Summary:
This collection of twelve essays on religion in social, political, and military conflicts, explores the role of religious leaders in both peacekeeping and the escalation of hostilities. The work discusses topics such as the relationships between religious leaders, religious belief, and state authority; social mobilizations; tolerant and intolerant social stratification; and rhetorical justifications for war and peace. Articles focus on conflicts around the world including Israel-Palestine, Northern Ireland, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and Kashmir. Contributors are academics in political science, international relations, and related fields from primarily American universities. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
