Religious concerns stand at the center of international
politics, yet key paradigms in international relations, namely
realism, liberalism, and constructivism, barely consider religion
in their analysis of political subjects. The essays in this
collection rectify this. Authored by leading scholars, they
introduce models that integrate religion into the study of
international politics and connect religion to a rising form of
populist politics in the developing world.
Contributors identify religion as pervasive and distinctive,
forcing a reframing of international relations theory that
reinterprets traditional paradigms. One essay draws on both realism
and constructivism in the examination of religious discourse and
transnational networks. Another positions secularism not as the
opposite of religion but as a comparable type of worldview drawing
on and competing with religious ideas. With the secular state's
perceived failure to address popular needs, religion has become a
banner for movements that demand a more responsive government. The
contributors to this volume recognize this trend and propose
structural and theoretical innovations for future advances in the
discipline.
