宗教、政治和社会

Since the 1990s, religious issues have assumed a growing importance in national and international political affairs.This was dramatically highlighted by the September 11, 2001 attacks
and the events that have followed since. This situation has obliged
scholars of politics to take religion seriously while scholars of
religion have to address theological topics that intersect with
political issues.Whether it is a ‘theological’ topic within political sciences or a
‘political’ topic within theology and the study of religion, both
disciplines are being challenged: theologians often lack an adequate
grounding in political science, and scholars of political science have
not received formal training in religious studies. The main goal of the masters is to provide students an advanced level
understanding of the conceptual debates about the role of religion in
contemporary global politics at a time when religion plays more than
ever a major role in the politics of nation-states and the development
of the international system.
