Description
Summary:Over the last thirty years, governments across the globe have formalised new relationships with religious communities through their domestic and foreign policies and have variously sought to manage, support, marginalise, and coopt religious forces through them. Many scholars view these policies as evidence of the 'return of religion' to global politics although there is little consensus about the exact meaning, shape, or future of this political turn. In this book, Michael D. Driessen examines the growth of state-sponsored interreligious dialogue initiatives in the Middle East and their use as a policy instrument for engaging with religious communities and ideas.
