<p>To come

<p> In this fascinating and imaginative book, Mariano Barbato transgresses outdated boundaries between the theological and the political to present pilgrimage as a source of imagination for world politics. In an age of mobility, the pilgrim offers a positive model for negotiating both continuity and change. This book is full of interesting narratives and rigorous conceptual analysis, and it offers international relations a new way forward in a postsecular age. --William T. Cavanaugh, senior research professor, Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology, DePaul University In Barbato's book, the notion of pilgrimage serves as a conceptual tool in his attempt to understand our current age, which he calls 'the age of transformation'. This, for millions of people around the world in the context of globalisation, implies 'taking leave and being on the way', as an often constant, not always favourable, experience. This rich and densely argued book is a welcome addition to the small - yet, growing - number of monographs which seek to engage with the thorny issue of post-secular IR theory. - associate dean of Faculty, Research and Postgraduate, and director of the Centre for the Study of Religion, Conflict and Cooperation, London Metropolitan University
