Religion, the Public, and International Order

The last two decades have seen massive productivity in literature tagged with generalized terms such as “religion”, “international relations (theory)”, “war”, “peace”, “order”, “culture”, “secularism” and the like. Scholars engaged with the role of religion in the public sphere have certainly been among the frontrunners of bringing religion and culture back into social science conversations. Most of them are trained in disciplines other than genuinely “religious” or “political” (that is, “social”) ones.
