Religious dimension of contemporary conflicts and the rise of
faith-based movements worldwide require policymakers to identify
the channels through which religious leaders can play a
constructive role. While religious fundamentalisms are in the news
every day, we do not hear about the potential and actual role of
religious actors in creating a peaceful and just society.
Countering this trend, Sandal draws attention to how religious
actors helped prepare the ground for stabilizing political
initiatives, ranging from abolition of apartheid (South Africa), to
the signing of the Lome Peace Agreement (Sierra Leone). Taking
Northern Ireland as a basis and using declarations and speeches of
more than forty years, this book builds a new perspective that
recognizes the religious actors' agency, showing how religious
actors can have an impact on public opinion and policymaking in
today's world.
