Conclusion. 330 $aThis book traces the connections between diverging postwar European integration policies and intra-Christian divisions to argue that supranational integration originates from Roman Catholic internationalism, and that resistance to integration, conversely, is based in Protestantism. Royce supports this thesis through a rigorously supported historical narrative, arguing that sixteenth-century theological conflicts generated seventeenth-century constitutional solutions, which ultimately effected the political choices both for and against integration during the twentieth century. Beginning with a survey of all ecclesiastical laws of seventeen West European countries and concluding with a full discussion of the Brexit vote and emerging alternatives to the EU, this examination of the political theology surrounding the European Union will appeal to all scholars of EU politics, modern theology, religious sociology, and contemporary European history. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Religion, Politics, and Policy,$x2731-6777 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aPolitics and Religion 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aSociology of Religion 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 14$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPolitics and Religion. 615 24$aRegionalism. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aSociology of Religion. 676 $a320.94 700 $aRoyce$b Mark R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0895203 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255283603321 996 $aThe Political Theology of European Integration$92000054 997 $aUNINA
