Religion, politics, society, and the state

This book focuses on the role of religion in politics in several distinctive ways. First, and perhaps most importantly, it recognizes and emphasizes that religion interacts with politics on multiple levels. These influences may be divided into the influence of the state and the influence of society on politics. Second, this volume covers multiple countries in major world regions. The chapters cover the United States, Israel, Turkey, and Northern Ireland, North Africa, and Western Europe, and two chapters include information from the entire world. It also examines multiple contexts in which religion and politics interact, including the influence of individuals, social groupings, institutions, and the state. These essays feature wide coverage of different topics, relevant theories, and different world regions. All of the contributors have published extensively in prominent refereed journals on the topic of religion and politics.
