POSTDEVELOPMENT AND NONSECULARISM IN AN OFFICIALLY SECULAR STATE: FAITH‐BASED SOCIAL ACTION IN THE PHILIPPINES

Journal of International Development, 2017, vol. 29, issue 3, 370-385

Abstract: A growing body of literature on the Global South takes postdevelopment as a conceptual starting point, exploring the diversity of new forms of economy and empowerment produced locally through interactions with national and global forces. Studies of postsecularism and nonsecularism in the Global North demonstrate many affinities with postdevelopment. In the Philippines, small Christian communities and entire dioceses are tackling community livelihood and well‐being. The Diocese of San Carlos is committed to the goal of ‘total human development’, a concept of cultural, economic and political empowerment among communities within its borders, shedding light on debates about development and faith‐based organisation.
