This thesis analyzes national security policies shaped by Christian nationalism in the U.S. and Russia, suggesting implications for global security dynamics.
This thesis serves as a formal expansion into an international and securitized Christian nationalism. The installation of the United States and Russia as Christian nations is analyzed through recent speech acts and national security policies in both nations, ranging from course of action toward Ukraine, several nations across the Middle East, and even the 'non-traditional liberal' West. Exploring how this conservative Christian ideology can be effectively utilized within the national security strategy by the state, this research examines exactly how influential Christian nationalism is through the Copenhagen School of 'securitization'. Using this theory, religions and liberal communities outside of the Christian faith are established and viewed as threats to Christian nationalists and their beloved nation's security.
