The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Politics in Europe is an outstanding reference source to this engaging subject area. A number of developments at the intersection between religion and politics in Europe, including the terrorist attacks echoing that of 9/11, the rise of the far right and populism linked to anti‑Islamic rhetoric in the context of migration of Muslims into Europe, and a series of controversies to do with free speech and hate speech, have served as a catalyst for a surge in interdisciplinary scholarship. The relationships between religion and politics are increasingly recognised as central to our understanding of contemporary European life and are investigated from a growing variety of approaches and perspectives. Comprising 31 chapters by a team of international contributors, this handbook is divided into three parts:Theoretical underpinnings and methodological perspectivesActors, policies, and institutionsEmerging themes and current debatesWithin these sections, central issues, debates, and problems to religion and politics are examined, including: migration, religion in the city, digital religion, environmentalism, humour, celebrity and leadership, activism, authority, citizenship, mediatisation, secularism, judicialisation, marketisation, political economy, security, European parliament, human rights, party politics, populism, feminism, political violence, hate speech, bioethics, pandemics and health, cults, race, equality, and inequality. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Politics in Europe is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies and politics. This handbook will also be very useful for those in related fields, such as cultural studies, media studies, anthropology, and sociology.
