Orthodox Christianity and the Politics of Transition: Ukraine, Serbia and Georgia: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Orthodox Christianity and the Politics of Transition: Ukraine, Serbia and Georgia" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book discusses in detail how Orthodox Christianity was involved in and influenced political transition in Ukraine, Serbia, and Georgia after the collapse of communism. Based on original research, including extensive interviews with clergy and parishioners as well as historical, legal, and policy analysis, the book argues that the nature of the involvement of churches in post-communist politics depended on whether the interests of the church (for example, in education, the legal system or economic activity) were accommodated or threatened: if accommodated, churches confined themselves to the sacred domain; if threatened, they engaged in daily politics. If churches competed with each other for organizational interests, they evoked the support of nationalism while remaining within the religious domain.

Orthodox Christianity and the Politics of Transition
This book discusses in detail how Orthodox Christianity was involved in and influenced political transition in Ukraine, Serbia, and Georgia after the collapse of communism. Based on original research, including extensive interviews with clergy and parishioners as well as historical, legal, and policy analysis, the book argues that the nature of the involvement of churches in post-communist politics depended on whether the interests of the church (for example, in education, the legal system or economic activity) were accommodated or threatened: if accommodated, churches confined themselves to the sacred domain; if threatened, they engaged in daily politics. If churches competed with each other for organizational interests, they evoked the support of nationalism while remaining within the religious domain.

Routledge Religion, Society and Government in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet States
Series Editor
Lucian Leustean is Reader in Politics and International
Relations at Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
This Series seeks to publish high quality monographs and edited volumes on religion, society and government in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet States by focusing primarily on three main themes: the history of churches and religions (including, but not exclusively, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism) in relation to governing structures, social groupings and political power; the impact of intellectual ideas on religious structures and values; and the role of religions and faith-based communities in fostering national identities from the nineteenth century until today.
The Series aims to advance the latest research on these themes by exploring the multi-facets of religious mobilisation at local, national and supranational levels. It particularly welcomes studies which offer an interdisciplinary approach by drawing on the fields of history, politics, international relations, religious studies, theology, law, sociology and anthropology.

I am thankful to the many people and organizations who supported me in the making of this book. I am forever indebted to my mother Juli and aunt Jano, the two surviving members of my family, who, together with me, went through the war in Abkhazia, captivity in our home, and miraculous escape, and later deportation sagas between different refugee camps during Georgias tremulous political past. The lesson to remain humane despite the miseries and tragedies of life is priceless. This book would not have been written without my dear wife, Ani, who empowered me immensely with her support and tacit comments on drafts, who showed tremendous stamina, and who kindly accepted the commitments and sacrifices that this research required.
This book benefited immensely from the comments of my PhD supervisor, Professor Christian Joppke, whose razor-sharp remarks on various drafts of this book were stimulating wake-up calls. At the same time, opportunities to present my work at his colloquium series in Bern were critical at the early stage of this intellectual journey. The support of Professor Ulrich Schmid at the University of St. Gallen was second to none. Beyond being an incredible host during my postdoc at the University of St. Gallen, informal discussions with Ulrich about the intellectual history of Ukraine and complex political interdependencies triggered various questions that set a good ground for this comparative study.
I am thankful to various institutions, without which conducting various stages of research for this book would be impossible. The support of the Swiss Governments Excellence Scholarship scheme throughout my PhD studies and the Swiss National Science Foundations Mobility Fellowship to Harvard University were pivotal in this regard. I am thankful to the Davis Center at Harvard University and Harvards Ukrainian Research Institute for giving me numerous opportunities to engage in intellectual life at Harvard fully. The generous support of the Center for Governance and Culture in Europe at the University of St. Gallen during my fieldwork in Ukraine and after it, as well their exciting events on various topics related to Ukraine, made the Ukrainian dimension of this book possible.
I remain thankful to friends and colleagues in Ukraine, Serbia, and Georgia: Nemanja, Stefan, Tetiana, and Julia, without whom my field research would not have been as thoroughly planned and conducted.
