| book description |

A timely exposÃ‰ of the efforts of the religious right to influence global policy With little fanfare and profound effect, â€œfamily valuesâ€ have gone global, and the influence of the Christian Right is increasingly felt internationally. This is the first comprehensive study of the Christian Rightâ€™s global reach and its impact on international law and politics. Doris Buss and Didi Herman explore tensions, contradictions, victories, and defeats for the Christian Rightâ€™s global project, particularly in the United Nations. The authors consult Christian Right materials, from pamphlets to novels; conduct interviews with people in the movement; and provide a firsthand account of the World Congress of Families II in 1999, a key event in formulating Christian Right global policy and strategy. The result is a detailed look at a new global player-its campaigns against womenâ€™s rights, population policy, and gay and lesbian rights; its efforts to build an alliance of orthodox faiths with non-Christians; and the tensions and strains as it seeks to negotiate a role for conservative Christianity in a changing global order.
