“…Haynes points out that globalization stimulates the growth of transnational religious networks. 41 Until the mid 1970s, the Muslims in Malawi were, apart from a couple of contacts, isolated from the worldwide Islamic community. With a president like Hastings Kamuzu Banda, who wanted to keep modernity on the other side of the border, this did not really change until 1994, when Bakili Muluzi came to power through a referendum.…”

This paper aims to explore the transnational aspects that have influenced ideological and organizational changes of Islam within Malawi. It is impossible to review these changes from an isolated position, like the national context. In order to truly understand the reasons and elements of change, the national situation of Islamic reformation in Malawi has to be placed within the context of worldwide Islamic reformation. Changes within the transnational arena have affected and influenced financial, social, political, ideological and cultural processes and organization in local situations. This paper presents an analysis of the Muslim community in Malawi beginning from a historical perspective working towards the economical, social and political situation of Muslims in Malawi today. It focuses on the transnational influences that have affected these changes in religious and social identification of a small group of reformist Muslims in Malawi.

“…No âmbito desta reavaliação da importância do fenômeno religioso, ao lado dos atores estatais e não estatais reconhecidos tradicionalmente como agentes influenciadores das dinâmicas internacionais, destacam-se de forma cada vez mais proeminente também os atores transnacionais religiosos que, de acordo com Haynes (2009), indubitavelmente afetam tanto a política interna que a política internacional dos Estados. Ao lado dos movimentos evangélicos norte-americanos, outros atores religiosos transnacionais são os movimentos islâmicos moderados ou extremistas, grupos nacionalistas hindus, fundamentalistas judeus, a Igreja Católica, entre outros.…”

“…Isso é possível apenas pela realidade atual da sociedade globalizante onde as barreiras de comunicação diminuíram e as redes nacionais em nível global não encontram grandes obstáculos, o que potencializa as capacidades destes atores transnacionais de ultrapassar as fronteiras dos Estados Nacionais e se tornar forças significativas que podem contribuir para moldar os acontecimentos internacionais (Haynes 2009). …”

“…However, the social and political landscapes of global civil society are quite fluid and continue to evolve as we move into the twenty-first century. It remains unclear to what degree civil society operates in reciprocity with governments and to what extend the expansion of civil society is a response to the increasingly precarious position of sovereign states (Haynes 2001). Political scientists, sociologists, and scholars of international develop ment are actively seeking to understand how various kinds of actors within civil society relate to one another in their efforts to address connected problems (De Temple 2013).…”

This paper presents basic empirical research about the role of religion and religious actors in the global politics of sustainability. Drawing on insights from three over lapping fields of study-environmental politics, religious transnationalism, and reli gion and ecology-this study analyzes data gathered through ethnographic interviews with representatives of religious non-governmental organizations at the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, known as Rio+20. These interviews asked respondents to discuss their understanding of the meaning, role, and posi tion of religion within civil society efforts to address sustainability concerns. Con tent analysis of interview responses suggests that religious actors hold divergent views about the salience of religion to global sustainability politics. The central finding is that the boundary between religious and secular civil society groups is a permeable one.
