      title = {Human security and philanthropy Islamic perspectives and  Muslim majority country practices / [electronic resource]  :},
      abstract = {For many years, Muslims have been involved in  philanthropic activities focused on helping the poor and  needy through varied types of ?third sector? organizations  (TSOs). Nevertheless, many people in Muslim majority  countries (MMCs) face human security crises and not much is  known about the TSOs in these countries or their human  security provisions. To fill this knowledge gap, this  volume documents and analyses philanthropic and other types  of third sector organizations including the awqaf (Muslim  endowments) vis-à-vis human security in MMCs. The study is  comprehensive in treating the subject matter - examining  the legal environment, characteristics, extent, and  functioning of all forms of the third sector and their  human security performances - and in geographic coverage,  covering all forty-seven Muslim majority countries in  Africa and Asia. It is also innovative as it expounds on  TSO density analysis, state support score (SSS), and a  third-sector capability measure (TCM) to study their  interrelationships. This volume is an essential unique  reference book for students and scholars of the third  sector and human security, international organizations,  development agencies, donor governments, security experts,  and in particular anybody with interests in Islam and  MMCs.},
