Pilgrimage, Politics, and International Relations [electronic resource] : Religious Semantics for World Politics /
Barbato, M.author.
A standout contribution to post-secular IR theory, this book addresses issues of global politics, from cooperation to conflict, and shows how a religious metaphor, the pilgrim, can help us to rethink our concepts of self, agency, and community in a time of changing world order.
