Description
This book explores the troubled relationship between religion and democracy, focusing in particular on two questions. Firstly, how has religion engaged with the democratization processes that have taken place over the last thirty years? And how, if at all, might they contribute towards the deepening of democracy in the future?
Chapters explore the ways in which religious ideas have been used to undermine authoritarian regimes and religious institutions have provided the basis for resistance to such regimes.
This book was previously published as a special issue of the journal "Democratization."
