Sectarianism and Identity Politics:
Sectarianism can be understood as either fixed communal categories or a set of social practices.
Sectarianism is often not purely "religious" or "political", but rather complex and multi-faceted.
The term "sectarianism" has been critiqued for being too ambiguous and simplifying complex conflicts.
Scholars differentiate between "sectarianism" (antipathy between groups) and "sectarianization" (mobilization of identity markers for political goals).
Intersectionality is increasingly important in understanding how factors like gender, ethnicity, and social status intersect with sectarian identity.
Authoritarian regimes have been known to exploit sectarian identities to maintain power and control.
Scholars study sectarian discourses through approaches like primordialism, instrumentalism, and constructivism.
Sectarian tensions have historical roots that have influenced conflicts and shaping societies in various regions like Ireland, the Middle East, and Yemen.
Sectarianism in conflicts like in Syria or Yemen has complex socio-political, historical, and external factors at play that go beyond religious divides.
Saudi Arabia’s treatment and discrimination of its Shi’ite population is a notable example of sectarianism.
Lebanon’s political system is built on sectarian lines and has deep historical roots.
