Social Work & Social Economy

The series ”Religion – Wirtschaft – Politik“ (Religion–Economy–Politics) provides a platform for academic publications by the Centre for Religion, Economy and Politics (www.zrwp.ch ), a joint venture by the Universities of Basel, Fribourg, Lausanne, Lucerne, Zurich, and the Collegium Helveticum. The ZRWP aims to analyse the interactions between religion, economy, and politics in an inter- and transdisciplinary way by encouraging innovative research on religion. By publishing monographs and edited volumes focused on content and methods, the series contributes to a better understanding and explanation of religion in society at a local, regional, national, and transnational level in a globalizing world.

As soon as assessments or classifications are developed, tested and introduced with binding effect, or evaluations of care services are carried out, statistical methods come into play. This presupposes that their application is methodologically reflected on and that individual procedures can be varied according to the issue at hand. This series allows us the scope to do this and publishes monographs and anthologies on this subject area.
