The Resurgence of Religion in Politics
Religious fervor is growing, reshaping the identities and actions of an increasingly large number of people around the world, from Africa to the Americas. This series will offer insights on faith and international politics today from the world's leading experts, who will explore the following questions:
What does this mix of faith-based and pluralistic politics mean for the future?
Is the current resurgence of religion in the modern world an attempt to harness traditional moral and ethical resources for contemporary use, or is there something more going on?
Does a more religious world inevitably mean a more divided world?
Can religious language and community be harnessed as a force for peace?1
Can pluralism prevail in the face of rising tides of faith-based politics and against a background where religious extremism threatens?(1)
If you are interested in these issues, efforts, proposing other projects, or if you want to just work on one or all of them, please e-mail José M O'Brien
