分析人士、学者和外交官认为，宗教在国际舞台上最著名的“回归”，主要是对“后世俗”时代假设的更广泛的证实。然而，在对全球变革阶段的国际关系进行系统分析时，缺少对当今宗教运作的反思。如果要在国际关系领域认真对待世界宗教，就需要处理它们在国际体系中作为结构要素的作用，而不是仅仅是一种文化现象，只对世界秩序产生派生或次要的影响。特别是，在概念上明确区分“全球化”和“普遍主义”这两种不同的范式，这两种范式在当今许多世界宗教中以明确或含蓄的方式体现出来；并调查宗教是否以及如何有助于形成象征性和多元化的全球集体特性。
The most celebrated “return” of religion on the international scene has been considered by analysts, scholars, and diplomats mainly as a confirmation on a wider scale of the hypothesis of a “post-secular” era. What is missing, however, is a reflection on the present-day functioning of religions in connection with the systemic analysis of international relations in a phase of global transformation. If world religions are to be taken seriously in the field of international relations, this would require an approach to their role in the international system as a structural element rather than a mere cultural phenomenon with only a derivative or secondary influence on world order. In particular, it will be useful to make a clear conceptual distinction between the two diverging paradigms of “globalization” and “universalism,” as embodied in an explicit or implicit way in many world religions today; and to investigate if and how religions could contribute to the formation of a global collective identity, both symbolic and pluralistic.
