Revisiting Religious Freedom as a National Security Lens: The Case of China

Eric Patterson, Piper Smith and Linda Kamau

The Review of Faith & International Affairs, 2023, vol. 21, issue 2, 13-24

Abstract: 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.
