Description
How should we understand Christendom in world politics and as a referent of IR? Should we consider it a bygone era, a political-theological master-signifier, or a contested object of competing political imaginaries? Have we misunderstood it in the past? Have we understated its legacies and afterlives in contemporary law, politics and security? How do we compare and contrast its varying Western, Eastern and global forms? Research programmes on Post-Christendom and the (post)secular – as well as a variety of work in Theology, Philosophy, History and IR – gives rise to these questions.
