    In ottobre 2016, l'associazione internazionale Reset-Dialogues on Civilizations in collaborazione con la Fondazione Giorgio Cini, L'Università Ca’ Foscari e FIND India-Europe Foundation for New Dialogues ospiteranno una discussione a Venezia su due trend del discorso politico globale: il rafforzamento e la radicalizzazione delle identità di gruppo definite intorno alla religione e all'etnia e il cambiamento delle politiche democratiche verso movimenti populisti e anti elitari, con un ritorno al nazionalismo, a una crescente popolarità delle forze illiberali e di nuove tendenze autoritarie.

    The relationship between religion and politics is a bone of political contention and a source of deep confusion across the Islam-West divide.

From their perspective there is simply too much religion in public life in the Arab-Islamic world, which raises serious questions for them about the prospects for democracy in this part of the world. This article examines the relationship between religion and political legitimacy in the context of the contemporary Muslim Middle East. Specifically, it seeks to provide a broad historical answer to the question: why at the start of the 21st century is religion a powerful source of political legitimacy in Muslim societies while in the West, by and large today, it is a source of disagreement and hence illegitimacy?
