Overall Conclusion: Giving Up on the Ten Commandments: Not a Good Idea for Society?. 330 $aThis book provides a groundbreaking empirical study on the persistence of religious morality in an increasingly secular world. Analyzing data from the 2019?2022 World Values Survey and European Values Survey, it examines religious adherence and morality across 82 countries and over 400 political parties. Using advanced index methodologies, the study reveals where and how religious norms, particularly those rooted in the Ten Commandments, continue to shape social values and how this affects political party support. Essential for scholars, policymakers, and religious communities, this book challenges the notion that secularization is inevitable and explores the complex relationship between faith, politics, and global development. ?In this book, Arno Tausch, a political scientist associated with the University of the Free State in South Africa, impressively demonstrates that the Western political left would be well advised to return to the fundamental values of social democracy that are open to world religions, as set out by Karl Polanyi, rather than following the ideas of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler. From the perspective of the Global South, he radically reveals how the Western world is moving away from the ethical imperatives of world religions. This is a disturbing yet highly topical issue, as evidenced by the recent elections in America.? Werner J. Patzelt, Professor Emeritus of Political Systems and Comparative Politics, TU Dresden / MCC Brussels, Visiting Professor of Research ?Incisive and erudite, Arno Tausch?s latest offering Global Publics, Political Parties and Morality: An analysis based on the World Values Survey is a magnificent account of the state of the politicisation of faith in different contexts. Theoretically anchored and empirically rich, this book is a must for those seeking to grapple with the place of religion in our fragile polities?.
