Nations under God: The Geopolitics of Faith in the Twenty-First Century (E-IR Edited Collections)

Nations under God is a timely contribution to the on-going discussion on religion and politics. Utilising case studies, empirical investigations, and theoretical examinations, this book focuses on the complex roles that religions play in world affairs. It seeks to move beyond the simplistic narratives and overly impassioned polemics which swamp the discourse on the subject in the media, on the internet, and in popular nonfiction, by acting as a vessel for scholarly research on religion.
