Qualifying post-Westphalian sovereign statehood as a 'power' as
argued for in Hendrik Berkhoff's political theology, this book
addresses the decades-long theological-spiritual debate between
Christian realism and Christian pacifism in U.S. foreign policy and
global Christian circles. It approaches the debate by delving into
the pacifist Anabaptist political theology and delineates
empirically how sovereign statehood in post-colonial Africa and
Asia has fallen into the hands of the devil Satan, as a 'fallen
power' in the Foucaultian terms of power structures, techniques and
episteme. While the book offers intervention schemes and options,
it holds that Christian statecraft remains the source of hope to
effectively address a number of serious global issues. By
extension, the book is thus an invitation to ignite debates on the
suitability of Christian statecraft and the nexus between
spirituality and world politics, making it especially interesting
for scholars and students in the fields of International Politics,
Politics of Asian and African States, Post-colonial Studies and
Political Theology.
