Module description

This is an introductory module designed for students studying the BA Sociology, Politics and Religion. It offers a global introduction to comparative politics, focusing on case studies of politics and religion around the world. The module introduces students to approaches to analysing and critiquing the way in which secular and religious issues are negotiated in institutions such as government, religious hierarchies, and civil society. Moreover, the module develops students' broader understandings of how power, conflict, and identities are conceived in the modern, globalised world. Topics can include religion-state relations, identity politics, religion and violence, and various international case studies of political participation and mobilisation.
