This collection of papers is the product of a conference sponsored by Westminster and Koeceli Universities. The topic of globalisation, religion and development sparked much interest and debate prompting the conference organisers to make a selection of the conference papers available in printed form. On behalf of those who attended the conference I would like to thank Dr. Farhang Morady and Dr. Ismail Siriner for their hard work in setting up the conference and in bringing this collection to fruition. The papers have been arranged in three sections: Globalisation, Religion and Development; Gender and Development; and Case Studies in Development.
