Recenzje

For roughly 20 years now there has been a growing debate over the global religious resurgence, or religion's 'return from exile' in International Relations. Michael D. Driessen's The Global Politics of Interreligious Dialogue helps to reframe this argument by focusing on a variety of case studies in interreligious dialogue, often not well known, and links them to some of the everyday policy issues confronting everyone in the region on education, citizenship, and development. In this way, the book contributes a religious dimension to the 'practice turn' in International Relations theory, and to understanding new, positive religious forms of institutionalization in International Relations in the twenty-first century.
