Media, Religion and Conflict (Religion and International Security)

International Relations as a discipline has largely ignored the role of religion in shaping international events. The growth of Islamist militancy, the increasing influence of the Christian Right on US foreign policy and George Bush's war on terror changed this for good. Now more than ever we need to analyse this change and consider how religion, and the way it is represented and played out through the media, affects international politics. In Media, Religion and Conflict, editors Marsden and Savigny uniquely bring together some of the leading figures in the fields of 'politics and media', 'international relations and security' and International relations and religion' to produce a series of case studies reflecting on how the media covers religion as conflict within and between states. This timely volume challenges readers to critically examine how media reportage and commentary influences perceptions and responses to religion and security. Book jacket.
