Born Again: The Christian Right Globalized (2006) by Jennifer Butler was the first book to analyze how the U.S. Christian Right was building transnational alliances to influence global policy. Drawing on her experience at the UN, Butler exposes how religious conservatives from the U.S., Russia, Latin America, and beyond coordinated efforts to undermine international human rights institutions, attack gender and LGBTQ+ rights, and reshape global norms—using faith as both shield and political weapon.
The Christian Right in Europe (2023), edited by Gionathan Lo Mascolo, examines how religious right actors have expanded across more than 20 European countries. The volume traces how strategies developed in the United States have been localized and advanced through close cooperation with Russian institutions and ideologues. What emerges is not a patchwork, but a remarkably cohesive network—one that blends legal advocacy, political influence, and media operations to challenge gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights and democracy itself.
