Religions in International Political Economy

Exploring the interplay between religion and international political economy, this book examines how various religious movements influence global dynamics. It reveals the role of fundamentalist Christians in shaping US neoliberal policies, the impact of prosperity theology in Latin America, and the rise of illiberal politics in countries like Turkey and India. In contrast, it also highlights progressive movements, such as Islamic feminism, that advocate for a more inclusive global economy, emphasizing the importance of religious ideas in understanding neoliberal globalization and its challenges.
