Religion and International Relations Theory
Timothy Shah, Daniel Philpott, Monica Duffy Toft
June 23, 2011
Religious concerns stand at the center of international politics, yet key paradigms in international relations, namely realism, liberalism, and constructivism, barely consider religion in their analysis of political subjects. The essays in this collection attempt to rectify this gap in theory. Authored by leading scholars and edited by Jack Snyder, with contributions from Religious Freedom Project Associate Director Timothy Shah and Associate Scholars Daniel Philpott and Monica Duffy Toft, Religion and International Relations Theory introduces models that integrate religion into the study of international politics and connect religion to a rising form of populist politics in the developing world.
