<div>Do fundamentalisms tend toward political activism, and how <br>successful have they been in remaking political structures? <br>To answer this question, the contributors to this volume-- <br>political scientists, historians of religion, <br>anthropologists, and sociologists--discuss the anti- <br>abortion movement, Operation Rescue in the United States, the <br>Islamic war of resistance in Afghanistan, Shi'ite <br>jurisprudence in Iran, and other issues. The volume <br>considers the effect that antisecular religious movements <br>have had over the past twenty-five years on national <br>economies, political parties, constitutional issues, and <br>international relations on five continents and within the <br>traditions of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, <br>Hinduism, and Sikhism. Marty and Appleby conclude with a <br>synthetic statement on the fundamentalist impact on polities, <br>economies, and state security. <br>The Fundamentalism Project, Volume 3 <br><br>Martin E.
