Religion, the Missing Dimension of Statecraft

Religion, the Missing Dimension of Statecraft

by JimmyCarter (Foreword), Douglas Johnston (Foreword), Cynthia Sampson (Foreword)

Synopsis

Written by a distinguished roster of scholars, the cases presented span the globe, with examples from Europe, Central America, Asia, and Africa. Additional essays summarize the findings of these case studies to bring out their implications for foreign policy and the religious community. In the Foreword, former President Jimmy Carter states that the book poses a challenge to diplomats and politicians, religious figures and laypersons, analysts and academics alike. Conceived to help call attention to and reinforce the positive contribution that religious and spiritual influences can bring to peacemaking, this important study offers practical guidelines for the future application of this kind of peacemaking in existing and incipient conflict situations.
