Description
In August 2020 The Publication 'On the Significance of Religion in Conflict and Conflict Resolution' was published online in full. Authors: Schliesser, Kadayifci-Orellana, Kollontai. The book is open access or can be purchased from Routledge.  https://www.routledge.com/On-the-Significance-of-Religion-in-Conflict-and-Conflict-Resolution/Schliesser-Kadayifci-Orellana-Kollontai/p/book/9780367433925 In this ground-breaking volume, the authors analyze the role of religion in conflict and conflict resolution. They do so from the perspectives of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, while bringing different disciplines into play, including peace and conflict studies, religious studies, theology, and ethics. With much of current academic, political and public attention focusing on the conflictive dimensions of religion, this book also explores the constructive resources of religion for conflict resolution and reconciliation. Combining cutting-edge research with case studies and concrete implications for academics, policy makers, and practitioners, this concise and easily accessible volume helps to build bridges between these oftentimes separated spheres of engagement. Dr Mark Owen (Director of the Centre of Religion Reconciliation and Peace) speaks with Dr Christine Schliesser to discover more about her journey into this area of research as well as discussing some of her points made in the publication.
