Religion as an Issue in Politics - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The volume covers various aspects of world politics in which religion has been influential, especially since the end of the Cold War. Since that time, religious political parties have become more vocal and ethno-religious conflicts with worldwide ramifications have taken their place in foreign policy agendas of states. Even in secular contexts, debates surrounding health, environment, and human rights now include a religious dimension. The collection of essays from prominent scholars probes the much debated relationship between religion and politics in multiple contexts including Africa, Latin America, East Asia, Western Europe, and the Middle East.
