RT Article T1 Revisiting Religious Freedom as a National Security Lens: The Case of China JF The review of faith & international affairs VO 21 IS 2 SP 13 OP 24 A1 Patterson, Eric A1 Smith, Piper A1 Kamau, Linda LA English PB Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group YR 2023 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1846248191 AB The distressing state of global democracy and religious liberty provides scholars and foreign policy practitioners an opportunity to rethink national security analysis by considering religious freedom as a national security lens. This article reprises the primary author’s framework, published ten years ago in The Review of Faith & International Affairs, assessing “what they say and do” on religious freedom as a means to understand threats and challenges to global peace and U.S. national security. This article analyzes a specific case—how China treats religion at home, among its neighbors, on the international stage, and in its political ideology.
