This volume defends the presumption of public benefit for the charitable category of 'advancement of religion' within democratic countries following the English common law tradition. In light of increasing academic and political pressures to reform charity law—particularly calls to revoke tax exemptions for religious charities—the contributors analyze legislative and legal developments in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. They also address fundamental sociological and philosophical questions regarding the role of religion in a secular society, which often seeks to marginalize religious communities. The book explores the relationship between the state and diverse beliefs, emphasizing that many religious actions contribute positively to society. This discussion intersects with broader themes of secularism, civic engagement, and liberal democratic freedoms. Historically, religion has been viewed as beneficial; however, recent suggestions to limit its charitable status stem from a belief that religion offers no broader societal benefit. This perspective is challenged throughout the text, highlighting that religion is both communal and holistic. The research presented underscores that spiritual faith and good works are deeply intertwined in religious communities, affirming the ongoing positive influence of religion in society.
Water Security in the Middle East explores the extent and nature of water security problems in transboundary water systems in the Middle East. This collection of essays discusses the political and scientific contexts and the limitations of cooperation in water security. The contributors argue that while conflicts over transboundary water systems in the Middle East do occur, they tend not to be violent nor have they ever been the primary cause of a war in this region. The authors place water disputes in larger political, historical and scientific contexts and discuss how the humanities and social sciences could contribute more towards this understanding. They also contend that international sharing of scientific and technological advances can significantly increase access to water and improve water quality. While scientific advances can and should increase adaptability to changing environmental conditions, especially climate change, national institutional reform and the strengthening of joint commissions are vital. The contributors indicate ways in which transboundary cooperation may move from simple and intermittent coordination to sophisticated, adaptive and equitable modes of water management.
