Course Title:
Religion in International Affairs
Course Number:
INS 3315
Course Description:
Prerequisite: Junior classification
Religion has long been a factor in international relations. Since the
important events of 1979 (the rise of Khomeini, the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan, and the seizure of the Grand Mosque in Mecca), religion
has become an increasingly salient aspect of politics, both domestically
and internationally. This course will examine the role that religion plays in
international relations, as well as the role that policymakers (often wrongly)
imagine that it plays. It will examine the influence, perceived and real, of
the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the United States, Iran, and other
specific countries, as well national and trans-national religious groups.
