Reviews

'As the title suggests, Religion, State and the United Nations seeks to analyse the role that religion plays at the United Nations (UN), as well as its impact on the policies of the UN that flow down to the national level. It is a collection of 11 essays divided into two parts, `Religion at the United Nations' and `Religion and state', and forms part of a wider Routledge book series on the role of religion in various international fora.' - Paul Coleman, ADF, Vienna
