A History of Orthodox, Islamic, and Western Christian Political Values [electronic resource] /by Dennis J. Dunn. - 1st ed. 2016. - XIII, 257 p. 5 illus. in color.online resource.

Introduction -- Chapter I: Orthodox Civilization -- Chapter II: Islamic Civilization -- Chapter III: Western Civilization -- Chapter IV: Russia’s Revolutions and the Advent of Communist Era -- Chapter V: The Resurgence of Western Values, 1945-2000s -- Chapter VI: Islamism’s Revolution, 1990s-2015 -- Chapter VII The Struggle: Current Scene -- Chapter VIII: Conclusion.

The book reveals the nexus between religion and politics today and shows that we live in an interdependent world where one global civilization is emerging and where the world’s peoples are continuing to coalesce around a series of values that contain potent Western overtones. Both Putin’s Orthodox Russia and regions under the control of such Islamist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda resent and attempt, in a largely languishing effort, to frustrate this series of values. The book explains the current tension between the West and Russia and parts of the Muslim world and sheds light on the causes of such crises as the Syrian Civil War, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, and acts of terrorism such as 9/11 and the ISIS-inspired massacres in Paris. It shows that religion continues to affect global order and that knowledge of its effect on political identity and global governance should guide both government policy and scholarly analysis of contemporary history.
