Social Cohesion, Peacebuilding, Human Rights, and Dialogue

Increasingly, discussions of religious difference and diversity are moving from the theological and theoretical towards the practical and contextual. This volume explores, through global cases and discussions, questions around social cohesion, peacebuilding, human rights, and dialogue across a range of traditions and locations. The book brings together case studies and authors from North America, Europe, and Australia as well as East and Southeast Asia to form a global dialogue about how religious diversity is conceptualised and enacted. The approach is multidisciplinary with bases in such fields as international relations, religious studies, and sociology, while it provides perspectives that come from both established scholars and up and coming academics.
