of all liberal conceptions of religious freedom. I find that both types of discrimination examined here are common and increasing. Keywords
