Saeidnia S.A. auteur aut IRD Ruiz de Elvira Laura auteur aut IRD text bookSection eng text/pdf born digital access Since the 1990s, in the context of states' reconfiguration, beneficence has become a powerful ethic and repertoire of action that spans all social spaces. A growing number of actors resort to this notion while claiming to act for 'the good' of the 'poor,' the 'weak 'or 'the dependent'. In this chapter, we argue that the study of beneficence, understood as a socio-historically constructed realm of encounters and conflicts, offers a stimulating point of entry into understanding contemporary social policies in the Islamic world. We first highlight the complex and ever changing relations between the 'doing good' actors and practices and the State and then explore the multiple logics that their everyday interactions may generate. specialized SYRIE IRAN LIBAN EGYPTE 106PROSO 112RELIG 095DEVEL 114VIPOL Tajmazinani A.A. ed. edt IRD 63-82 Cham Palgrave Macmillan 2020 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010096553 10.1007/978-3-030-57753-7_4 978-3-030-57752-0 [F B010096553] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010096553 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2026-02/010096553.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2026-02-05 2026-02-12 fdi:010096553 fre
