Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Western
nationshave increasingly recognized religion as a consideration in
domesticand foreign policy. In this empirical comparison of the
securitization ofIslam in Britain, France, and the United States,
Robert M. Bosco arguesthat religion is a category of phenomena
defined by the discourses andpolitics of both religious and state
elites. Despite significant theoretical distinctions between
securitization onthe domestic and the international levels, he
finds that the outcomeof addressing religion within the context of
security hinges uponpartnerships. Whereas states may harness the
power of internationalallies, they cannot often find analogous
domestic allies; therefore,states that attempt to securitize
religion at home are more vulnerableto counterattack and more
likely to abandon their efforts. Securing theSacred makes a
significant contribution to the fields of political
theory,international relations, Islamic studies, and
security/military studies.
