This book seeks to argue that religious actors play a crucial role
in the complex processes of entering or re-entering the public
spheres of state, political, and civil society. Seeking to
ameliorate the analytical lacuna and concentrating on both the meso
and micro levels of religious public involvement, the contributors
explain how representatives from religious and political
institutions act and interact in a variety of ways for various
purposes. Analysing empirical examples from both Europe and beyond,
and including a variety of religions, including multi-faith
platforms, the volume examines selected religious actors'
objectives, means and strategies and effects in order to address
the following questions: * What are selected religious actors'
public and/or political activities and objectives? * In what ways
and with what results do selected religious actors operate in
various public spheres? * What are the consequences of religious
actors' political involvement, and which factors condition the
degree to which they are successful? Whilst focusing mainly on
Europe, the book also utilizes examples from Egypt, Turkey and the
USA to provide a valuable and unique comparative focus. The
contributors demonstrate that various religious actors, whether
functioning as interest groups or social movements, and almost
irrespective of the religious tradition to which they belong and
the culture from which they emanate, do not necessarily differ
markedly in terms of strategies. This important study will be of
great interest to all scholars of International Politics, Religion,
and Public Policy.
