Abstract
This edited book explores the impact of globalisation on the relationship between religion and politics, religion and nation, religion and nationalism, and the impact that transnationalism has on religious groups. This introduction addresses the contributing chapters of this book and links their argument and findings through a discussion on religion, politics, nationalism and transnationalism within the prism of the multiple modernities theory. It deals with historical and contemporary cases to inform this study of comparative nationalism and transnationalism with regard to religion. It also explores the theories of the post-national constellation, the clash of civilization and cosmopolitanism to shed further understanding on historical and contemporary social and cultural interactions.
