Thy Will Be Done? Religious Nationalism and Its Effects in East Central Europe
Levels of both religiosity and of religious influence on public policy vary enormously
across the countries of post-communist East Central Europe. This variation poses a
challenge to existing explanations, which have focused on religious competition and
alliances with political parties to explain religious participation and policy influence,
respectively. The legacy of religious nationalism instead helps to explain both the
vibrancy of religious participation and the influence of churches on democratic public
policy. This variation also calls for greater scrutiny of “historical legacies”: while some
patterns are durable and reach back centuries, others are recent innovations.
