Policymakers have rallied around the notion that the fostering of religious freedom, interfaith dialogue, religious tolerance, and protections for religious minorities are the keys to combating persecution and discrimination. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Religious Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e persuasively argues that these initiatives create the very social tensions and divisions they are meant to overcome. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElizabeth Shakman Hurd looks at three critical channels of state-sponsored intervention: international religious freedom advocacy, development assistance and nation building, and international law. She shows how these initiatives make religious difference a matter of law, resulting in a divide that favors forms of religion authorized by those in power and excludes other ways of being and belonging. In exploring the dizzying power dynamics and blurred boundaries that characterize relations between \"expert religion,\" \"governed religion,\" and \"lived religion,\" Hurd charts new territory in the study of religion in global politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA forceful and timely critique of the politics of promoting religious freedom, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Religious Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e provides new insights into today's most pressing dilemmas of power, difference, and governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Shakman Hurd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691176222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Shakman Hurd\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of political science at Northwestern University.
