Religion features prominently in the international relations of many states around the world today. Whether mobilizing religious affinities as a form of public diplomacy, positioning religion as a force to counteract perceived ideological foes, or creating transnational networks of religious populism to support incumbent regimes--governments clearly perceive geopolitical utility in the power of religion. Join us for a discussion of the new Oxford University Press edited volume, The Geopolitics of Religious Soft Power. Leading scholar of religion and international relations Jocelyne Cesari, will moderate a discussion featuring the book's editor as well as one of the contributing authors. Volume editor Peter Mandaville (George Mason University) will discuss the global context in which major powers such as Russia, China, and India have incorporated aspects of religion into their external relations. Contributor Stacey Gutkowski (King’s College London) will talk about the religious backdrop to current developments in the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East including the current violence in Palestine and Israel.
MODERATOR: Jocelyne Cesari, PANELISTS: Peter Mandaville and Stacey Gutkowski.
