Furthermore, the state’s withdrawal from providing social security is taking place throughout the world. One response to these developments has been increased migration, which poses further challenges to kinship-based social support systems. This innovative volume focuses on the ambiguous role of religious networks in social security and traces the interrelatedness of religious networks and state and family support systems. Particularly timely, it describes these challenges as well as social security arrangements in the context of globalization and migration. The wide range of case studies from various parts of the world that examine various religious groups offers an important comparative contribution to the understanding of religious networks as providers of social security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThe editors of this book give exceptional added value to its eleven essays.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJRAI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThis volume offers a wide range of topics and methodological approaches…[and] gives an excellent insight into the manifold interconnectedness of religious networks in the (trans)national context.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSocial Anthropology\/Anthropologie sociale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"[A] coherent set of theoretically interesting discussions based on sound empirical work … [to] contribute to some of the major issues of social anthropology.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeebet von Benda-Beckmann\u003c\/b\u003e, Max-Planck-Institute, Halle\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"... a good range of ethnographic material and theoretical debate.
