Abstract

The religion–politics nexus has become a thriving field within the study of global politics. However, the fast development has translated only into a moderate diversification of the research. Building on Bourdieu’s analysis of the social field, this paper argues that this limited pluralization is related to the strong heteronomy of the field. This heteronomy has three “concentric” sources—the dependence on the field of politics, the continued influence of the secularist bias of Western social science, and the dependence on the theoretical developments in the broader discipline of international relations. Methodologically, the article builds on a detailed analysis of eighteen top academic journals and their scholarly output related to religion in global politics.

宗教和(全球)政治:艺术的状态和超越

宗教与政治的关系已经成为全球政治研究中的一个蓬勃发展的领域。然而，快速的发展只带来了适度的多样化研究。基于布迪厄对社会场域的分析，本文认为这种有限的多元化与场域的强烈他律性有关。这种他律有三个“同心”的来源——对政治领域的依赖，西方社会科学的世俗主义偏见的持续影响，以及对更广泛的国际关系学科的理论发展的依赖。在方法上，本文建立在对18份顶级学术期刊及其与全球政治中的宗教相关的学术成果进行详细分析的基础上。

期刊介绍： The International Studies Review (ISR) provides a window on current trends and research in international studies worldwide. Published four times a year, ISR is intended to help: (a) scholars engage in the kind of dialogue and debate that will shape the field of international studies in the future, (b) graduate and undergraduate students understand major issues in international studies and identify promising opportunities for research, and (c) educators keep up with new ideas and research. To achieve these objectives, ISR includes analytical essays, reviews of new books, and a forum in each issue. Essays integrate scholarship, clarify debates, provide new perspectives on research, identify new directions for the field, and present insights into scholarship in various parts of the world.
