The Politics of Secularism in International Relations (Princeton Studies in International History and Politics)

The Politics of Secularism in International Relations is a groundbreaking book that challenges traditional assumptions about religion and politics.

Elizabeth Shakman Hurd argues that secularist divisions between religion and politics are not fixed, but socially and historically constructed.

This book provides a powerful alternative to existing approaches to religion and international relations, developing a new approach that considers secularism as a form of political authority in its own right.

With two forms of secularism examined and their far-reaching global consequences described, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between religion and politics in today's world.
