In this TPNRD webinar, Sarah Wolff discusses her new book, Secular Power Europe and Islam: Identity and Foreign Policy (2021) with Religion & Diplomacy editor Judd Birdsall. Berkley Center Senior Fellow Jocelyne Cesari serves as a respondent.
In her book, Wolff argues that secularism is not the central principle of international relations but should be considered as one belief system that influences international politics. Through an exploration of Europe’s secular identity, Wolff shows how Islam confronts the European Union’s existential anxieties about its security and its identity.
