Summary: A standout contribution to post-secular IR theory, this book addresses issues of global politics, from cooperation to conflict, and shows how a religious metaphor, the pilgrim, [...] can help us to rethink our concepts of self, agency, and community in a time of changing world order. Pilgrimage, Politics, and Globalization offers metaphorical notions of pilgrims and pilgrimages to rethink the concepts of self, community and political action under the pressures of globalization. Pilgrimages are common to all world religions and increasingly popular also in secular contexts. The book presents a novel take on the concept of pilgrimage to explore political, sociological, theological and philosophical thinking. Rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition it is a contribution to a post-secular dialogue among civilizations in search for a common political agency
