Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions provides a forum to explore the relationship between radical ideologies, whether religious or secular, and politics in the widest sense. The journal looks at:

• the interaction between contemporary religion and politics
• the impact of religious fundamentalism on public policy, political attitudes, and political decision-making at all levels, in the West, the Muslim World and across the world
• conflicts between the secular and the religious
• publicly enforced religion and dissent
• ideologically secular but 'totalising' movements, such as communism, fascism, and Ba'athist movements

Totalitarian Movements and Political Religion focuses on original scholarship, demonstrating a sophisticated awareness of the methodological issues raised by such topics. This includes mapping common areas between different subject areas, revising conventional definitions of key concepts and applying non-Eurocentric perspectives to key political and historical events. This peer-reviewed journal is multidisciplinary and international in scope.
