E-Books →Religion, Conflict and Post-Secular Politics

The book is divided into two parts. Section 1 examines the controversial issue of how, why and when religious actors affect democratisation - that is, the transition to democracy - and democracy itself. These chapters examine the impact of religion on democratisation and human rights, with particular attention to secularisation, Islam, and globalisation. They indicate that numerous religious actors have had major importance in helping determine democratisation outcomes in various countries. Section 2 examines the relationships between religion, human rights and civilisational interactions in the context of post-secular politics and links to conflict, and it explores how these relationships affect political outcomes in both domestic and international contexts.
