Religion in the Age of Re-Globalization : A Brief Introduction Hardback
by Roland Benedikter
Part of the Culture and Religion in International Relations series
Hardback
Description
This book provides a concise introduction into twenty-one trends that are transforming the role of religion and spirituality in “re-globalizing” societies.
In referring to processes of “re-globalization”, the book draws attention to profound ongoing changes in the patterns and mechanisms of contemporary globalization.
Inter- and transdisciplinary in its approach, clearly structured, and easy to read, the book analyzes the impact of religious self-understanding, rhetoric, and practice on five core fields: economics, politics, culture, demography, and technology.
In turn, it describes the effects of these five fields on religion and spirituality themselves. This book represents a broad, encompassing overview of the main transformations that religion is undergoing today.
Roland Benedikter combines a “big picture” approach with a keen attention to the details of specific case studies.
With its clear and accessible structure and timely examples, this book is ideally suited for students of international relations and religious studies, and will also appeal to researchers engaged in those fields and to interested general readers.
The book is also apt to serve as an encompassing basis for contemporary debates in civil society, including both grassroots and expert discussions.
