| Summary/Abstract |
The transition period from the Ottoman withdrawal from Jerusalem to the establishment of British rule was critical for the Orthodox Church. On the one hand, the rule of Patriarch Damianos was contested by a powerful opposition within the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre, which was supported by the government in Athens. On the other hand, the Arab laity sided with Damianos, putting at the same time pressure on the new administration to upgrade its status both at a political and religious level. This paper attempts to contextually sketch out the historical course of events, paying special attention on the religious policy agenda of the new authorities, as well as the diplomatic and cultural factors influencing the decision-making process. Overall, the paper suggests that the internal church crisis under examination was determined by the historical reformulation caused by WWI, the development of Arab nationalism, national ambitions in Athens, and British local and diplomatic policy objectives. Moreover, it argues that this period of crisis should probably be viewed as the starting point of the modern history of the institution (This article extends and updates the analysis of my previous paper, Papastathis 2009 (in Greek). In particular, it employs and contextually analyses new archival sources from the Historic and Diplomatic Archive of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The new archival material is related to the intra-religious background and institutional framework, and to the diplomatic and political aspects of the question under examination).

| Summary/Abstract |
THE AUGUST 2008 CRISIS in the Caucasus distorted the world agenda and eclipsed for a while much of what could have caused serious international shifts. The present political construction looks less than a pyramid and more like a mobile polygon, another confirmation of the well-known dictum that variety is one of the outstanding features of human evolution and no one can claim the monopoly on truth. The new historical period suggests that the unfolding and potential global problems should be collectively analyzed to be able to stand opposed to challenges and avoid mistakes of the past.
Today we can see, among other things, a revival of the phenomenon that in the 1970s looked safely buried. In February 2007, at a press conference Vladimir Putin said that "the traditional faiths of the Russian Federation and Russia's nuclear shield are two things that strengthen Russian statehood and create the necessary conditions for ensuring the country's internal and external secu-rity."1 On 18 January 2008, speaking in front of the diplomatic corps in Paris President of France Nicolas Sarkozy described two factors - ecological and religious - as two most important challenges to the world in the 21st century. In his book Decisions: My Life in Politics former chancellor of Germany Gerhard Schroder wrote that U.S. President George W. Bush had shocked him by his claims at absolute truth; he was even more shocked when the American president confided to him "I am driven with a mission from God."2 No matter how far removed these two statements are from one another they are related to one subject, namely, religion. Are they suggested by short-term considerations or do they reflect reality?

| Summary/Abstract |
Religious modes of thinking about the world are widespread in Africa, and have a pervasive influence on politics in the broadest sense. We have published elsewhere a theoretical model as to how the relationship between politics and religion may be understood, with potential benefits for observers not just of Africa, but also of other parts of the world where new combinations of religion and politics are emerging. Application of this theoretical model requires researchers to rethink some familiar categories of social science
