Religion and Politics in the 21st Century [PDF ebook] 
Global and Local Reflections

Religion and Politics in the 21st Century is composed of a number of articles that were presented during the 2012 international conference on "Religion and Politics in the Globalization Era" organized by the Centre for Political Analysis in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.With careful attention given to 21st century religious resurgence and its dynamic interactions with political structures and the public sphere, the present volume captures a wide variety of perspectives on contemporary religion and politics, ranging from theoretical approaches to case studies and from analyzing global facets to exploring local situations.Its thematic richness and its careful exploration of not only present realities, but also of patterns of past interactions and of possible future directions, render this volume a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers and the general public as well.
