Order out of Chaos explains why Iraqis turned to the mosque after state collapse. In 2003, the US-led invasion of Iraq destroyed the Bathist state. Despite this the citizens of Basra established predictable routines of daily life and social order as the familiar and customary structures of state-imposed order collapsed. What enabled individuals in Basra to work together to produce order amid anarchy? The answer: the Friday mosque.
A week after the regime fell, Shii imams introduced Friday congregational prayers and associated sermons for the first time in most places since the 1950s. These sermons facilitated the spread of common knowledge and coordination, both locally and nationally, and contributed to the emergence of a relatively cohesive imagined community of Iraqi Shia that came to dominate Iraq's political order.
Combining rational choice approaches, ethnographic understanding, and GIS analysis, David Siddhartha Patel reveals the interconnectedness of the enduring problem of how societies create social order in a stateless environment, the origins and limits of political authority and leadership, and the social and political salience of collective identity.

Описание:
Faith, Nationalism, and the Future of Liberal Democracy highlights the use of religious identity to fuel the rise of illiberal, nationalist, and populist democracy.
In Faith,Nationalism, and the Future of Liberal Democracy, David Elcott, C. ColtAnderson, Tobias Cremer, and Volker Haarmann present a pragmatic and modernistexploration of how religion engages in the public square. Elcott and hisco-authors are concerned about the ways religious identity is being used tofoster the exclusion of individuals and communities from citizenship, politicalrepresentation, and a role in determining public policy. They examine the waysreligious identity is weaponized to fuel populist revolts against a political,social, and economic order that values democracy in a global and strikinglydiverse world. Included is a history and political analysis of religion,politics, and policies in Europe and the United States that foster thisilliberal rebellion.
The authors explore what constitutesa constructive religious voice in the political arena, even in nurturingpatriotism and democracy, and what undermines and threatens liberaldemocracies. To lay the groundwork for a religious response, the book offerschapters showing how Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism can nourishliberal democracy. The authors encourage people of faith to promotefoundational support for the institutions and values of the democraticenterprise from within their own religious traditions and to stand against thehostility and cruelty that historically have resulted when religious zealotryand state power combine.
Faith,Nationalism, and the Future of Liberal Democracy is intended for readerswho value democracy and are concerned about growing threats to it, andespecially for people of faith and religious leaders, as well as for scholarsof political science, religion, and democracy.

Описание: We are all haunted by histories. They shape our presuppositions and ballast our judgments. In terms of science and religion this means most of us walk about haunted by rumors of a long war. However, there is no such thing as the "history of the conflict of science and Christianity," and this is a book about it. In the last half of the twentieth century a sea change in the history of science and religion occurred, revealing not only that the perception of protracted warfare between religion and science was a curious set of mythologies that had been combined together into a sort of supermyth in need of debunking. It was also seen that this collective mythology arose in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by historians involved in many sides of the debates over Darwin's discoveries, and from there latched onto the public imagination at large. Flat Earths and Fake Footnotes takes the reader on a journey showing how these myths were constructed, collected together, and eventually debunked. Join us for a story of flat earths and fake footnotes, to uncover the strange tale of how the conflict of science and Christianity was written into history.

Описание: Despite narratives of secularization, it appears that the British public persistently pay attention to clerical opinion and continually resort to popular expressions of religious faith, not least in time of war. From the throngs of men who gathered to hear the Bishop of London preach recruiting sermons during the First World War, to the attention paid to Archbishop Williams' words of conscience on Iraq, clerical rhetoric remains resonant. For the countless numbers who attended National Days of Prayer during the Second World War, and for the many who continue to find the Remembrance Day service a meaningful ritual, civil religious events provide a source of meaningful ceremony and a focus of national unity. War and religion have been linked throughout the twentieth century and this book explores these links: taking the perspective of the 'home front' rather than the battlefield. Exploring the views and accounts of Anglican clerics on the issue of warfare and international conflict across the century, the authors explore the church's stance on the causes, morality and conduct of warfare; issues of pacifism, obliteration bombing, nuclear possession and deterrence, retribution, forgiveness and reconciliation, and the spiritual opportunities presented by conflict. This book offers invaluable insights into how far the Church influenced public appraisal of war whilst illuminating the changing role of the Church across the twentieth century.
