Summary
Originally articulated to explain European developments, the narrative of secularization has been applied to many different contexts across the globe. Does this narrative help explain historical developments in the Middle East, in India and/or in China? Or does it obscure historical transformations by uniformly applying a European concept to widely differing regions across the globe? What is so attractive about the discourses of secularisation and secularism that we turn to them again and again?
