God's Century: Resurgent Religion and Global Politics (Norton Series in World Politics)

Discover the changing relationship between faith and international affairs in God's Century: Resurgent Religion and Global Politics by Monica Duffy Toft, Daniel Philpott, and Timothy Samuel Shah.

Part of the Norton Series in World Politics, this thought-provoking nonfiction book examines why religion continues to influence political movements, international conflicts, and peacebuilding efforts worldwide.

Challenging predictions that modernization would diminish religious influence, the authors investigate how democracy, globalization, and technology have contributed to religion's renewed political importance.

Through international case studies, they examine religion's contrasting roles in civil war, terrorism, democratic development, reconciliation, and peace.

Combining political analysis with historical and contemporary examples, the book offers readers a balanced examination of the relationship between religious beliefs and political behaviour.

Featuring 10 black-and-white illustrations, God's Century is an informative resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in political science, international relations, religious studies, world history, and global affairs.
