This book examines the role religion plays in inteational relations as well as why this role has been ignored until now by inteational relations theorists. Fox and Sandler argue that while religion is not the driving force in world politics, inteational relations cannot be understood without taking religion into account. Religious legitimacy influences policy makers and their constituents; local religious phenomena, especially religious conflicts, cross borders; many transnational issues like human rights and population control have religious components. The authors also examine Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations, " which touches indirectly upon the role of religion in current world politics, and provide insights into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Jonathan Fox has contributed to Bringing Religion Into Inteational Relations as an author. Jonathan Fox received his PhD in Govement and Politics from the University of Maryland in 1997 and is currently a Lecturer in the Political Studies Department of Bar Ilan University (Ramat Gan, Israel). His research interests include the role of religion in conflict, inteational relations, and politics, as well as issues of separation of religion and state. He has published numerous articles on these topics in jouals as well as his recent book Ethnoreligious Conflict in the Late Twentieth Century.
