Religion and democracy in foreign policy

Georgetown University’s Berkley Center is hosting a symposium on religion and democracy in foreign policy of the Obama administration on November 3

The day-long event will consist of four panels, each of which will examine the question of religion and democracy in U.S. foreign policy from a different perspective. The panels will address the role of religious actors in U.S. democracy programs and policies; the “twin tolerations” and democratic stability in highly religious societies; emerging trends in the data concerning the relationships between religion and democracy; and the relationship between Islam and democracy in key Muslim countries.

Speakers include Columbia University’s Alfred Stepan and Jean Bethke Elshtain, of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs, and a board member of the National Endowment for Democracy.
