Migration, the State, and Faith-Based Organizations
A comprehensive study of how faith-based organizations mediate the relationship between migrants, displacement, and state sovereignty. Drawing on comparative legal analysis and institutional theory, this monograph explores the unique position of religious actors in migration governance and the evolution of their role in addressing humanitarian crises.
Published in Brill's Migration and Diasporas series, this work contributes to ongoing conversations in migration studies, law, and religious studies.
