WWS 556C - Topics in International Relations - Secularism, Religion and Politics

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

The enduring presence of religion is one of the most intriguing characteristics of modern politics. A range of factors including the pluralization of societies, questioning of Enlightenment assumptions about religion and secularism, and a sense of urgency among policymakers in a post-9/11 world have set in motion a re-evaluation of long-standing research programs based on the assumption that religion is easily defined and will decline or disappear. This seminar on secularism, religion, and the politics of modernity is part of this re-evaluation.
