This book documents the ultramodern rise of the multifaith
movement, as mulitfaith initiatives have been increasingly deployed
as cosmopolitan solutions to counter global risks such as terrorism
and climate change at the turn of the 21st century. These projects
aim to enhance common security, particularly in Western societies
following the events of September 11, 2001 and the July 2005 London
bombings, where multifaith engagement has been promoted as a
strategy to counter violent extremism. The author draws on
interviews with 56 leading figures in the field of multifaith
relations, including Paul Knitter, Eboo Patel, Marcus Braybrooke,
Katherine Marshall, John Voll and Krista Tippett. Identifying the
principle aims of the multifaith movement, the analysis explores
the benefits-and challenges-of multifaith engagement, as well as
the effectiveness of multifaith initiatives in countering the
process of radicalization. Building on notions of cosmopolitanism,
the work proposes a new theoretical framework termed 'Netpeace',
which recognizes the interconnectedness of global problems and
their solutions. In doing so, it acknowledges the capacity of
multi-actor peacebuilding networks, including religious and state
actors, to address the pressing dilemmas of our times. The primary
intention of the book is to assist in the formation of new models
of activism and governance, founded on a 'politics of
understanding' modeled by the multifaith movement.
