Secularism in International Politics

Author: Jean-Nicolas Bitter

The question of the sense and definition of the terms “secular” and “lay” is both important and topical, notably in the field of international politics.

The relationship between the religious and the political, and how it should be dealt with in practical terms, is an age-old problem. Nevertheless, it appears that our era is relatively ill equipped to meet this challenge. To do so it is necessary distinction between the religious and the political – in other words to have a conceptualization which is both effective and acceptable for the parties concerned.
