• 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.
