For many years religion has been the neglected component of
international relations and yet in an age of globalization and
terrorism, religious identity has become increasingly important in
the lives of people in the West as well as the developing world.
The secularization thesis has been overtaken by an increased desire
to understand how religious actors contribute to both conflict and
the resolution of conflict. This volume brings an exciting new
perspective with fresh ideas and analyses of the events shaping
conflict and conflict resolution today. The book uniquely combines
chapters highlighting Christian and Islamist theological approaches
to understanding and interpreting conflict, as well as case studies
on the role of religion in US foreign policy and the Iraq war, with
religious perspectives on building peace once conflicts are
resolved. The volume provides an ideal starting point for anyone
wishing to gain a deeper understanding of the religious character
of conflict in the twenty-first century and how such conflict could
be resolved.
