The Global Resurgence of Religion and the Transformation of International Relations

More about the book

Focusing on the impact of culture and religion on international relations, this book argues for their significance in shaping global politics, particularly in the post-Westphalian era. It critiques the tendency to dismiss these factors in favor of economic or political explanations, especially in discussions surrounding events like 9/11. By emphasizing the resurgence of religion and cultural identity, it seeks to transform conventional international relations theory and address key policy issues in contemporary world politics.
