Although emerging scholarship in the social sciences suggests that
religion can be a potential catalyst of cosmopolitanism and global
citizenship, few attempts have been made to bring to the fore new
theoretical positions and empirical analyses of how cosmopolitanism
-- as a philosophical notion, a practice and identity outlook --
can also shape and inform concrete religious affiliations. Key
questions concerning the significance of cosmopolitan ideas and
practices - in relation to particular religious experiences and
discourses -- remain to be explored, both theoretically and
empirically. This book takes as its starting point the emergence of
cosmopolitanism -- as a major interdisciplinary field -- as a
springboard for generating a productive dialogue among scholars
working within a variety of intellectual disciplines and
methodological traditions. The chapter contributions offer a
serious attempt to critically engage both the limitations and
possibilities of cosmopolitanism as an analytical and critical tool
to understand a changing religious landscape in a globalizing
world, namely, the so-called 'new religious diversity', religious
conflict, and issues of migration, multiculturalism and
transnationalism vis-a-vis the public exercise of religion. The
contributors' work is situated in a range of world sites in Africa,
India, North America, Latin America, and Europe. This work will be
of great interest to students and scholars of globalization,
religion and politics, and the sociology of religion.
