Political Science of Religion

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of religion and politics, this book presents a political science framework that views religion as a political ideology that legitimizes power and shapes public attitudes. It examines religious organizations as active political players, negotiating within political systems to achieve faith-based goals. Through case studies of Poland and the USA, the author analyzes how religious actors influence both democratic and non-democratic regimes, revealing their significant political potential and strategies across different governance contexts.
