Religions, Cultures and Civilisations in International Relations (957M1)
30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)
Spring teaching
On this module, you will will explore the implications of the ‘return’ of religions, cultures and civilisations for world politics and for thinking about international relations. Many sociologists and philosophers have interpreted this return as ‘the end of modernity’ or the ‘de-secularisation of the world’.
You will focus on the renewed centrality of cultural, religious and civilisational identities as strategic frames of reference for politics in the post-Cold War world.
