Abstract

Since the post-World War II era, international development has been dominated by a modernization paradigm grounded in secular rationality, positioning it as a technocratic, growth-oriented project that neglects the religious dimension. However, global dynamics indicate a revitalization of religion in the public sphere (deprivatization), which has triggered a post-secular turn and demands the integration of religious values into development. Religion, in the context of the Global South, has proven to be an important framework for understanding poverty and social practices, as well as a source of legitimacy and moral capital. This article critically examines Gerard Clarke's work "Religion and International Development" using a critical literature review approach that combines theories of secularization, post-secularism, and capability approaches. The findings indicate that religious integration reconfigures understandings of development actors and global governance through the strategic role of faith-based organizations. However, this engagement also carries the risk of exclusion and the politicization of identity. This article argues that the religious turn reflects an epistemological shift toward a post-secular development paradigm, where religion is understood as part of normative negotiations in global governance. Therefore, an inclusive, contextually grounded interdisciplinary approach is needed to manage the relationships among religion, the state, and the market in contemporary global development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of religious tourism at Makam Mama Sempur on the economic well-being of the local community and how social and economic transformations occur due to the increasing number of pilgrims. Employing a qualitative research approach with a descriptive-analytical method and field study, this research explores the dynamics of community-based economic shifts. The findings reveal that religious tourism has created new economic opportunities, allowing residents to transition from precarious employment to entrepreneurship, thereby improving their standard of living. Drawing on microeconomic and socio-economic theories, the study highlights that the sustainability of this sector depends on social capital and the implementation of inclusive management strategies. The study concludes that religious tourism serves not only as a spiritual practice but also as a catalyst for local economic growth. However, its sustainability requires careful attention to environmental management and the equitable distribution of economic benefits.
