REL 69 Religion and World Politics

Modernization theorists confidently predicted that religion would cease to be a matter of public concern and would become limited to individual and private spheres by the end of the twentieth century. The Iranian Revolution put an end to such speculation. This course examines the relationship between religious pluralism and political affairs in European, African, and Asian nations. Case studies will include Northern Ireland, Nigeria, South Africa, the Middle East, and India.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
