As religion and politics become ever more intertwined,
relationships between religion and political parties are of
increasing global political significance. This handbook responds to
that development, providing important results of current research
involving religion and politics, focusing on: democratisation,
democracy, party platform formation, party moderation and
secularisation, social constituency representation and interest
articulation. Covering core issues, new debates, and country case
studies, the handbook provides a comprehensive overview of
fundamentals and new directions in the subject. Adopting a
comparative approach, it examines the relationships between
religion and political parties in a variety of contexts, regions
and countries with a focus on Christianity, Islam, Buddhism,
Judaism and Hinduism. Contributions cover such topics as: religion,
secularisation and modernisation; religious fundamentalism and
terrorism; the role of religion in conflict resolution and
peacebuilding; religion and its connection to state,
democratisation and democracy; and regional case studies covering
Asia, the Americas, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and
North Africa. This comprehensive handbook provides crucial
information for students, researchers and professionals researching
the topics of politics, religion, comparative politics, secularism,
religious movements, political parties and interest groups, and
religion and sociology.
