Abstract: There is no issue or incident that is only about religious freedom. Especially in restrictive environments, it is imperative to understand religious freedom in the context of: global trends; the geo-politics of the region; the national narrative; ethnic majority-minority relations; economic and educational development policies (especially for ethno- and/or religious minorities); and how the culture and majority religion historically and currently understands the “other.” The Institute for Global Engagement attempts to account for these factors as it promotes sustainable environments for religious freedom. It works to build religious freedom from the “inside out”—engaging government officials and religious leaders in the country of particular concern.
