- This chapter shifts the focus to one of the overarching questions of the book on therole of faith-based organisations (FBOs) in dealing with the plight of young peopleat the margins in the selected South African and Nordic localities. The case studiesshow that FBOs have an important supportive function for many young peopleliving on the margins of society, even though they may play only a limited rolein fighting youth marginalisation in their respective local communities. Only fewFBO activities were directed pointedly at changing the situation of marginalisedyoung people. This does not mean that the FBOs did not help young people inneed; yet how they did this differed considerably between the Nordic and SouthAfrican contexts – and between metropolitan and rural or more remote areas. FBOsfunctioned as a spiritual and social resource, or sometimes even as the last safetynet, hence meeting the most acute existential needs of young people. At the sametime, however, they were not engaged in more systematic attempts to empowermarginalised young people. These similarities, differences and tensions evinced inthe results from the six case studies demanded deeper analysis and interpretation.

A Risk or a Resource? : A Study of the Swedish State’s Shifting Perception and Handling of Minority Religious Communities between 1952-2019
- 2021

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In Sweden, as in many other European countries, governments and other public authorities increasingly seem to view religious communities as an important resource that should be included in welfare provision and help combat problems that societies are facing, thereby intentionally or unintentionally bringing religion back into the public arena. However, religious communities also seem to be perceived as a risk and a problem that needs to be further regulated and controlled. Given these conflicting signals, the aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the contradictory and contested perspective of religion in the public realm today by describing, analysing and discussing changes in the Swedish state’s perception and handling of minority religious communities between 1952 and 2019. The point of departure is an assumption that the state has a central role in setting the terms and conditions that both enable and limit what religious communities can do, thus shaping the function and role of religion in the public realm. The studied governments documents have been analysed through a mix-method approach meaning that both an automated content analysis and an idea-analysis have been performed. A theoretical framework including theories regarding the governance of religious diversity and civil society state relations is used to analyse the material. The results show that the priorities of the state have been central in governing minority religious communities throughout the studied time period. Also, although the issue has become a new policy concern in the late 1990s, many of the recent controversies concerning minority religious communities are not new. Rather, such controversies are indicative of an ongoing story of Sweden’s handling of religious diversity. The conflicting view of minority religious communities today seems therefore to be deeply embedded in the inherent tensions of the Swedish social contract.
