This collection of essays provides a comprehensive analysis of religious soft power and the various ways religion influences domestic and international politics. Examining a range of countries, including Nigeria, the United States, Iran, and others, the contributors to this volume address the role of religion in conflict resolution, on foreign policy formation, in impacting political parties, in weaponizing by political elites to capture political power, and a range of other influences. These essays reveal the various methodologies employed, the extent of the advantages or disadvantages of religious soft power, and particularly the comparative dynamics of politics and religious soft power relations in developing countries. This book is designed for students, scholars, and policymakers alike and furthers the study of religion as an influential factor in global politics.
