The recent rediscovery in the study of international relations that beliefs, practices, and communal relations rooted in religious traditions play a role in the complex, interdependent world of nations has led to a plenitude of new monographs, essay collections, and journal articles in the general area of “religion and international relations.” Not surprisingly, what that role of religion might be, what the important questions are, and how to intellectually order a complicated field of phenomena are all matters of some contention in the discipline. Such contention, which includes a multitude of methodological approaches, indicates that this subfield is likely in a healthy state. The answers to the questions emerging in it will be determined both by empirical findings and also the theoretical and even ideological commitments that are frequently in play before, during, and after one's investigation. That, too, is a typical, but frequently less salutary occurrence in the social sciences.
