This collection will bring together, for the first time, the key texts on globalization and religion which are currently scattered across a wide range of publications. Each volume will articulate theoretical and empirical perspectives: while theories attempt to grasp the nature of the relations between globalization and religion, a diversity of case-studies shed light on the importance of religion in the making of contemporary global situations.
