Obiettivi formativi
L’insegnamento di Politica e religione concorre alla realizzazione degli obiettivi formativi del corso di studi in Area and Global Studies for International Cooperation, fornendo agli studenti le chiavi di lettura essenziali per comprendere l’influenza del fattore religioso a livello globale sui sistemi politici e sociali delle aree oggetto del corso di studi: sia in vista di un utilizzo conoscitivo, in termini di area studies; sia per un utilizzo sul campo, nell’attività di cooperazione allo sviluppo (in cui gli attori religiosi svolgono spesso un ruolo chiave sia come ONG attive nel settore cooperazione, sia come stakeholders).The course on Politics and Religion contributes to the fulfilment of the aims of the Master degree on Area and Global Studies for International Cooperation, by providing the students with keys to the understanding of the influence at the global level of the religious factor on social and political systems. A particular attention will be devoted to the areas on which the Master degree focuses: both towards an analytical use, in terms of area studies; and in relation to the field of international cooperation for development (wherein religious actors often perform a key role, both as cooperation NGOs and as stakeholders).- Oggetto:

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento
Gli studenti e le studentesse saranno valutati/e attraverso un esame scritto a risposte aperte che si concentrerà sulla conoscenza delle elaborazioni teoriche esposte nel corso, e sulla capacità degli studenti di applicarle a contesti concreti. I frequentanti potranno sostituire la parte di esame sulle ultime 12 ore di corso con la presentazione di una tesina su un caso studio (valida per 1/3 del voto totale).Se non sarà possibile tenere esami in presenza, gli esami si svolgeranno oralmente nella stanza Webex del docente.
Students will be evaluated through a written exam including only open ended questions, that will focus both on the students' knowledge of the theories, and on their capacity to apply them to specific contexts. Those attending the course will have the opportunity to replace the examination on the last 12 hours of course with a short paper on a case study (1/3 of the total mark).In case it will not be possible to hold exams in presence, the exams will take place orally in the Webex meeting room of the teacher.

Programma
La prima parte del programma dell’insegnamento (24 ore) sarà dedicata all’analisi delle relazioni tra politica e religione nel mondo contemporaneo a livello teorico, focalizzandosi sulle principali prospettive teoriche e le loro implicazioni. In primo luogo, saranno considerati i diversi possibili tipi di rapporto tra istituzioni politiche e organizzazioni religiose in diverse parti del mondo, e si cercherà di capire in che modo si realizzi l’influenza della religione sulla politica interna, nell’ambito di regimi democratici e non democratici. Sarà considerato in particolare il ruolo degli attori religiosi, privilegiando i partiti politici di orientamento religioso, i loro differenti orientamenti, e la loro influenza. Sarà infine preso in considerazione il ruolo della religione nella politica internazionale e globale, in particolare in riferimento al ruolo del fattore religioso nei conflitti e nei fenomeni di violenza politica.
La seconda parte dell’insegnamento (12 ore) si concentrerà invece sull’analisi di casi studio appartenenti alle tre aree che sono oggetto del corso di studi (Africa, Asia e le Americhe), che mostreranno come le prospettive teoriche analizzate nella prima parte del corso si applicano a specifici contesti.The first part of the course (24 hours) will analyze the relations between politics and religion in the contemporary world at the theoretical level, with a focus on the main perspectives on the subject and their implications. First, the course will take into account the different possible arrangements between political institutions and religious organizations in different areas of the world, and it will try to understand how the influence of religion takes shape at the domestic level in both democratic and non democratic regimes. Particularly, the role of religious actors will be considered, with a focus on religiously oriented political parties, their different orientations, and their influence. The role of religion in international and global politics will also be taken into account, particularly in relation to the role of the religious factor in conflicts and phenomena of political violence.
The second part of the course (12 hours) will instead be focused on specific case studies belonging to the three regional areas which are the focus of the course of studies (Africa, Asia and the Americas), which will illustrate how the theoretical perspectives analyzed in the first part of the course apply to specific contexts.Testi consigliati e bibliografia
