Evangelical globalism and the internationalization of Sudan’s second civil war / Agensky, Jonathan C   Journal Article
Agensky, Jonathan C Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The roles played by evangelical Christians in the internationalization of Sudan’s second civil war (1983–2005) illustrate the multidirectional effects of faith-based interventions into the global south. Evangelicalism is one of the most rapidly expanding contemporary religious forms in the world. The engagement of South Sudan by evangelicals of the global north has been a major moment in its formation as a unique and critical international constituency. This work unsettles deeply rooted assumptions about these types of actors, their emergent politics and their locations in global governance relations. I argue that the politics of Sudan’s civil war represents a global moment in faith-based advocacy and humanitarianism, which is deeply implicated in a globalizing and globally-engaged evangelicalism.

Who governs? Religion and order in postcolonial Africa / Agensky, Jonathan C   Journal Article
Agensky, Jonathan C Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explores how mutually productive intersections between religion and governance constitute international political order in sub-Saharan settings. Asking ‘who governs’, I propose religion–governance entanglement as a means of analysing these intersections and rethinking governance, order and religion in Africa. Existing literatures typically characterise the public reliance on religious actors and institutions as being part of a uniquely ‘post-secular’ moment in contemporary world politics or a wider ‘post-Westphalian’ shift in modern governance. Enduring dynamics between postcolonial states and the Global North problematise these framings. In sub-Saharan Africa, religion has a protracted history in postcolonial hybrid governance, overlapping the regional presence of international non-govermental organisations following decolonisation. Using the example of South Sudan, I build on recent analyses of religious-political activities that leave their collective implications under-theorised.
