Conclusion.This book offers a comparative examination of Islamic welfare activities across urban areas in both Switzerland and Italy, in order to address general issues relating to the welfare engagement of Islamic organisations in Europe. Welfare Activities by New Religious Actors describes how Islamic organisations have been coordinated and structured in Geneva, Milan, Rome, and Zurich; four cities not yet analysed in the literature on Islamic welfare. It also explores the institutional opportunities and constraints are able to influence forms of social religious activities at the local and international level by bringing together two research fields that seldom speak to each other: social network analysis and political opportunity theory. This book will appeal to scholars of Sociology, Anthropology and Religious Studies dealing with the social and political inclusion of Muslims in Europe and the social activities of Islamic organisations in Western countries.Palgrave Politics of Identity and Citizenship SeriesWelfare stateSocial structureEqualityPolitical sociologyEurope—Politics and governmentPolitics of the Welfare Statehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33050Social Structure, Social Inequalityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010Political Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170European Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911130Welfare state.Social structure.Equality.Political sociology.Europe—Politics and government.Politics of the Welfare State.Social Structure, Social Inequality.Political Sociology.European Politics.361.65Banfi Elisaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut321100BOOK9910300857303321Welfare Activities by New Religious Actors2218323UNINA
