Unbranded Religion and the Realist Tradition sku-20974445

Unbranded sku-20974445 is a new English-language hardcover in Religion & Religious Studies Books and the Routledge Studies in Religion and Politics series. Its title is Religion and the Realist Tradition: From Political Theology to International Relations Theory and Back. ISBN: 9780415529433.

It includes black-and-white illustrations and line drawings and is intended for a college or higher education audience. The contributors examine how religion and religious worldviews affect Realism in international relations theory, and how Realism can address religious issues in world politics.

They consider classical Realist thinkers, who rarely discussed religion explicitly, alongside present-day authors writing about ethical and normative questions after 9/11. The chapters connect theory with political problems and consider how Realism might change to account for religion.
