I am trying to put up a panel proposal for the CISS conference in July 2010:

http://isanet.ccit.arizona.edu/CISS-Section/2010/tenth%20international%20ciss%20millennium%20conference.htm

I need a few names and titles of papers for the following panel:

Religious/Secular Politics: Between the Global and the Local

Economic and demographic changes associated with globalization significantly alter the relations between religion, state and society and also impact international relations. Economic changes are often associated with a process of sustained secularization, unleashing market forces that are said significantly to undermine previous arrangements involving religion, state and society. But, the re-assertion of religion in political life, local and global, raises new questions on its role and often new challenges of peace and conflict. This panel will engage with different accounts of religious and secular changes and initiatives, the way they are translated into political agendas in the overall context of deepening globalization and their impact on global security, conflict and cooperation.

Best,

Guy Ben-Porat
