The class is designed to offer students an opportunity to compare the role of religion in politics across the globe. This course will look into the different ways societies define the relationship between the two. The class will examine the role of religious ideas, institutions and movements in shaping political discourse and electoral processes, comparing case studies in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. This includes a close look at the political behavior of religious people and how individuals, groups, and denominations interact with governments and other actors in the political arena. Also included is a discussion of the political participation of religious minorities. |
