Religious Nationalism in a Global Age

Abstract

This article attempts to present an understanding of the current discussions regarding religious nationalism in a global framework in order to solicit two themes in the case of Hindu Nationalism and revivalism. One, the conflict of interest that arises between globalization as a "means" and as an "end"; two, the implications of network societies and the politics of marginalization. Globalization is looked at from two ends of a spectrum-as an end product versus as a process in itself. This distinction between theorizing globalization as an end or as a means to an end has been made by scholars such as Robertson and White (2007). However, its implications for religious nationalism have not been explored exhaustively. Furthermore, the analysis of Hindu nationalism and revivalism as a peripheral dynamic in the Western nations needs to be problematized in this regard.

The Repertoires of Religious Nationalism: The Case of İsmet Özel

“…Several political scientists and sociologists also obscure the concept when they exclusively prioritize the correlation or causation between religious nationalism and a set of variables such as globalization (Kinnvall 2004; Annavarapu 2015), democratization (Antal 2008), anti-Muslim attitudes (Shortle and Gaddie 2015), and violence (Baber 2000), with little in-depth engagement with the concept of religious nationalism and its literature. Among them, a particular research program on American Christian nationalism (Baker, Perry, and Whitehead 2020a; Perry, Whitehead, and Grubbs 2021; Perry, Grubbs, and Whitehead 2020; Perry and Whitehead 2015; Whitehead and Perry 2015; Whitehead, Schnabel, and Perry 2018; Whitehead, Perry, and Baker 2018; Baker, Perry, and Whitehead 2020b; Whitehead and Perry 2020) brings some conceptual depth, building on a well-designed questionnaire to operationalize the concept 1 .…”

The Relationship Between Religious Nationalism, Institutional Pride, and Societal Development: A Survey of Postcommunist Europe

“…For Barr (2010), the linking of religion with the modern nation-state is, broadly speaking, an “ordinary dynamic” that is commonly used to build ethnic and national identities. Born out of and in response to a globalizing world, religious nationalism is both reactionary (say, to the threats of pluralism) but also infused with the cumulative progression of globalization (Annavarapu, 2015). In this way, religious nationalism carries with it a potential for fundamentalism and radicalization, indicated by rising global religious conflict, which threaten secular nationalism.…”
