This volume approaches the UN as a laboratory of religio-political
value politics. Over the last two decades religion has acquired
increasing influence in international politics, and religious
violence and terrorism has attracted much scholarly attention. But
there is another parallel development which has gone largely
unnoticed, namely the increasing political impact of peaceful
religious actors. With several religious actors in one place and
interacting under the same conditions, the UN is as a
multi-religious society writ small. The contributors to this book
analyse the most influential religious actors at the UN (including
The Roman Catholic Church; The Organisation of Islamic Countries;
the Russian Orthodox Church). Mapping the peaceful political
engagements of religious actors; who they are and how they
collaborate with each other - whether on an ad hoc basis or by
forming more permanent networks - throwing light at the modus
operandi of religious actors at the UN; their strategies and
motivations. The chapters are closely interrelated through the
shared focus on the UN and common theoretical perspectives, and
pursue two intertwined aspects of religious value politics, namely
the whys and hows of cross-religious cooperation on the one hand,
and the interaction between religious actors and states on the
other. Drawing together a broad range of experts on religious
actors, this work will be of great interest to students and
scholars of Religion and Politics, International Relations and the
UN.
