Outcomes

• Contrary to the popular belief that modernity would lead to the refusal of faith, we have seen a global resurgence of religion and strengthening of faith-based groups. This ever-growing chasm between the sacred and the secular is one of the most important determinants of contemporary International Relations. This leads us to some of the most important yet basic questions. What is religion? What is the role of religion in global politics? How have religion, secularization and modernity shaped global political landscape? What do we mean by the global resurgence of religion and faith groups? How does religion impact debates around identity politics, migration, integration and conflict? In a nutshell, the course is anticipated to familiarize learners to an increasingly significant query: what is the relationship between religion and politics in the study of IR? By addressing the questions students will gain insight into the contemporary impact of religions on politics around the world. This is not a theology course, nor does it focus on any particular believe system. Finally, the course also aims to help students develop their critical thinking, reading, writing, and academic research skills. Religion in International Relations course will be taught from the identity and International Relations perspective.
