Religion in International Relations : The Return from Exile Paperback / softback
by F. Petito, P. Hatzopoulos
Part of the Culture and Religion in International Relations series
Paperback / softback
Description
Are the secular foundations of international relations sustainable at present?
This comprehensive study shows how the global resurgence of religion confronts international relations theory with a theoretical challenge comparable to that raised by the end of the Cold War or the emergence of globalization.
The volume tries to shake the secular foundational myths of the discipline and outline the need for an expansion into religiously inspired spheres of thought.
It also challenges the most condemning accusation against religion: the view that the politicization of religion is always a threat to security and inimical to the resolution of conflict.
Finally, the task of demystifying religion is taken further with an argument for a stronger and "progressive" political engagement of the worldwide religious traditions in the contemporary globalized era.
