Religious Actors and Conflict Transformation in Southeast Asia
Drawing on a rich body of multimethod field research, this book examines the ways in which Indonesian and Philippine religious actors have fostered conflict resolution and under what conditions these efforts have been met with success or limited success. The book addresses two central questions: In what ways, and to what extent, have post-conflict peacebuilding activities of Christian churches contributed to conflict transformation in Mindanao (Philippines) and Maluku (Indonesia)? And to what extent have these church-based efforts been affected by specific economic, political, or social contexts? Based on extensive fieldwork, the study operates with a nested, multi-dimensional, and multi-lay...
Victims of International Crimes: An Interdisciplinary Discourse
In international law victims' issues have gained more and more attention over the last decades. In particular in transitional justice processes the victim is being given high priority. It is to be seen in this context that the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court foresees a rather excessive victim participation concept in criminal prosecution. In this volume issue is taken at first with the definition of victims, and secondly with the role of the victim as a witness and as a participant. Several chapters address this matter with a view to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) and the Trial against Demjanjuk in Germany. In a third part the interests of the victims outside the criminal trial are being discussed. In the final part the role of civil society actors are being tackled. This volume thus gives an overview of the role of victims in transitional justice processes from an interdisciplinary angle, combining academic research and practical experience.
Identity and Religion in Peace Processes
This book examines the complex role identity and religion play in global peace processes. Based on multiple case studies, this book unveils the complex role identity and religion play in peace processes across the globe. It demonstrates that the success and sustainability of a peace process depends on the systemic application of the BRIDGE model that is introduced here. This model describes five major strategies (Bonding, Reassuring, Involving, Determining Guides, and Equalizing) and numerous tactics for how peace processes and accords can deal with the central issues as well as important common challenges that run through identity-based ethnonational or religious conflicts. This represents ...

Indien verstehen
Dieses Buch zeigt neue Wege auf, Indien zu verstehen. Hierzu werden aus kritischer Perspektive folgende fünf Thesen zu Politik, Gesellschaft und Kultur reflektiert: Es gibt kein Kastensystem. Es gibt keinen Hinduismus. Indien ist kein Beispiel für friedliche, inter-religiöse Koexistenz. Indien ist keine Weltmacht. Gandhi war kein Heiliger und kein Rassist. Diese Thesen eröffnen die Möglichkeit, konventionelle Indienbilder zu hinterfragen, mit dem Ziel, sich dem „Phänomen“ Indien durch veränderte Blickwinkel und neuen Erkenntnissen anzunähern. Der vorliegende Sammelband ist das Ergebnis eines Lehrforschungsprojektes, das an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg durchgeführt wurde.
Philosophical Perspectives on Contemporary Ireland
This is the first book to bring a philosophical lens to issues of socio-political and cultural importance in twenty-first century Ireland. While the social, political, and economic landscape of contemporary Ireland has inspired extensive scholarly debate both within and well beyond the field of Irish Studies, there is a distinct lack of philosophical voices in these discussions. The aim of this volume is to enrich the fields of Philosophy and Irish Studies by encouraging a manifestly philosophical exploration of contemporary issues and concerns. The essays in this volume collectively address diverse philosophical questions on contemporary Ireland by exploring a variety of themes, including: ...
