Research Topic

Faith Groups in British International Development Policies from 1992 and 2007

My research analyses the relationship between faith groups and the UK government in regard to international development policies.

The main focus of the research is to explore whether the resurgence of religion in international relations has had an impact on the government’s engagement with faith groups.
