"In recent years, the role of religion in the study and conduct of international affairs
has become increasingly important. The essays in this volume seek to question and
remedy the problematic neglect of religion in extant scholarship, grappling with puzzles,
issues, and questions concerning religion and world affairs in six major areas. Contributors
critically revisit the "secularization thesis," which proclaimed the steady erosion
of religion's public presence as an effect of modernization; explore the relationship
between religion, democracy, and the juridico-political discourse of human rights;
assess the role of religion in fomenting, ameliorating, and redressing violent conflict;
and consider the value of religious beliefs, actors, and institutions to the delivery
of humanitarian aid and the fostering of socio-economic development. Finally, the
volume addresses the representation of religion in the expanding global media landscape,
the unique place of religion in American foreign policy, and the dilemmas it presents.
Drawing on the work of leading scholars as well as policy makers and analysts, Rethinking
Religion and World Affairs is the first comprehensive and authoritative guide to the
interconnections of religion and global politics."--Publisher's website
