- This is the first monograph in Italian on Religion and Globalization, and indeed – after Beyer’s ground-breaking ‘Religion and Globalization’ and Juergensmeyer’s Global Religions (which only deals with so-called World Religions) – the first critical overview on the topic. The book draws on a multitude of theoretical approaches, examples, and relevant secondary literature. The monograph is consequently and intelligently divided into thematic chapters in order to deal with its complex and multi-facetted main subject across 131 pages. It illustrates the discussion with examples drawn from all strands of religion which distinguishes it from other treatments of the subject

- English abstract
- The volume offers an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to the most representative aspects of the globalization of religions, starting from the transnational dimension of religion in global society and from the intensification of contacts. It also addresses: the confrontation between the “sacred” and the secular, which requires religions to renegotiate the modalities of their social participation; the impact of global cultural flows on religions; and the crucial role played within these dynamics by profound transformations of the collective consciousness and by issues of institutional and individual power.
