Faith-Based Diplomacy
The Work of the Prophets
Introduction
The rise of religion and religious actors combined with nonstate actors increasing influence in the international order has become the new normal. These fundamental changes in the security environment call for a new paradigm to address national security concerns. That paradigm must acknowledge the cultural and historical factors at the heart of many identity-based conflicts and advance the role of nation-states in resolving them.
Faith-Based Diplomacy
This emerging paradigm is faith-based diplomacy, and this book written by one of the world's leading experts describes the principles and methodology of this form of engagement in the strategic political realm. It is informed by twenty-five years of experience in some of the world's roughest neighborhoods, including East Central Europe and the Balkans, Sudan, Kashmir, and the Middle East.
