A Canadian Covenant? Covenantal Pluralism and the Fate of a Dominion
Freedom of Religion or Belief amid Great Power Rivalry
Introduction
This introduction to the special themed issue on likelihood of success in the just war tradition introduces the problems associated with this prudential jus ad bellum principle, and summarizes the key findings and arguments of the articles in the issue. It concludes that the likelihood of success must be understood organically and cohesively, within the larger tradition, with a special emphasis on the practical applications for justice to which t…

The Coordinates of Covenantal Pluralism
The aim of this article is to map the plurality of pluralist theories, indicate and (hopefully) make sense of what the many important contributions explaining this resurgent notion have been to date, and finally locate “covenantal pluralism” in this developing conversation. The essay plots at least 11 models on a “pluralist quadrant” in order to help us understand their unique contributions to the pluralism debate. Finally, I aim to show in concl…
Finding Faith in Foreign Policy
Ten years ago Daniel Philpott asked, “Has the Study of Global Politics Found Religion?” in the Annual Review of Political Science. It was a tentative maybe. If Gregorio Bettiza's 2019 book on faith
A Just and Durable Peace? American Evangelicals and the Quest for Peace after WWII
The force of evangelical activism is now a well-known story in American politics, but its unity, coherence, and perspective are often taken for granted, or under-analyzed, particularly on global issues. In this article, I investigate the question of evangelical influence and perspective on global peace after World War II, focused in this case around the United Nations. Surveying, first, the diversity of the movement called evangelicalism in the l…
Abraham Kuyper among the Nations
Abraham Kuyper, Dutch Prime Minister (1901–1905) and modern Calvinist, was a controversial figure, not least in his foreign affairs. Yet while Kuyper's legacy has been felt in the world of religious, especially Christian, political, and social theory, very little has been made of Kuyper's actual record as a foreign policy maker and a Prime Minister. So, what was Kuyper's “Christian” perspective and policy on foreign affairs? Using newly available…

Anna Su. Exporting Freedom
Exporting Freedom: Religious Liberty and American Power discusses the history of American religious freedom advocacy, which is prone to polarization, often driven by political or ideological interests in the present day. We have, on the one hand, the “new critics,” as political scientist Daniel Philpott has called them. They include people like Elizabeth Shakman Hurd and Winnifred F. Sullivan, who tend to highlight the power and influence of reli…

How to Survive the Apocalypse
The world is going to hell. So begins this book, pointing to the prevalence of apocalypse -- cataclysmic destruction and nightmarish end-of-the-world scenarios -- in contemporary entertainment. In How to Survive the Apocalypse Robert Joustra and Alissa Wilkinson examine a number of popular stories -- from the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica to the purging of innocence in Game of Thrones to the hordes of zombies in The Walking Dead -- and argue tha…

Religious Freedom Beyond Rights
American leadership on international religious freedom (IRF) has produced institutional and policy innovations, scholarship, and practical training that has paid dividends in other countries, including Canada, which has recently set up an IRF Office within its department of foreign affairs. Canada can learn a great deal retrospectively from the American experience. The single most important challenge for the Canadian Office is one that continues …
