RELIGION, CONFLICT, AND GLOBAL SOCIETY: A Festschrift Celebrating Mark Juergensm
This book celebrates the outstanding lifetime achievement of Mark Juergensmeyer and his contributions to the study of religious violence, peace and conflict, and global studies. It throws light on scholarly debates where Juergensmeyer has contributed major insights and pushed important conversations forwards. With essays written by 22 leading scholars from various disciplines and across different regions, the book testifies to the breadth of his reach and achievements. It also shows ways in which concepts developed by Juergensmeyer and his approach to the study of religious dimensions of armed conflict, terrorism and civil society have had a lasting impact on a wide set of scholarly discussions within sociology, theology, political science, international relations, peace and conflict studies, as well as in Sikh and South Asia studies. Aside from being a celebration on the occasion of Juergensmeyer’s retirement, this book offers an easily accessible overview of scholarly approaches for students and academics interested in contemporary debates on religious violence, and conflict in a global world.
