Rezensionen

'This innovative and important book argues that successful peace processes must transform relations between groups. It is the first comprehensive and systematic study of the role of identity and religion in peace processes, and it provides a compelling account of how the transition from enemies to neighbours can be achieved. The book combines theoretical sophistication with rich case studies and is a must-read for scholars, students, and policymakers with an interest in peace processes.'

Nina Caspersen, University of York, UK

'Identity and Religion in Peace Processes is a much-needed contribution to debates on how and why some peace processes manage to transform relations between different groups in conflict and others do not. This book sharpens our focus on the role of identity and religion not just in conflicts, but in peace processes, and explores the approaches and mechanisms by which these were addressed, with varying levels of success, in a range of contemporary case studies. The insights this collection yields will be of great interest and value to scholars and peacemakers alike.'

Jasmine-Kim Westendorf, La Trobe University, Australia

'This book fills a critical gap with which our field has long struggled; the issue of religion in protracted conflicts. We have always known that religion is a central issue in many such conflicts, but we have not had a tool with which to approach it effectively in both practical and theoretical terms. The BRIDGE model introduced in this book gives us that tool. This is an important book.'

Peter Jones, University of Ottawa
