Manlio Graziano teaches geopolitics and geopolitics of religions at Sorbonne University, the American Graduate School in Paris, and the Geneva Institute of Geopolitical Studies. His books include The Failure of Italian Nationhood: The Geopolitics of a Troubled Identity (2010), Essential Geopolitics: A Handbook (2011), and In Rome We Trust: The Rise of Catholics in American Political Life (2017).
In a clear and luminous way, Graziano demonstrates how religions, in the plural, came to reinvest in the political sphere and provides his readers with a full comprehension of the geopolitical dynamics at work in our world today. -- Souleymane Bachir Diagne, Columbia University It has become commonplace that the old certainties that governed postwar politics are dissolving in the heat of populism and nationalism. Graziano argues that the change is in fact deeper than this: having been thoroughly secularized after the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, global politics is once more coming to terms with the power of religion. He makes his case with learning and vigor. By writing about geopolitics in the light of religion and religion in the light of geopolitics, Graziano has enhanced our understanding of both. -- Adrian Wooldridge, coauthor of God Is Back: How the Global Revival of Faith is Changing the World
