Politics and religion in the new century contains a collection of philosophical reflections on the intersection of religion and the political in contemporary social, political and intellectual life.

That is, its social, political and ethical significance. This collection provides important insights for those interested in: philosophy, religious studies, politics, human rights, globalisation, social theory, ethics, sociology, political economy, government, anthropology, contemporary culture, and issues of justice and power generally
