There is a growing realization among international relations
scholars and practitioners that religion is a critical factor in
global politics. The Iranian Revolution, the September 11 attacks,
the ethno-religious conflicts such as the ones in the former
Yugoslavia and Sri Lanka are among the many reasons for this
increased focus on religion in international affairs. The rise of
religious political parties across the world ranging from the
Christian Democrats in Europe to Bharatiya Janata Party in India
similarly illustrated religion's heightened international profile.
Despite all this attention, it is challenging to situate religion
within a discipline which has been dominantly secular from its
inception. Only a few existent works have ventured to integrate
religion into core international relations theories such as
Classical Realism, Neorealism, Neoliberalism, Constructivism and
the English school. This work is the first systematic attempt to
comparatively assess the place of religion in the aforementioned
theoretical strands of international relations with contemporary
examples from around the world. Written in an accessible and
systematic fashion, this book will be an important addition to the
fields of both religion and international relations. Nukhet A.
