Religious Appeals in Power Politics delves into the intricate ways in which states employ, or strive to employ, confessional appeals to religious belief and conscience to further their political objectives. Through comprehensive case studies of the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, Peter S. Henne compellingly illustrates that religion, though not as prominently showcased or extensively resourced as economic sanctions or threats of military force, remains a formidable weapon in the realm of international relations.
In the realm of public policy analysis, religion tends to be downplayed, with a preference given to military or economic matters as the primary focal points of policy debate. However, as Henne astutely demonstrates, at pivotal moments in political history, states resort to faith-based appeals to either consolidate or fragment international coalitions. Henne's analysis highlights significant instances such as Saudi Arabia's historical rivalry with Egypt in the 1960s, the United States' post-9/11 leadership in the global war on terrorism, and the Russian Federation's contemporary expansionism, all of which serve to unveil the presence and influence of calls for religious unity while simultaneously emphasizing the potential uncertainties and anxieties these appeals can engender.
Religious Appeals in Power Politics presents a daring challenge to those who view religion as merely incidental to military or economic power. It underscores the profound significance of religion as a driving force in shaping global politics and highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of its role in shaping international relations.
