The Wiley Companion to Religion, Politics, and Nations

The 1st Edition of The Wiley Companion to Religion, Politics, and Nations, authored by Jocelyne Cesari and published by Wiley-Blackwell, offers a structured analysis of interactions between religion, politics, and national communities. Designed as a primary academic textbook, the 2026 volume connects domestic governance with international political dynamics to support upper-level university instruction.

The volume synthesizes multidisciplinary frameworks from political science, history, anthropology, and religious studies to investigate global governance. Core analytical streams examine how civic morality, political power, and collective religious identity intersect within modern states. Broad thematic coverage spans multiculturalism, race, ethnicity, and gender rights, alongside the globalization of religious communities, post-national dynamics, pluralism, and institutional tolerance.

A defining feature of the text is its empirical breadth, incorporating comparative case studies that span well-studied global contexts as well as underrepresented regions. The volume directly supports advanced undergraduate and graduate courses across political science, religious studies, anthropology, and history, offering clear structural alignment for seminar study.
