Full Module Description
Too often today religion seem to be at the centre of a global geopolitical scenario of insecurity. Is this, however, a fair picture? How should we understand the resurgence of religions in global politics beyond the news headlines?
In this module, drawing on a mix of theories and case-studies, we will challenge the reading of religion as the ultimate threat to international stability; you will engage with the debate over secularism and understand how policymakers are responding to this new role of religion by discussing the implications for foreign policy, development, human rights and peacebuilding.
