The Internationalization of Religious Affairs
Abstract
The relationship between politics and religion has historically been characterized by its tension and complexity. Contrary to the thesis of secularism, religions have not disappeared; rather, they are said to have “returned from exile”. Recent consistent studies and initiatives have addressed new dynamics of religious actors in global governance. These new dynamics open new intersections between politics, law, and religions on the international and global stage. This article analyzes some of these dynamics that show, on the one hand, the internationalization of religious affairs; and, on the other hand, the role of religious actors in global governance to face global challenges.
