In recent years, the challenge of relating one’s own theological concept of man and his destiny to secular topics, such as the inviolability of human dignity, has generated a dynamic discourse about how Islamic anthropology can help cultivate and perfect the individual self and social ‘humanisation’.

The transfer of public resources to the private sector through public procurement procedures opens an unprecedented opportunity for corruption and bribery. Moreover, the complex structure of the health sector leaves the sector more vulnerable to corruption and bribery than other sectors. Along with the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of corruption and bribery in public procurements has increased more than ever. Corruption and bribery cause substandard and counterfeit products to be released to the market by disrupting the health sector and market, damage the confidence in public procurements, cause the waste of resources, and most importantly risk the lives of millions of people. Although governments experience an extraordinary crisis, we claim that the most crucial arms in the fight against corruption and bribery during public procurements in the health sector are transparency and accountability.

While most people assume that all bribery is unethical, the literature provides examples and philosophical arguments to support the proposition that some bribery may actually be ethical, based on utilitarian grounds. This book provides a theoretical and empirical examination of bribery from an ethical perspective. It examines empirical data from over 80 countries and reports on attitudes toward bribery examining demographic variables such as gender, age, ethnicity, education, income level, religion and social class. Multi-country comparisons are provided to determine whether views toward bribery differ by geographic location.
Der Band nimmt aus unterschiedlichen religionswissenschaftlichen und sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven aktuelle Themen der Religionswissenschaft in den Blick. Sie gehen explizit oder implizit von der zentralen religionswissenschaftlichen sowie -politischen These aus, dass Solidarität im Inneren von Gemeinschaften durch Feindschaft nach Außen begünstigt wird. Diese simpel wirkende Formel hat viele Facetten und wird deshalb in den jeweiligen Artikeln mit dem spezifischen Fokus auf Religion, Gewalt/Terrorismus und Minderheiten aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven analysiert, um sie sowohl komparativ als auch konnektiv auf den Prüfstand zu stellen.
