The book reveals the nexus between religion and politics today and
shows that we live in an interdependent world where one global
civilization is emerging and where the world's peoples are
continuing to coalesce around a series of values that contain
potent Western overtones. Both Putin's Orthodox Russia and regions
under the control of such Islamist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda
resent and attempt, in a largely languishing effort, to frustrate
this series of values. The book explains the current tension
between the West and Russia and parts of the Muslim world and sheds
light on the causes of such crises as the Syrian Civil War,
Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and acts of terrorism such as
9/11 and the ISIS-inspired massacres in Paris. It shows that
religion continues to affect global order and that knowledge of its
effect on political identity and global governance should guide
both government policy and scholarly analysis of contemporary
history.
