Is religion a force for good or evil in world politics? How much
influence does it have? Despite predictions of its decline,
religion has resurged in political influence across the globe,
helped by the very forces that were supposed to bury it: democracy,
globalization, and technology. And despite recent claims that
religion is exclusively irrational and violent, its political
influence is in fact diverse, sometimes promoting civil war and
terrorism but at other times fostering democracy, reconciliation,
and peace. Looking across the globe, the authors explain what
generates these radically divergent behaviors. In a time when the
public discussion of religion is overheated, these dynamic young
scholars use deeply original analysis and sharp case studies to
show us both how and why religion s influence on global politics is
surging. Finally they offer concrete suggestions on how to both
confront the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities
posed by globally resurgent religion."
