This Handbook breaks new ground by addressing global security
through the lens of religion and examining the role religion plays
in both war and peace. In recent years there has been a
considerable upsurge of public concern about the role of religion
in contemporary violence. However, other than historical materials,
there has been a relative neglect of the subject of religion and
security. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Security fills
this gap in the literature by providing an interdisciplinary,
comprehensive volume that helps non-specialists and experts alike
understand how religion is both part of the problem and part of the
solution to security challenges. Featuring contributions from many
of the key thinkers in the field, the Handbook is organized into
thematic sections, reflective of three basic questions: What does
religion think of security?; What does security think of religion?;
and, What happens when the two are mixed in specific real-world
cases of religious conflict? This Handbook offers analyses of how
nine different world religions have related to issues of war and
peace, theologically and practically; overviews of how scholars and
practitioners in nine different topical areas of security studies
have (or have not) dealt with the relationship between religion and
security; and five case studies of particular countries in which
the religion--security nexus is vividly illustrated: Nigeria,
India, Israel, the former Yugoslavia and Iraq. This Handbook will
be of great interest to students of religion, security studies, war
and conflict studies and IR in general.
