This book describes how the global resurgence of culture and religion in international relations is transforming our understanding of IR theory, and some of the key policy-related issue areas in world politics. It is evident in the on-going debates over the "root causes" of 9/11 that there are many scholars, journalists, and members of the public, who still believe culture and religion can be explained away by appeals to more "basic" economic, social, or political forces in society. Therefore, this book presents an argument for taking culture - and, particularly, religion - as social forces that are important for understanding world politics in the post-Westphalian era.
