ABSTRACT. Our aim in this article is to develop a research agenda for examining the current focus on diversity and social cohesion, transnational linkages of religious groups, the relationship between ethnicity and nationalism, the routine practices of everyday life, and the discursive enactment and construction of nationhood. The objective of this paper is to emphasize the importance of the way in which globalization shapes religious identities and conflict, the professed need for integration and social cohesion, and the peculiarity of religious politics. pp. 274–279
