Syllabus Description:
This course explores the intersection of religion and politics. We will begin by exploring several major theoretical perspectives that social scientists have used to explain how religious groups operate within politics, and then we will examine how each of these perspectives expose different dimensions of political activity by religious groups in a variety of different political regimes and cultural contexts. Students will be evaluated based on their participation in class discussion, a midterm, a final exam, and a final paper that they will work on over the course of the quarter.
