Conclusion: religion, democratization and secularization | ||
in Democratization , vol. 16, n. 6, December, Special Issue: “Religion and Democratizations” , 2009 , 1282-1291 | ||
The overarching theme of this special issue was the attempts by various religious actors - Christian, Muslim, and Jewish - to try to assert their values and pursue their goals in variable political circumstances. We saw that they sought to do this in contexts characterized not only by secularization and political changes, some of which emanate from within countries, but also as a result of external pressures, often a consequence of globalization. | ||
