ABSTRACT
This chapter applies a critical intersectional framework for studying religion and world politics to analyse conflict and security situations where religion is present. It explores the 2021 coup in Myanmar, the precarious security situation in Iraq after the 2003 war and the battle against ISIS, and the rise of right-wing extremism in Europe to demonstrate how a critical, intersectional approach can contribute to more effective analysis with longer-term consequences for establishing lasting peace and security.
