    What has been the role of religion in international relations?
    January 22nd, 2009 at 02:53

    So lately I’ve waded in on some serious politics. It’s a bit of a gamble, really – there’s some actual risk involved in writing about things sincerely, rather than just a load of silly bollocks like I usually do. Unlike writing drivel, there’s a tangible risk that I could be held to account or that I could be proven wrong – something which, as every pundit knows, is a fate worse than death.

    However, I have got some self confidence in what I’m saying. International Relations is What I Do. It is My Thing. I’ve got a degree that proves it, so I like to think that I know what I’m talking about. So I’m going to take a bit of a gamble – after receving some encouragement from Duncan, who has done the same, I’m going to put my head above the parapet and put my undergraduate dissertation online for all to see.

    My dissertation was on the role of religion in international relations – which as far as I’m aware is a surprisingly unexplored topic. It explores the philosophical and historical roles of religion and then looks at some modern examples. And then I conclude that religion is a crock of shit.

    Your mileage may vary. I got a 2:1 for it if that counts for anything. It’s basically me trying to be like a less educated Richard Dawkins.

    Think it sounds interesting? Click here to have a look.
