Secularisation As An International Crisis In Legitimacy

Summary/Abstract: Scholars of International Politics have recently come to grip with the global resurgence of religion. Since the inception of the field of International Poli-tics, the secularisation thesis had been taken for granted and religion dismissed as unimportant. But in line with the current transformation affecting societies worldwide as well as with the re-consideration of the secularisation thesis by Sociologists, new resources must be developed within IR to better understand current events. While theories and concepts have been developed within Sociol-ogy and the Political Sciences, no such tools are available in International Poli-tics. Thus, this article provides a tentative theory of secularisation drawing on resources endogenous to the field. Drawing on recent advances in the broadly Constructivist tradition, this article re-interprets secularisation as a protracted in-ternational crisis of legitimacy.
