Abstract

Pourquoi des dizaines de milliers de musulmans se convertissent-ils pour devenir chrétiens ou témoins de Jéhovah ? Comment expliquer que la religion qui croît le plus vite dans le monde soit le pentecôtisme ? Pourquoi le salafisme, doctrine musulmane particulièrement austère, attire-t-il de jeunes Européens ? Pourquoi si peu de jeunes catholiques entrent-ils dans les séminaires alors qu'ils se pressent autour du pape lors des Journées mondiales de la jeunesse ? Comment se fait-il que les défenseurs de la tradition anglicane conservatrice soient aujourd'hui nigérians, ougandais ou kényans, alors que le primat de l'Église en Angleterre approuve l'usage de la charia pour les musulmans britanniques ? Pourquoi la Corée du Sud fournit-elle, proportionnellement, le plus grand nombre de missionnaires protestants dans le monde ? Comment peut-on être " juif pour Jésus " ? Comment se fait-il que le premier musulman et le bouddhiste élus au Congrès américain en 2006 soient tous les deux des Noirs convertis ? La théorie du clash des civilisations, de S. Huntington, ne permet pas de comprendre de tels phénomènes. Car loin d'être l'expression d'identités culturelles traditionnelles, le revivalisme religieux est une conséquence de la mondialisation et de la crise des cultures. La " sainte ignorance ", c'est le mythe d'un pur religieux qui se construirait en dehors des cultures. Ce mythe anime les fondamentalismes modernes, en concurrence sur un marché des religions qui à la fois exacerbe leurs divergences et standardise leurs pratiques.

Abstract

This book explores in detail current developments in the three major societies of the south Caucasus - Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia - focusing especially on religion, historical traditions, national consciousness and political culture, and on how these factors interact. It outlines how, despite close geographical interlacement, common historical memories including subjection to Russian and Soviet empires and common inherited structures, the three countries manifest deep differences; and it discusses how development in all three nations has partly or even significantly diverged from post-Soviet elites' declared commitments to democratic norms and European values. The book demonstrates that these differences, and the failures of political ambitions, stem from the countries' different religious backgrounds, political traditions and emerging economic models, which have created very different dynamics over the last two decades. The book also considers how external factors and international relations continue to have a huge impact on the three countries.
