Influential authors portray religion as an overestimated factor in radicalization processes, or even dismiss religion as a real cause. In comparison to anthropological, philosophical and theological theories on religion, these authors define religion too narrowly.

The Scholars Workshop will discuss papers on global constitutionalism/global governance/human rights.
