Faith-based organisations and exclusion in European cities

Justin Beaumont and Paul Cloke

Abstract

This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to examine the role of FBOs in overcoming poverty and social exclusion in European cities. At a time of uniquely European controversies and neoliberal globalisation, this volume explores the defining relations of FBOs and contains sectoral studies to explore how FBOs are growing in importance in the provision of social services in the European urban context. This seminal book is an essential reference source for academics studying social policy, sociology, geography, politics, urban studies and theology/religious studies.

Keywords: Faith-based Organisations (FBOs), Social services, Sociology, Social policy, Urban studies, Politics, Poverty/social exclusion, Globalisation
