_x000D_ _x000D_ This book takes as its starting point the emergence of cosmopolitanism as a springboard for generating a productive dialogue among scholars working within a variety of intellectual disciplines and methodological traditions. The chapter contributions offer a serious attempt to critically engage both the limitations and possibilities of cosmopolitanism as an analytical and critical tool to understand a changing religious landscape in a globalizing world, namely, the so-called ‘new religious diversity’, religious conflict, and issues of migration, multiculturalism and transnationalism vis-à-vis the public exercise of religion. The contributors’ work is situated in a range of world sites in Africa, India, North America, Latin America, and Europe._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of globalization, religion and politics and the sociology of religion. _x000D_
