Title: GLOBAL POLITICS AND THE QUESTION OF SHARI'A: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE WINTER 2012 ISSUE
Abstract:
What type of law is shari'a? Does Islam require its
implementation by the state? Can the shari'a be compatible with modern
democracy and pluralist citizenship? Or is the law effectively
human-rights-restricting with respect to women, non-Muslims, and Muslims
who profess a non-conforming variety of the faith? These are among the
questions addressed in the Winter 2012 issue of The Review of
Faith & International Affairs, a special issue on "The Rise of
Shari'a: Implications for Democracy and Human Rights."

Title: DEBATING THE ISLAMIC SHARI'A IN 21-super-st-CENTURY EGYPT
Abstract:
In Egypt, over the course of the 20th century, the shari'a
moved from a specialized discourse for religiously-trained scholars to a
subject of a very contentious political debate. As the 20th century
closed, the contention subsided, but that apparent consensus did not
prevent deep differences from emerging, and those have become especially
clear in recent years. Egypt's post-revolutionary political environment
has already begun to revolve in part around debates about the shari'a. The
differences center less on the shari'a's content and more on interpretive
authority: who has the qualifications to interpret the shari'a and which
parts of it (and whose interpretations) should be legally binding.

Title: SHARI'A IN THE POLITICS OF SAUDI ARABIA
Abstract:
Shari'a holds a unique position in Saudi Arabia. It is the
constitution of the state, the sole formal source of political legitimacy,
and the law of the land, or common law. It is avowed as the solitary
source of binding norms for the civil and private spheres, shaping and
justifying social, communal, and family mores as well as individual
morality. Most fundamentally, it is the central conception of the religion
to which every Saudi citizen formally belongs, laying down the intricate
rules of ritual practices, among them pilgrimage to the holy places which
the Kingdom administers. So when we consider shari'a politics in Saudi
Arabia, we engage a more comprehensive set of questions than we do for
most countries. In Saudi Arabia "shari'a politics" is not only one strand
or subject within politics; shari'a is implicated in all politics.

Title: ETHICAL NOT SHARI'A ISLAM: ISLAMIC DEBATES IN TURKEY
Abstract:
Shari'a rhetoric should be contextualized within broader
socio-political circumstances. Conditions that lead to shari'a rhetoric
are: incomplete national integration where tribalism and sectarianism
dominate political debate; weak political institutions that fail to
fulfill their functions; inadequate social and judicial justice; an absent
or weak rule of law; and the unequal distribution of income. In these
societies, shari'a promises order and justice. The call for shari'a is
usually a call for a strong state and the restoration of the rule of law.
In Turkey, however, the debate over Islam's relationship to the state is
about the redistribution of local and national resources, power-sharing,
defining a national identity, and creating a new normative order to live
together.

Title: THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN: SHARI'A POLITICS AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF ISLAMIC LAW
Abstract:
Although in many Muslim societies, there is a great deal of
popular enthusiasm for strengthening criminal codes by relying on shari'a
rulings, Iran's Islamic experience of the past three decades has led to
very different viewpoints about shari'a and its compatibility with the
modern legal structures of a Muslim-majority country. Studying the Iranian
case shows how difficult it is to implement laws based on shari'a.
Moreover, the disillusioning experiences of clerical despotism since the
Revolution of 1979, corruption, gross mismanagement of Iran's faltering
economy, harsh suppression of dissent, and an even harsher stance on
criminal justice (codified in the Islamic Penal Code) have provoked
increasing alienation and anticlericalism in Iran.

Title: SHARI'A IN AFGHANISTAN
Abstract:
The Afghan population as a whole sees shari'a as a set of
Islamic rules and practices that also reflects national traditions and
mores. This perspective mixes orthodox Islamic laws with local customs and
assumes that the two could never be in conflict. Rural Afghans in
particular presume their customary practices must naturally be in accord
with Islamic principles. Their belief that shari'a principles are the
foundation of government and social life is so strong that few secular
modernists have been willing to challenge it outright. Except for the
early period of the socialist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan
(1978-92), Afghan reformists never sought the disestablishment of religion
from the state, as was done in Turkey. Instead, the Afghan modernist
strategy was to praise shari'a principles in theory while creating a
system that allowed secular state laws to override it in practice.

Title: SHARI'A AND THE STATE IN PAKISTAN
Abstract:
In Pakistan, Muslim "modernists" are characterized above all
by the desire to rethink and adapt Muslim practices, institutions, and
norms in light of what they understand to be the true "spirit" of Islam
and in light of the imperatives of modernity. Islamists share much with
the modernists in their intellectual background, but the Islamists'
single-minded concern with the public implementation of Islamic norms sets
them apart. There are differences between the ulama and
the Islamists, too. Many among the ulama are critical of
what they see as the excessively politicized view of Islam held by
Islamists. However, the interests of the ulama and the
Islamists often converge on the question of the public implementation of
the shari'a.

Title: SHARI'A POLITICS AND INDONESIAN DEMOCRACY
Abstract:
Recent Indonesian history offers a panoply of trends with
regards to the politics of Islamic law. On one hand, since the 1940s
Indonesia has witnessed campaigns by small but militant Islamist groups
dedicated to a notably unreformed and anti-liberal version of Islamic law.
On the other hand, Indonesia also has one of the largest and most
sophisticated traditions of pluralist Muslim scholarship anywhere in the
world. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Indonesia's State Islamic
Colleges generated an array of sophisticated scholars who, while
well-versed in the Islamic sciences and fiqh, provided
forceful arguments in support of the compatibility of Islamic law with
democracy, citizen rights, and the rule of law.

Title: INTERNATIONAL GOOD FAITH: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE 10-super-TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE
Abstract:
Even though Franklin D. Roosevelt stressed the essential
connection between religious freedom, democracy, and reason in
international relations, most foreign affairs elites ignored this
connection for the rest of the 20-super-th century. A foreign affairs
field bereft of a deep understanding of religion and of an integral
religious freedom vision would inevitably leave America less able to
understand and respond to global challenges. Acutely aware of this
"religion gap," in 2003 the Institute for Global Engagement launched
The Review of Faith & International Affairs. The tenth
anniversary issue (Spring 2013) notes areas of progress in the field, but
also many remaining needs.

Title: THE FIRST HUMAN RIGHT: RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND THE AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC TRADITION
Abstract:
Although presidential administrations have promoted and
protected religious liberty abroad fitfully and inconsistently, the
freedom of religion has long been seen as both a symptom of, and a cure
for, tensions within the United States' relations with the wider world. In
keeping with a faith-inflected version of democratic peace theory, many US
foreign policy makers have perceived the absence of religious liberty in
foreign countries as a warning sign that such countries will behave
aggressively. The clearest expression of this worldview came during what
was perhaps America's gravest foreign policy challenge: the world crisis
of the late 1930s and the outbreak of World War II.

Title: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND US PUBLIC DIPLOMACY
Abstract:
Although the United States has had its own problems with
religion-based intolerance, in comparison with much of the rest of the
world America's religion-related legal and societal institutions can be
proudly displayed to global publics as examples of US national character.
Yet despite possessing this valuable soft power asset, US policymakers
have tended to be reluctant to put it to use as part of public diplomacy
efforts. Official reticence about religion stems largely from failure to
fully understand the fundamental constitutional principle of separation of
church and state. Inhibitions about using religious freedom as a central
element of American foreign policy should be overcome.

Title: WHAT THEY SAY AND DO: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AS A NATIONAL SECURITY LENS
Abstract:
Counterintuitive to the traditional national security expert,
who still tends to focus only on "hard power" factors rather than "soft"
issues like human rights, religious freedom can be newly envisioned as a
comprehensive framework through which to analyze the ideational impulses
and resulting policies of leaders and regimes that pose risks to US
national security. By looking at (a) a country's political pronouncements,
(b) how it treats its own people, (c) how it acts in its neighborhood, and
(d) how it acts on the international stage regarding religious liberty,
the US can achieve a thoughtful, additional lens for evaluating security
concerns.

Title: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND PEACEBUILDING: MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TWO?
Abstract:
Religious freedom is a critical enabler of peace. Conversely,
the lack of religious freedom is a demonstrable cause of violence.
Religious freedom, then, ought to be incorporated into the US government's
efforts to promote global democracy, the settlement of wars, the reduction
of terrorism, and other goals related to peacebuilding. Non-governmental
organizations and scholars engaged in peacebuilding ought to integrate
religious freedom into their best practices and methodologies as well.
Similarly, US government agencies, scholars, and advocacy groups that
focus of religious freedom should incorporate the link to peacebuilding
into their work.

Title: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN US INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AND HUMANITARIAN RELIEF: IDEAS, PRACTICE, AND ISSUES
Abstract:
In the development community, religious freedom issues have
not generally been addressed as a separate or distinct issue, but rather
within the broader construct of the role of human rights in development. A
more focused approach is needed today. Religious freedom issues present
some unique challenges and, while this set of rights is fundamentally an
integral part of human rights more broadly, the distinctive elements that
apply to religious freedom deserve more focus than they have received. The
stakes are often high-and as such, distinctive and nuanced consideration
of these issues needs to be better incorporated into development analyses,
dialogues, education, and policy development processes.

Title: OPPORTUNITIES AND OBSTACLES: CONGRESS AND INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM POLICY
Abstract:
The current climate in Congress, one of polarization and
gridlock, impedes legislative effectiveness. The legislative work pace has
slowed, internal rancor has risen, and public trust is low. Such a climate
makes substantive change difficult but not impossible. Those who seek to
promote international religious freedom in the congressional arena need to
find ways to forge bipartisan coalitions and be creative, vigilant, and
timely in their use of the tools available to them. The story of the
passage of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom
Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2011 illustrates some of the
opportunities and challenges of Congressional work on IRF policy.

Title: NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS: DOING THEIR SHARE FOR INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Abstract:
A growing number of American NGOs have sought to better
integrate religious freedom into US government policy. An instructive
example is the NGO role in overturning the UN "defamation of religion"
resolutions. Preparing position papers and arguments, submitting
statements, testifying at hearings, developing good working relationships
with policymakers, delegates, and key players in the decision-making
process, using the media, especially social media-all these are means by
which NGOs influence the development of policies that protect freedom of
religion or belief. The challenge remains, however, to encourage NGOs to
coordinate their efforts among themselves as well as with governmental
allies.

Title: INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE DEFAMATION OF RELIGION CONUNDRUM
Abstract:
Since the late 1990s there has been a concerted effort by
many Muslim-majority countries and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC) to incorporate a ban on "defamation of religion" into international
law. In 2011, the UN Human Rights Council adopted, with the support of the
OIC, Resolution 16/18, which shifted away from the idea of defamation to
focus more narrowly on combating religious intolerance. However the idea
of banning "defamation" still has currency. The US should continually
strive to contextualize this issue, to emphasize non-legal responses, and
to recommend legal responses that are based upon narrowly defined legal
categories such as hate speech.

Title: FAITH, FREEDOM, AND US FOREIGN POLICY: AVOIDING THE PROVERBIAL CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA
Abstract:
In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the primary weakness of
US foreign policy, particularly in Southeast Asia which is home to the
largest Muslim community in the world, was that it was driven by concerns
over archipelagic Southeast Asia as the "second front" in the "global war
against terror." Military warfare and coercive legislation and enforcement
are grossly inadequate in winning the hearts and minds of a community.
Religion-wise, Asia is not a tabula rosa. Many religions
have long co-existed in Asia. The virtues of religious freedom are not
alien to Asia but need nurturing given the dominant imperatives of
governance, control, and economic growth.

Title: US INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM POLICY FROM AN EGYPTIAN PERSPECTIVE
Abstract:
Repression and exclusion only lead to radicalization and
terrorism. Similarly, democracy and freedom, combined with effective rule
of law, contribute to the moderation of all religious and political groups
by allowing a free marketplace of ideas where every citizen is equally
capable of presenting his/her views in the public square. In such a
diverse landscape, the United States should not take the side of any party
over another, and should acknowledge the sovereignty of the new Egypt and
respect its public will, as well as its religious and cultural character.
There is no greater threat to religious freedom than authoritarianism,
whether secular or theocratic.

Title: THE US CONCERN FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE
Abstract:
The concern shown by the United States for the fast declining
extent and scope of religious liberty around the globe has indeed been
laudable. The modalities adopted by the concerned US agencies for
procuring annual reports on the state of religious liberty and tolerance
in various countries have not, however, been free from flaws and
loopholes. Experience shows that these modalities need to be reviewed and
restructured. The contents, coverage, and tenor of the reports too require
a careful reconsideration. Local inputs from within the countries reported
on, furnished by misinformed or prejudiced sources as these may sometimes
be, are often inaccurate and one-sided.

Title: US FOREIGN POLICY AND THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN PAKISTAN
Abstract:
Pakistan has received criticism for its lack of democratic
institutions, the unsatisfactory response to sectarian and religious
violence, its failure to protect minorities, and the highly abused
Blasphemy Law. It needs to look in the mirror and make meaningful reforms,
especially in regulating madrassahs. However, American efforts to promote
international religious freedom (IRF) will not be successful in countries
with powerful religious communities so long as there is mistrust about the
US role in international affairs. To justify its IRF policies, the United
States needs to focus on issues such as democratization, human rights,
good governance, and poverty reduction.

Title: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM BEYOND RIGHTS: RETROSPECTIVE LESSONS FOR CANADA FROM AMERICA'S OFFICE OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Abstract:
American leadership on international religious freedom (IRF)
has produced institutional and policy innovations, scholarship, and
practical training that has paid dividends in other countries, including
Canada, which has recently set up an IRF Office within its department of
foreign affairs. Canada can learn a great deal retrospectively from the
American experience. The single most important challenge for the Canadian
Office is one that continues to persist also for the American Office: how
to move religious freedom beyond a mere human rights issue and into a
sustained and serious expertise on religion in global affairs at the
disposal of diplomacy, defence, and development.

Title: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RESEARCH AND THE FUTURE OF ASIAN STUDIES: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SUMMER 2013 ISSUE
Abstract:
In the Summer 2013 issue of The Review of Faith &
International Affairs, experts on eight countries of
East/Southeast Asia-China (Fenggang Yang), Indonesia (Robert W. Hefner),
Singapore (Mathew Mathews), the Philippines (Jayeel Cornelio), Burma
(Mikael Gravers), Vietnam (James F. Lewis), Laos (Stephen Bailey), and
Japan (Kevin Cooney) assess the state of existing scholarly research on
religious freedom. In most cases they find that serious scholarly research
focused directly on religious freedom is a rarity. They offer theories to
explain the past patterns of research on religion, and make detailed
recommendations for future research projects on religious freedom that
would enrich the multi-disciplinary field of Asian Studies.

Title: A RESEARCH AGENDA ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN CHINA
Abstract:
Although the subject of religious freedom in China has
appeared frequently in international news and human rights reports, it has
been understudied by academic scholars. To follow the principle of
shi shi qiu shi (to seek truth in facts, as promoted by
Deng Xiaoping since the late 1970s as a new Chinese Communist policy
principle), scholarly research ought to find facts and to develop
theoretical explanations of the facts. Research does not have to become
"political" in the narrow sense of antagonism or holding an ideological
position. Rather it would be political in the best sense of politics,
which is of, relating to, or concerned with the public interest. The
conceptual, regulatory, and civil society dimensions of religious freedom
would be particularly fruitful research areas in China today.

Title: THE STUDY OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN INDONESIA
Abstract:
In Indonesia, the largest Muslim-majority country in the
word, issues of religion-state relations have long loomed large, in part
because of zig-zag shifts in this country's politics and associated
challenges for religious tolerance, social freedoms, and citizenship.
Although it is only in the past decade that research on Indonesia has been
explicitly reframed in relation to religious freedom, issues directly
relevant to the topic have long figured in studies of Indonesian politics,
constitutionalism, and religious violence. The significance of this
research lies in the way in which it shows that research must take into
account competing models of human flourishing.

Title: UNDERSTANDING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN SINGAPORE
Abstract:
Much of the scholarship on religious freedom in Singapore is
situated within broader questions of the actions of the nation-state on
religion. The Singaporean state, which is sometimes referred to as a soft
authoritarian regime, justifies its intrusion and disciplining of religion
based on the mandate of its citizens to ensure optimum levels of economic
development and a harmonious society. Scholars have examined state
religious policies, speeches of government officials, and court cases to
analyze how the state justifies giving and restricting religious freedom.
The Singaporean model of religion-state relations can best be described as
an accommodative secularist model.

Title: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN THE PHILIPPINES: FROM LEGALITIES TO LIVED EXPERIENCE
Abstract:
Religious freedom has been a key facet of its various
Constitutions since the day the Philippines became Asia's first democratic
republic in 1899. The immediate religious context of the Philippines,
however, renders these provisions difficult to uphold consistently. The
Catholic Church remains influential to politics and policy formulation,
and at the same time the religious landscape is increasingly diverse due
to immigration. Past academic discussion on religious freedom in the
Philippines has been mainly among legal scholars. In the future greater
attention should be focused on the subjective and everyday experience of
religious freedom.

Title: SPIRITUAL POLITICS, POLITICAL RELIGION, AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN BURMA
Abstract:
The 2008 constitution of Burma (or Myanmar) ostensibly
protects religious freedom, yet Buddhism has always had a special
position. Research on religion in general, much less religious freedom
specifically, has long been limited due to military rule since 1962.
Fortunately, the situation for scholarly inquiry since the 2010 elections
has begun to change. Burma Studies should take advantage of new openings
to research the religious freedom dimensions of four key topical areas:
(1) political interpretations and uses of Buddhist ideas, discourse, and
practices; (2) the phenomenon of socially and politically engaged Buddhist
monks; (3) Buddhist-Muslim conflict; and (4) Buddhist-Christian conflict.

Title: VIETNAMESE RELIGIONS, ASIAN STUDIES, AND THE RULE OF LAW
Abstract:
While the topic of human rights has become more prominent in
studies of Southeast Asia, systematic research on religious freedom and
rule of law has been difficult in Vietnam. After the economic
liberalization of 1986, scholars saw new trends, as religions grew in size
and aspirations in spite of scant policy relaxation. There have been
shifts in state discourse and ideology on religion. Future religious
freedom research should: examine not just macro factors but also the
interests and passions of ordinary people; better integrate religious
freedom studies with ethnic studies; and expand data sources and
methodologies for comparative empirical studies.

Title: LAOS AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM STUDIES
Abstract:
Laos is an under-researched state, and religious freedom is
an especially under-researched topic. Future research should examine: the
extent to which experiences with the free market (especially as it relates
to foreign investment), diverse sources of information, foreign
educational opportunities, and religious pluralism are preparing the
ground for the rule of law in Laos; the understanding of, and response to,
religious freedom within the minority religious communities themselves;
and the meaning and role of individualistic conceptions of human rights in
general, and individual religious liberty in particular, for social
environments that emphasize the family, community, and nation over the
individual.

Title: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN JAPAN: RESEARCH NEEDS IN HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE
Abstract:
Today Japan is in many ways more religiously free than most
Western nations, although levels of religiosity are also comparatively
quite low. Key areas for research freedom related research include: the
historical causes of Japan's astonishingly rapid turnaround post-World War
II from a nation that actively discriminated against minority religious
groups to one that supports religious freedom; religious freedom
conditions in Japan's prisons and detention facilities; challenges of
cultural integration of immigrants bringing greater religious diversity to
Japan; faith-based charity and disaster relief; and the small but still
worrisome faction of nationalist Japanese who are seeking to reestablish
state-sponsored Shintoism.

Title: FAITH, FREEDOM, AND FALSIFIABILITY: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE FALL 2013 ISSUE
Abstract:
The concept and definition of "religious freedom" is
increasingly being called into question, as is governmental promotion of
international religious freedom. But neither proponents nor critics are
entitled to blanket benefit of the doubt, and the "field" of religious
freedom studies is relatively underdeveloped when it comes to basic
empirical data and the testing of falsifiable hypotheses. The Fall 2013
issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs
presents a diverse array of original studies that help to fill some of the
gaps in the existing literature and point up directions for future
research.

Title: CROSS-NATIONAL INFLUENCES ON SOCIAL HOSTILITIES INVOLVING RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS ON RELIGION
Abstract:
Recent empirical research conducted by the Pew Research
Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life documents how social hostilities
and government restrictions involving religion have cross-national impacts
or influences. Data from a large ongoing research project demonstrates
that there are six broad manifestations of these cross-border dynamics: 1)
tensions over the religion of immigrants and refugees; 2) religious
extremism spreading from country to country; 3) attempts by governments to
influence religious affairs in other countries; 4) religion-related
terrorism by individuals or groups who come from abroad or are supported
from abroad; 5) hostile reactions to religion-related events that have
occurred in another country; and 6) religion-related wars or armed
conflicts

Title: THE POLITICS OF RELIGIOUS OUTBIDDING
Abstract:
In many contexts today it is clear that religious minorities
will face escalating discrimination and persecution. The reason is simple:
threatened political elites often seek support or attempt to demobilize
opposition by reframing secular conflicts as religious conflicts in a
process of religious outbidding. Religious outbidding has led not only to
intensified discrimination in employment, worship, and education, but to
large-scale violence, including civil war. In Muslim-majority countries,
elites are increasing relying on two options to bolster their credibility:
1) introducing and intensifying shari'a law; and then (2) scapegoating
those they deemed as threats to their vision of the role of religion in
public life.

Title: DO THE PROMISES OF RELIGION TO DEMOCRACY STILL HOLD?
Abstract:
The long tradition of theoretical and empirical scholarship
on democracy suggests a modest hypothesis: that religion typically serves
to sustain and undergird democratic life across most, but not necessarily
all, cultural contexts. Data from several recent national and
multi-national surveys confirm that in most cases religion does hold
promise for democracy, as it contributes to the development of citizens
who exhibit qualities required of members of a democratic society,
through: generating greater public engagement, creating a concern for the
greater good, developing important civic capacities, and fostering
democratic values and virtues.

Title: PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIANITY AND CHURCH-STATE RELATIONS IN CHINA: THE CASE OF THE TRUE JESUS CHURCH MOVEMENT
Abstract:
In-depth study of the True Jesus Church, a completely
indigenous Pentecostal Chinese religious group that has experienced
dramatic growth in recent years, reveals the complex and diverse reality
of variation in church-state relationships in China. The True Jesus Church
is distinct in that, in many regions, it is not a part of the overall
"Three-Self Patriotic Movement" structure, nor does it belong to the
"house church" movement. In China today, a society where an overarching
rule-of-law system is missing, fates of religious congregations often lie
in the hands of local bureaucrats. The quality of relationships-the
"Guanxi"- with the local government often determines the degree of freedom
for religious practices.

Title: THE PROMISE OF CANADA'S OFFICE OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Abstract:
Canada has become the newest country to establish a special
office within its foreign policy institutions dedicated to advancing the
cause of religious freedom around the world. On February 19, 2013, at an
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at in Toronto, Ontario, Canadian Prime Minister
Stephen Harper officially announced the establishment of Canada's Office
of Religious Freedom (ORF) and the appointment of its first ambassador,
Dr. Andrew P.W. Bennett. By its own admission, Canada borrowed the idea of
an Office of Religious Freedom from the United States. Yet the origins and
development of the concept of religious freedom in Canada are notably
different from the United States.

Title: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING THE PROMOTION OF FREEDOM OF RELIGION OR BELIEF IN ITALIAN FOREIGN POLICY
Abstract:
Italy recently joined the growing group of countries with
dedicated policies for the protection and promotion of freedom of religion
or belief in its foreign policy. The records of two recent Ministers of
Foreign Affairs, Franco Frattini and Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata, show
increased engagement, both bi-laterally and within the EU, on religious
freedom. Italy played an important role in the development of new EU
guidelines on religious freedom promotion, has been active at the UN in
opposing resolutions on "defamation of religion," and has recently
established a unique, and possibly problematic, new institution, the
Italian Oversight Committee for Religious Freedom.

Title: CRITICAL-PROGRESSIVE MUSLIM THOUGHT: REFLECTIONS ON ITS POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS
Abstract:
Many of the contemporary political conflicts in
Muslim-majority countries are said to pit modern secularists against the
"backward" Islamists. However an important stream of contemporary Muslim
thought-critical-progressive Muslim thought-refuses to accept either a
hegemony of Western secularism or a hegemony of Islamist fundamentalism.
Critical-progressive Muslim scholar-activists are reinterpreting the
normative teachings of the Muslim worldview and developing a distinctive
third-way approach. There are several key political and policy
ramifications of this stream of thought, including a robust commitment to
religious freedom, but within Islamic terms, not terms dictated by
non-Muslim Westerners preoccupied with their own security interests.

Title: THE PEACE CORPS: GATEWAY TO A NEW LIFE
Abstract: The author went to Liberia in 1965 as a Peace Corps Volunteer, at the urging of Samuel DeWitt Proctor. While there, he preached in local African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) churches and helped establish a school library. His faith allowed him access to many of Liberia's government leaders, and he was able to engage in levels of service and leadership not normally experienced by a Peace Corps volunteer. The struggles of his Liberian peers prompted him to become serious about theological, educational, social, and political issues. He returned to Liberia when he was elected a Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Title: CROSS-CULTURAL SERVICE AS A SOURCE FOR INTELLECTUAL BRIDGE-BUILDING
Abstract: The author accepted an invitation from James H. Robinson to participate in Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) in 1971. She had a desire to travel to Africa in memory of her ancestors who had been forcibly driven from their homeland, and her OCA group was the largest group of African American Crossroaders since the program began in 1958. The lessons she learned building a library alongside Liberian coworkers apply to her role today as a theological educator; the contextual nature of womanist epistemology is similar to the international work camp: both require the participant to cross new boundaries with care.

Title: EQUIPPING THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS FOR GLOBAL FAITH-BASED SERVICE
Abstract: North American theological education institutions are increasingly aware of the challenges and opportunities posed by globalization, and many have welcomed more international students, expanded missiology course offerings, and encouraged cross-cultural encounters. A more intentional relationship between international religious voluntary organizations and theological educational institutions is needed in three areas: mapping Christian traditions of international service, promoting further partnerships, and facilitating assessment. Historically black colleges, universities, and theological seminaries are among the most effective educational institutions perpetuating volunteerism. As students encounter individuals of different race, faith, and socioeconomic status, their theological education should equip them with methodologies that deepen their understanding of cultural diversity.

Title: A NEW PARADIGM OF FOREIGN ENGAGEMENT: THE LEGACY OF DR. JAMES H. ROBINSON
Abstract: Dr. James H. Robinson founded Operation Crossroads Africa, which enabled young North Americans to work at the grassroots level with young Africans. At a time when the image of the United States on the African continent was a mixed bag, Robinson was welcomed everywhere and had direct access to the new leaders seeking to build independent nation-states. He recognized the importance of personal diplomacy, the soft power of generosity, and the smart power of cultural exchange and foreign aid. He understood how faith could help build social capital, shape the moral discourse, influence civic participation, transform communities, and provide direct services.

Title: A LEGACY OF FAITH AND SERVICE
Abstract: The author participated as an Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) volunteer in Togo in 1982. Her father had participated with OCA, and her parents served as examples of caring for those in need and working for those who were oppressed by unjust systems. While in Togo, the author gained a new understanding of her family that became the basis for her call to ordained ministry. Faith, international volunteer service, and a career path came together for the author in a personal way.

Title: A MINISTRY OF BRIDGE-BUILDING: MY DEBT TO DR. JAMES H. ROBINSON
Abstract: The author traveled to the Congo with Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) at the age of 20. His team's project—the construction of a dispensary—was really a means to an end; the work brought the team members closer to their Congolese counterparts. This bridge-building lesson guided the author throughout his ministry with the Episcopal Church, and he returned many times to Africa in various capacities. Dr. James H. Robinson's example inspired him to build bridges as a missionary in Honduras, as a social worker in New York City, and as a pastor of a diverse congregation in Pittsburgh.

Title: VOLUNTEERING AND INTER-BEING
Abstract: The author volunteered with Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) in 1963 in Zambia. The "hands on" approach of building a community center reinforced the importance of being connected to others and joining together with them in their struggles. This understanding of the power of presence later motivated the author to protest the Vietnam War and the U.S. nuclear weapons program, and to work toward peace in Nicaragua and the Middle East. Her OCA experience, along with Buddhist practice, motivated her to continue to volunteer in a variety of capacities.

Title: RESEARCHING AND FACILITATING AFRICAN AMERICAN GLOBAL VOLUNTEERISM
Abstract: There has been little theoretical or empirical study regarding the factors that promote or thwart international service among African American adults. A review of the extant research on international volunteerism highlights factors that may facilitate or inhibit international service among African Americans. Religion can play a role in promoting African American volunteerism generally, and international service specifically. Building on existing research and theory, a conceptual model can be sketched that accounts for the complex ways in which intrapersonal, interpersonal, contextual, sociopolitical, and religious factors inform international service among African Americans.

Title: FRONTIERS OF FRIENDSHIP AND MID-TWENTIETH-CENTURY GLOBAL SERVICE
Abstract: The author participated in the inaugural Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) program in Liberia in 1958, and returned as a group leader in Ghana in 1967. In the 1950s, OCA's modeling of diversity and of reaching across boundaries placed the organization on new frontiers of social relationships—domestically and internationally. The author's experience had three notable impacts: it helped him develop relationships with peoples of different nationalities, cultures, and faiths; it enhanced his commitment to service through Christian ministry; and, it taught him that the principle of giving sacrificially on behalf of others is one of enduring value.

Title: FORMATION OF MORAL CHARACTER THROUGH GLOBAL COMMUNITY SERVICE
Abstract: The author's experience with Operation Crossroads Africa enabled him to reexamine assumptions about Africa and its relationship to the West. What democracies need most—and especially democracies in Africa—is the establishment of vibrant civil societies alongside strong democratic institutions guided by moral leaders. A morally good community is a necessary condition for the development of moral character in individuals. Operation Crossroads Africa provides a context for black and white Americans to live, work, and study with African counterparts. This shapes the disposition of every participant towards a greater commitment to intercultural and interracial service at home and abroad.

Title: AFRICAN PILGRIMAGE AND AMERICAN SOCIAL IDENTITY
Abstract: The author led Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) student volunteers to Lesotho and South Africa in 1983, and then co-led a group of student volunteers in Sierra Leone in 1984. He returned in 1985 and 1986 as OCA's Africa Program Deputy Director. The author realized how his commitment to service and social bridge building was tied to his American social identity, and various encounters with Africans revealed that they viewed him primarily as a representative of America, regardless of his race. He also learned that although apartheid has ended, youth have a unique ability to bridge the racial separations that remain in South Africa and elsewhere.

Title: RELIGION, RACE, AND THE MAKING OF AMERICAN GLOBAL CITIZENS
Abstract: Several pioneering African American leaders challenged inherent religious and racial limitations in historic American exceptionalism and American foreign policy. Operating in a 20th-century context that included anti-colonial fervor and the secularization of global voluntary service, they pursued an American global engagement that allowed racial and religious identity to serve as a bridge rather than a barrier. These leaders, many of whom were clergy, challenged the blatant privileging of US interests and priorities in Americans’ interactions with developing nations. Their example of engagement has implications for the security challenges America faces today.

Title: EXPERIENCING UNITY IN THE DIVERSITY OF GLOBAL SERVICE
Abstract: The author's father, an African-American, fostered an awareness of Africa in church and in the family's daily life. Early experiences of hospitality toward Liberian and Nigerian friends instilled a sense of Christian mission and a love for Africa. The author traveled to Sudan with Operation Crossroads (OCA) in 1983, after graduating from Yale Divinity School, and she learned valuable lessons about interfaith respect, cross-cultural cooperation, and the importance of those attributes to authentic Christian mission and witness. She served again with OCA twice, in Lesotho. Her OCA experiences gave her a foundational framework for effective community organizing and leadership.

Title: A FAITH THAT FORCED MY FOOTSTEPS
Abstract: The author reluctantly joined the Peace Corps in 1964, after hearing Samuel Dewitt Proctor promote the program. His faith in God was restored and deepened during his Peace Corps service, and the experience motivated him to contribute to community initiatives and to teach others the significance and importance of volunteering. The author credits the leadership and wisdom of others, including Proctor, in shaping his life path. As an African American who grew up under segregation, he is grateful that the Peace Corps opened up avenues of opportunities along which thousands of African Americans could walk.

Title: MY MUTUAL CALLINGS TO CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AND GLOBAL SERVICE
Abstract: The author traveled to Nigeria as an Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) volunteer in 1971, and later served as a group leader and OCA's Director of Development. His OCA experiences prompted him toward a lifetime calling of global service centered on the African Diaspora, and he worked with the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church to establish partnerships between Africans and Americans. After graduating from Harvard Business School, he recognized the significant intersections between his love for Africa and the development of his pastoral ministry and accepted a call to preach. His church in Maryland has undertaken numerous mission trips and relief and development projects.

Title: PROTECTING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR ALL DEMOCRACIES
Abstract: Political leaders need to recognize that religion remains a powerful force shaping the world around us. As globalization pushes the world together it becomes more urgent to find ways for people of different faiths (or no faith) to coexist peacefully. The honoring of religious minority rights and a healthy religious pluralism are core aspects of democracy and key priorities of the open-minded. People of faith must have the right to speak out on issues that concern them and in the name of beliefs derived from faith. At the same time, religious voices cannot predominate in democracies that preserve equal rights for all.

Title: PIONEERING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ADVOCACY BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN: LESSONS AND LEGACIES
Abstract: The author recounts his experience in the former USSR in the 1960s and his founding of Keston College (now the Keston Center at Baylor University) to document, analyze, and publicize the Soviet government's persecution of religious minorities and members of the Russian Orthodox Church. At the time, international advocacy on human rights and religious freedom was just developing, and Keston undertook comparative analyses of religious freedom in every country in the communist bloc. Today, an increasing number of organizations combine theoretical knowledge with on-the-ground experience to advocate for greater religious freedom. However, additional resources are needed.

Title: “IF NOT NOW, WHEN?”: JEWISH ADVOCACY FOR FREEDOM OF RELIGION
Abstract: Particularism, universalism, and realism are core components of modern Jewish advocacy for international religious freedom and other human rights. The most prominent and successful particularist Jewish advocacy movement was the push for Jews to be allowed to depart from the Soviet Union. Jewish advocates have supported efforts that guarantee universal human rights through bodies like the OSCE and the United Nations, and they have spoken out against the “defamation of religions” resolutions. In the United States, Jewish leaders contributed to the success of the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) and to the activities of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).

Title: URGENT QUESTIONS AND STRATEGIC MODELS FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ADVOCACY: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE FALL 2012 ISSUE
Abstract: Religious freedom matters but is imperiled. This simple proposition captures a central crucible of our age. Advancing religious freedom must be a priority of democratic-loving people everywhere. But what are the different models of advocacy? How do distinct approaches flow from different disciplines, organizational visions, or religious traditions? What practical challenges do advocates face and what strategies do they employ? What can aspiring advocates of religious freedom learn from seasoned champions? These are among the crucial questions addressed in the Fall 2012 issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs, a theme issue on “Strategies of Advocacy for International Religious Freedom.”

Title: THE US COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO
Abstract: Created by the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA), the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has made important strides in advancing freedom of religion and related human rights. The Commission has raised the overall profile of religious freedom with the US executive branch and Congress through its letters, public statements, hearings, travel, and participation in international meetings and conferences; played a positive role on key issues like reforming US refugee and asylum policy and reducing support for the “defamation of religions” resolution at the United Nations; and, addressed specific countries that are severe violators of religious freedom.

Title: ADVOCACY COALITIONS AND LEGISLATIVE LOBBYING FOR INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Abstract: Since US laws impact religious communities around the world, a US legislative lobbying strategy is a vital component of any effort to promote international religious freedom. The most important part of any such strategy is a coalition that coordinates joint advocacy. It must be guided by key principles: 1) It has to be multi-faith in nature; 2) Its participants must display unity and solidarity when taking joint advocacy actions; 3) Joint advocacy actions should urge policymakers to utilize aggressive oversight in all countries where religious freedom violations occur; 4) Joint advocacy actions must be designed and executed in bipartisan fashion.

Title: LESSONS IN LEVERAGING LEGAL PROTECTION FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Abstract: Religious freedom law is at its core a narrative of the human person. Its successful practice builds on assumptions about who human beings are, where rights come from. Yet in each country where the international religious freedom lawyer works, she contends with multiple challenges. There are four key lessons in leveraging legal protection for religious liberty: 1) Legal analysis can reach a level of particularity that general rhetoric cannot; 2) The wrong narratives can obscure real issues and, when adopted by states, undermine the ability to govern well; 3) States commit postural errors that undermine fundamental principles; 4) It is vital to choose your battles wisely.

Title: BUILDING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: A THEORY OF CHANGE
Abstract: There is no issue or incident that is only about religious freedom. Especially in restrictive environments, it is imperative to understand religious freedom in the context of: global trends; the geo-politics of the region; the national narrative; ethnic majority-minority relations; economic and educational development policies (especially for ethno- and/or religious minorities); and how the culture and majority religion historically and currently understands the “other.” The Institute for Global Engagement attempts to account for these factors as it promotes sustainable environments for religious freedom. It works to build religious freedom from the “inside out”—engaging government officials and religious leaders in the country of particular concern.

Title: Introduction: Freedom of Religion or Belief Across the Commonwealth
Abstract:
This special edition of The Review of Faith & International Affairs traces how freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) has been addressed across the globe, from Asia to Europe, and from Africa to the Americas, with particular focus on the Commonwealth of Nations, a unique voluntary grouping of 53 sovereign states, most of which are former British colonies or dependencies. The articles in this collection are the product of a major initiative, the Commonwealth Initiative for Religious Freedom or Belief (CIFoRB), supported with funding generously provided by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. This research project investigates how parliamentarians and legislators have and might advance religious freedom across the Commonwealth.

Title: Progress on Freedom of Religion or Belief?: An Analysis of European and North American Government and Parliamentary Initiatives
Abstract:
Threats to and violations of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) have been increasing around the world for the last two decades. This has prompted governments to implement initiatives to promote FoRB and to condemn violations. Drawing on data and findings of the Commonwealth Initiative for Freedom of Religion or Belief (CIFoRB), this article presents an analysis of recent legislative, parliamentary, and executive branch initiatives in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Norway to prioritize FoRB, for the lessons they afford on effective policy action. After an overview of these states' initiatives, this paper concludes with an assessment of their success.

Title: Freedom of Religion or Belief Across the Commonwealth: Hard Cases, Diverse Approaches
Abstract:
This paper addresses freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) issues that have been emerging in the Asian Commonwealth, including religious minorities, violent extremism, religion and development, rising secularism, and religious equality and around nondiscrimination. Pakistan and India have turned their attention to addressing the situation of minorities. Other nations, Bangladesh, with concerns about rising Islamism and secularism; Sri Lanka, with its legacy of inter-ethnic conflict; and Malaysia, with multiculturalism alongside religious protections, have recently advocated tolerance, respect, unity, harmony, and peace, even as interreligious tensions appear to be rising. This paper will examine the state of FoRB in these Commonwealth nations.

Title: Whither Democracy, Secularism, and Minority Rights in India?
Abstract:
Indian democracy, which was once considered remarkable in scale and duration, has been weakened by the rise of xenophobic nationalism and threats to religious minorities. Although these trends were evident in the past, they have dramatically increased amidst the growth of Hindu nationalism. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which was elected to power in 2014, has promoted or tolerated attacks on women, Dalits, Christians, and Muslims, by members of its party, government, and civil society organizations. The BJP government has also centralized state power and curtailed civil rights and liberties. Clearly, the protection of democracy and religious freedoms are closely inter-twined.

Title: The Prospects and Problems of the Marrakesh Declaration on the Rights of Religious Minorities in Muslim Majority Communities
Abstract:
The aim of the Marrakesh Declaration is to tackle discriminatory practices against religious minorities living under Muslim majority rule through the promotion of religious pluralism. Nevertheless, the realization of this aim continues to generate debate among scholars. This paper raises and analyzes the following questions. Who are the religious minorities in Muslim majority states? What is the cause of their persecution? What theories explain the problem? How unique is this approach to human right norms, and how different is the Marrakesh Declaration compared to similar initiatives like the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights 1990? The paper finds that the Marrakesh Declaration focuses on one aspect of religious pluralism to the exclusion of others. The paper argues that human rights norms viewed through the framework of Islam and presented as tools for negotiation instead of norms that are universal, and by extension higher than sharia norms, in Muslim majority societies are more appropriate than the Medina Charter as framework for the achievement of the objectives of the Marrakesh Declaration.

Title: Africa’s Muslim Authorities and Ahmadis: Curbed Freedoms, Circumvented Legalities
Abstract:
The Ahmadiyya Community (hereafter Ahmadis) encountered difficulties to freely express their beliefs and creeds in both Muslim majority societies and Muslim minority communities. Since the Ahmadis are among those communities that departed from the traditional Muslim theological position, the traditional Muslim authorities curbed their beliefs and practices through the issuing of fatwas. In response the Ahmadis tried to avoid being harassed and persecuted by seeking ways of circumventing the legalities. This article evaluates the theological clashes that occasionally occurred between the Ahmadis and these Muslim authorities in African settings where religious communities have generally experienced relative religious freedom.

Title: Framing Freedom of Religion or Belief for Countering Violent Extremism in Kenya: The Equivalency Framework of the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya
Abstract:
Over the past years, and in the aftermath of terror attacks, religious organizations in Kenya have issued press statements which conflate discourses on war against terror, security, and freedoms of religion. Using the example of one umbrella religious organization, the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya (EAK), this paper demonstrates how freedom of belief is framed in contexts of terror violence. Using framing theory and specifically the equivalency approach, EAK as a frame sponsor presents an alternative interpretive scheme on religious freedoms for judgements relating to terror attacks and related violence.

Title: Universal or Particular … or Both? The Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief in Cross-Cultural Perspective
Abstract:
The right to Freedom of Religion of Belief (FoRB) is a focus of increasing concern in academia and policy. A key disagreement is whether a universally recognized right to FoRB actually exists. This article explores this disagreement by considering global, universalist narratives and local, context-specific application of FoRB in India and Indonesia. We argue that the language of FoRB is not universal, but across different cultures, concepts and practices exist—such as honoring the traditions of others and living together in harmony—that are consistent with FoRB. Rather than insist on the language of FoRB, international actors should focus on these already existing practices.

Title: Culture, Religion, and Freedom of Religion or Belief
Abstract:
The relationship between culture and freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) is often seen as a negative one, with freedom of religion often invoked to defend human rights violations. In response, many human rights advocates draw a distinction between culture and religion, and what is insinuated is that culture is the problem, not religion. However, the reality is that in many cases, culture and religion are not so distinct, with cultural practices becoming “religionized” and religious ideas becoming part of the culture. Recognizing this relationship can open up other more positive avenues for the promotion of human rights and FoRB.

Title: Of Hedgehogs and Representation: Chasing Religious Persecution in Law
Abstract:
We hear about ‘religious persecution’ with great regularity in recent years, but what is meant by it? Where there is a rallying call of ‘religious persecution’, what precisely is meant by that? Is there a minimum threshold for a situation qualifying as religious ‘persecution’? Is it in fact occurring with greater regularity than in past decades or is it just being reported more? Is it increasingly politicized and, if so, why? This article analyzes these questions.

Title: Religion, Secularism, and the Pursuit of Peace in Myanmar
Abstract:
The military-led reform of the Myanmar state that began in approximately 2011, constituted by partial democratic reform, economic liberalization, and a newly invigorated peace process with more than 20 armed groups, has been hampered by myriad ongoing conflicts and the military’s continued hold on key pillars of power. A notable element of this environment is Buddhist nationalist rhetoric and activism, finding new forms of expression and civic mobilization in the space of democratic openings and often driving exclusionary attitudes, particularly against Myanmar’s Muslim population. This article examines how Buddhist nationalist activism might impact the peace talks and the 2020 election.

Title: Pluralism and Peace in South Asia
Abstract:
This article examines the relationship between religious pluralism and peace in the context of South Asia. It notes that today South Asia is one of the most hostile regions of the world for religious pluralism, owing, in large part, to resurgent religious nationalism. It argues that attempts to establish religious uniformity have worked at cross purposes with the desired goal of cultivating stability and security in Sri Lanka, India, and Pakistan.

Title: Desectarianization: Looking Beyond the Sectarianization of Middle Eastern Politics
Abstract:
Violent fragmentation in the Middle East has often been reduced to a consequence of “ancient hatreds” that pit Sunni against Shi’a. One of the more compelling arguments to understand the emergence of sectarian violence was proposed by Nader Hashemi and Danny Postel who suggest that the politics of the Middle East has undergone a process of sectarianization. This article builds upon the work of Hashemi and Postel to consider potential mechanisms to challenge this process of sectarianization, to work towards desectarianization. Drawing on interviews conducted across the Middle East and on a number of different disciplines, the article proposes a four-stage framework to facilitate desectarianization.

Title: The Resistance of the Protestant Church in Nazi Germany and its Relevance for Contemporary Politics
Abstract:
National populist leaders throughout the world increasingly seek to co-opt religion as an ethno-national identity marker. In contemporary discussions within religious communities about how to react, the German Confessing Church, which had opposed Nazism during the Third Reich, is often cited as a potential role model of resistance. This article reviews the historical origins, nature, methods, and evolution of this movement within the German Protestant Church from 1933–1945. It argues that the theological, political, and personal ambiguities of the Confessing Church’s opposition to Hitler are as instructive for today’s discussions as the heroism and integrity of its members.

Title: Symposium on Catholic Schools and the Changing Global Landscape for Faith-Based Education: An Introduction
Abstract:
Despite the fact that faith-based schools serve tens of millions of students (the estimate for the Catholic Church is at 62 million students enrolled in K12 schools globally in 2016), the role of faith-based schools remains largely ignored in policy discussions. The articles and essays in this symposium aim to inform current debates on the role of faith-based schools, and particularly Catholic schools. The focus on Catholic schools is driven by the fact that they are the largest network of faith-based schools globally. It is clear however that many issues faced by Catholic schools are also faced by other faith-based schools.

Title: Implications of Demographic, Religious, and Enrollment Trends for the Footprint of Faith-Based Schools Globally
Abstract:
Faith-based schools play an important role today in the provision of education globally. Are the schools likely to continue to play such a role in the future? If so, where is that role likely to be most prominent? This paper considers these questions on the basis of long-term demographic, religious, and school enrollment trends. The trends suggest that enrollment in faith-based schools will continue to grow rapidly, as has been the case over the last few decades. But there will also be a fundamental shift, with a rising concentration of students in faith-based schools located in Africa. This may have implications given the learning crisis affecting the continent.

Title: Does Catholic Distinctiveness Matter in Catholic Schools?
Abstract:
For many decades, public and Catholic schools promoted rival understandings of character and human flourishing. Contemporary public schools have largely abandoned such goals, and there is evidence that many Catholic schools have also neglected them to focus on academic achievement. This trend is both practically unwise and civically irresponsible.

Title: Avoiding the “Nokia Fate” in Catholic Education: The Case of the United States and the National Catholic Education Association
Abstract:
The challenges that face Catholic schools in the 21st century are not unique. Companies and other organizations have faced similar periods of disruption, which the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) should learn from in order to effectively address the issues of today. A national association, NCEA has a rich history of supporting Catholic schools but it must re-think how it provides guidance, support, and training to schools in order to specifically meet the needs of principals and teachers today.

Title: Faith-Based Education in Changing Social, Economic, and Political Contexts: Perspectives from Catholic Educators in Kenya
Abstract:
One prominent issue in developing education systems globally has been the relation between state and non-state actors. In this country case study, we explore how social, economic, and political changes in Kenya are impacting the mission, focus, and operations of faith-based—and specifically Catholic—schools. Drawing primarily from four focus group discussions with head teachers from 36 government-aided, Catholic-sponsored primary schools, we explore the question: How is the Kenyan state’s growing capacity to regulate education impacting Catholic-sponsored schools in pursuing their distinctive mission(s)? We find many head teachers have concerns that increasing state control may decrease autonomy in ways that threaten the integrity of the schools’ faith-based mission.

Title: Representing Catholic Education Globally: The Role and Potential of the International Office of Catholic Education
Abstract:
The role of the International Office of Catholic Education (OIEC) is to represent the Catholic education movement at the international level and help promote exchanges between Catholic schools and their leaders globally. How effective is OIEC in representing the Catholic education movement at the international level and promoting quality education for all, particularly in the context of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4)? The objective of this essay is to explore this question by contrasting how the network and the strength of Catholic schools may be perceived from the outside, and how difficult in practice it is for OIEC to fully plays its essential, but challenging role.

Title: Measuring the Contribution of Faith-based Schools to Human Capital Wealth: Estimates for the Catholic Church
Abstract:
This paper provides estimates of the contribution of faith-based schools to human capital wealth using recent World Bank data. Wealth is the assets base that enables nations to generate future income. Estimates suggest that human capital wealth accounts for two thirds of global wealth, a much larger proportion than natural capital and produced capital. This paper’s analysis relies on an assessment of the share of human capital wealth attributed to educational attainment, and the share of contribution of Catholic schools to educational attainment. The analysis suggests that Catholic schools contribute at least US$ 12 trillion to the changing wealth of nations.

Title: THE RELIGIOUS ROOTS OF FOREIGN POLICY EXCEPTIONALISM
Abstract: One core element of American exceptionalism has always been public support for a “special” American role in the world. This view has religious underpinnings, but scholars have variously stressed the influence of religious affiliation, of certain beliefs or behavior, or of generalized “civil religion”; empirical research has been lacking to clarify the specific ways that religion shapes foreign policy exceptionalism. An original empirical analysis drawing on the 2008 University of Akron National Survey of Religion and Politics shows numerous effects of religion. For instance, exceptionalist views are most common among Mormons and evangelicals, and are also related to factors such as theological traditionalism and strong religious commitment. America exceptionalism provides greater latitude for what Eugene Wittkopf labeled “militant internationalism.”

Title: COUNTERTERRORISM AND THE NEW AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM
Abstract: The tenets of American exceptionalism—defined as its civil religion—have shifted over time, and exceptionalism's most recent iteration has alarming ramifications, demonstrated through US counterterrorism policy. In crucial respects, the American project can be compared to ancient Rome: in its civil universalism; its sense of exceptional destiny; its use of sacred symbols; and its militarization. Global terrorism today threatens America's sense of divine blessing, its civil-religious identity. The mindset undergirding current US counterterrorism, especially the extensive use of drone attacks, should be normatively criticized as a sharp deviation from the traditional ethos of exceptionalism. The new ethos is one of ruthlessly purging the world of alleged threats rather than redeeming/transforming the world.

Title: AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AND AMERICAN MUSLIMS
Abstract: To examine their attitudes regarding American exceptionalism, it is helpful to cluster American Muslims into two general groups: African American Muslims and immigrant Muslims (including the integrated children of the immigrant Muslims). The legacy of racism prompts many African American leaders to see exceptionalism as excluding African Americans. Members of the immigrant Muslim community tend to either embrace or reject American exceptionalism, depending on whether they focus on the immigrant experience in American society (which has generally been very positive) or on US foreign policy (about which most Muslims are very critical). Some American Muslims have begun developing a public philosophy of “American Muslim Exceptionalism”: an idea that American Muslims are special and called to leadership among Muslims worldwide.

Title: CHOSEN LAND, CHOSEN PEOPLE: RELIGIOUS AND AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AMONG THE MORMONS
Abstract: The United States and Mormonism took form concurrently, and a prominent motif in the Book of Mormon is that America is populated by a chosen people for a singular destiny. There is a distinction, however, between “American exceptionalism” and “religious exceptionalism” in the Mormon tradition. Further, each exceptionalism has had countercurrents within Mormonism itself, which leads to many ambiguities in interpretation and application. For instance, the specialness assumed may mean “selected for a role” rather than “superior.” In an era of global mission and growth, Mormonism has embraced the diverse cultures of its adherents. The impact of Mitt Romney's Mormonism on his political judgment is therefore difficult to discern.

Title: BARACK OBAMA AND AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISMS
Abstract: Barack Obama's critics question whether he believes in “American exceptionalism.” Evaluating this judgment requires some historical perspective and analytical clarity about the shifting and manifold meanings of the term. There are two main types of American exceptionalism: a “crusader exceptionalism” favored by most of Obama's GOP rivals, and a “prophetic exceptionalism” articulated by Obama. Both forms are rooted in the Bible, but they draw on different parts of it. Republican positions on foreign policy have become steadily more unilateralist, exemptionalist, and preemptive. For Obama, the “promise of America” is the possibility of equality, solidarity, and unity among people from around the globe.

Title: AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AND POLITICAL RELIGION IN REPUBLICAN POLITICS TODAY
Abstract: In the 2012 presidential race, the charge of disbelieving in American exceptionalism has become an effective rhetorical weapon wielded by conservatives and GOP candidates in particular. American exceptionalism has been joined to the Judeo-Christian tradition not as a traditional civil religion including Americans of all persuasions but as an exclusivist political religion, of which the Republican Party is the keeper of the flame. Far from embracing the ethos of e pluribus unum, this political religion demands obligatory and unconditional support, and condemns any perceived disrespect.

Title: THE ESSENCE OF EXCEPTIONALISM: ROGER WILLIAMS AND THE BIRTH OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN AMERICA
Abstract: The brand of American exceptionalism invoked today tends to ignore the importance of religious freedom. Though political rhetoric often heralds the Massachusetts Puritans as the founders of American exceptionalism, Roger Williams’ colony of Rhode Island best exemplified exceptionalism's essence: “liberty of conscience” for every citizen, given of God, protected and promoted by the state. As a colonial outcast who befriended Native Americans and founded Providence, Williams’ legacy should be studied by those seeking to promote a pluralistic public square that is both civil and stable.

Title: “WEE SHALL BE AS A CITTY UPON A HILL”: JOHN WINTHROP'S NON-AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM
Abstract: The belief that the United States is uniquely chosen by God to be a beacon of freedom for the whole world forms the core of American exceptionalism. Persistent recent references to John Winthrop's 1630 address in which he quoted the biblical metaphor of a “city upon a hill” suggest a line of continuous development from Winthrop's 17th-century aspirations for Massachusetts to present-day ideals for the United States. But Winthrop's address had very little to do with any presumed destiny of America to promote an American ideal of liberty throughout the world. Those who employ Winthrop's language in modern politics often distort historical fact and unwittingly undermine the American ideals they claim to support.

Title: Populism and Internationalism, Evangelical Style: An Introduction to the Fall 2019 Issue
Abstract:
The fall 2019 issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs is a special issue presenting an interdisciplinary collection of research articles examining interrelationships between populism and internationalism among American evangelicals. The issue features highly distinguished contributors presenting original data analyses and case studies exploring two sharply contrasting narratives of contemporary evangelical politics. One pictures evangelicals as right-wing anti-globalist populists, while the other pictures them as humanitarian internationalists with increasingly cosmopolitan perspectives.

Title: What is an Evangelical? Examining the Politics, History, and Theology of a Contested Label
Abstract:
“Evangelical” has become an increasingly contested label in the United States of America following the 2016 election of Donald Trump, causing some to ask the foundational question: what is an evangelical? Among other disagreements, American evangelicals are divided on questions of political engagement; some lean populist, others internationalist. This article explores the theology, history, and politics of American evangelicalism, arguing that using both the shared history and heritage of evangelicals and their common theological professions as a definition, albeit broad, for the term “evangelical” sheds light on their current, differing postures towards political engagement, including towards populism and internationalism.

Title: Are White Evangelicals Populists? The View from the 2016 American National Election Study
Abstract:
The role of religion in the rise of populism is sometimes contested, but usually neglected. In this article, we consider the question of whether white American Evangelicals are part of the populist movement. Using the American National Election Study of 2016, we demonstrate that Evangelicals share almost all of the central traits of “populists” posited by observers of such movements and consider some of the implications of this finding.

Title: The Global—and Globalist—Roots of Evangelical Action
Abstract:
Contemporary conservative populists across the world enjoy significant support among evangelicals. However, their embrace of isolationism, mercantilism, unilateralism, and anti-immigrant sentiment sits uneasily with the evangelical call to global action. This article explores the complicated relationship between evangelicalism and populist approaches to foreign policy worldwide. While evangelicals in the US show widespread support for populism, in other countries they are more comfortable with internationalist causes. Surveying evangelicals in the English-speaking world, East Asia, Africa, Latin America, and South Asia demonstrates the complexity of evangelical attitudes toward both globalism and populist nativism.

Title: Populism, Evangelicalism, and the Polarized Politics of Immigration
Abstract:
Past research has established that evangelical Protestant elites have increased their involvement in immigration reform efforts pursuing Biblical values of “welcoming the stranger.” This article confirms and updates these previous research efforts. Prior work has also established that, at the mass level, white evangelical Protestants hold the most conservative immigration perspectives of any religious group in the United States. This article examines reasons for this finding through analysis of Democracy Fund Voter Survey panel data. It demonstrates that partisanship, presidential voting, and right-wing cultural populist attitudes are the primary driving forces underlying white evangelical attitudes about immigration.

Title: A Just and Durable Peace? American Evangelicals and the Quest for Peace after WWII
Abstract:
The force of evangelical activism is now a well-known story in American politics, but its unity, coherence, and perspective are often taken for granted, or under-analyzed, particularly on global issues. In this article, I investigate the question of evangelical influence and perspective on global peace after World War II, focused in this case around the United Nations. Surveying, first, the diversity of the movement called evangelicalism in the late war period, I argue that meaningful evangelical minorities existed, second, in both the neo-orthodox turn of Reinhold Niebuhr, third in the hugely successful though more mainline efforts of John Foster Dulles and the Federal Council of Churches, and, of course, finally in the majority report of conservative, evangelical anti-globalism, of both dispensational and presuppositional varieties. Far from monolithic, I argue that an evangelical perspective and influence on global peace must read each of these movements alongside one another, in part clarifying, in part unsettling, what is often counted as evangelical in both the history and present of global peace.

Title: Internationalism with Evangelical Characteristics: The Case of Evangelical Responses to Southeast Asian Refugees
Abstract:
Using evangelical efforts to resettle Southeast Asian refugees as a historical case study, this article argues that white evangelicals display both populist and internationalist tendencies and that a sense of religious peoplehood has shaped their humanitarian work. Although evangelicals often welcomed Southeast Asian refugees, archival and oral history evidence indicate that they were eager to resettle fellow Christians and to aid refugees through missions-centered projects directed by Christian organizations. Ultimately, evangelicals’ resettlement work did not represent an enthusiasm for welcoming racial and religious outsiders. Rather, it was a project that allowed them to serve and grow their own people.

Title: “Rescue Sells”: Narrating Human Trafficking to Evangelical Populists
Abstract:
The antitrafficking movement in Southeast Asia suggests shifting evangelical approaches to social justice. American activists on the ground have moved away from “rescue” toward greater indigeneity and attention to social structures. Populist evangelicals back home, however, resist these new methods. They too want to address deep injustices in the world, but they do so with an emotive individualism and American triumphalism that drives a vocabulary of rescue. In a kind of bargain, humanitarians adopt structural methods even as they continue to narrate rescue for an American constituency overflowing with money, energy, and potential recruits. That “rescue sells” offers insight into how populists and cosmopolitans negotiate power and imagine authority in starkly divided evangelical networks.

Title: Evangelical Populist Internationalism and the Politics of Persecution
Abstract:
This article explores the rise of the US movement for persecuted Christians as a form of evangelical internationalism. This internationalism is built on a moral geography that highlights the ties between US evangelicals and Christians in other parts of the world, challenging the isolationist self-regard that American evangelicals are often accused of. This article argues, however, that some important components of the persecuted Christians movement mobilize a common populist trope of an in-group facing attack from outside. Rather than organizing around religious freedom broadly, they construct a narrative of American Christians as part of a victimized and marginalized group, based on their ties with a global Christian community defined as persecuted. Rather than being part of a binary of populism versus internationalism, key parts of the persecuted Christians movement use internationalism to support Christian populism.

Title: Afterword: A Reflection on the Crucial Importance of Interfaith Dialogue
Abstract:
This essay is an Afterword for a theme issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs on “Interfaith on the World Stage.” The essay argues for a three-step process of interfaith dialogue involving dialogue, understanding through the seeking of genuine knowledge, and friendship. The goal is building personal relationships between people of different religions and cultures. This argument is supported with personal examples that attest to the effectiveness and potential of this approach.

Title: Introduction: Interfaith on the World Stage
Abstract:
In the wake of the events of 9/11, there has emerged a now significant body of literature that seeks to account for the “return” or “resurgence” of religion in international relations. Insofar as this literature typically focuses on particular religious traditions, however, a critical blind spot has developed whereby the contemporaneous proliferation of transnational interfaith initiatives-that necessarily rely on the collaborative efforts of two or more religious traditions-has often been overlooked. This introduction to the special issue highlights this oversight and explores the role of interfaith actors, organizations and initiatives in the broader narrative of the ‘return’ of religion in international relations.

Title: International Relations and Faith-based Diplomacy: The Case of Qatar
Abstract:
This article looks at the role that faith-based diplomacy has come to play in Qatar's diplomatic relationship with the West, and the U.S. in particular. Situating the case of Qatar in the context of wide-ranging Muslim efforts to address the theme of interfaith on the world stage, I argue that in a post-9/11 geopolitical climate, faith-based diplomacy in general and interfaith dialogue in particular are best understood in terms of a broader politics of representation. This article contributes to the typically Western-centric and Christian leaning literature by offering an account of the place of faith-based diplomacy in the foreign policy of a Muslim-majority country.

Title: The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and Interfaith Dialogue: What is it Good For?
Abstract:
The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) was founded in 2005, following the devastating attacks by al Qaeda on the United States on 11 September 2001 (‘9/11’). The article examines the UNAOC’s involvement in interfaith dialogue by focusing on three faith-based entities with which the Alliance regularly cooperates in joint interfaith events: The Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations, Religions for Peace, and United Religions Initiative. The article concludes by suggesting that, while such cooperation is no doubt well-meaning and probably does no harm, it is unclear whether it actually advances the goals of interfaith dialogue and cooperation: reduced tensions and conflicts.

Title: A Critical Reading of Christian Peacemaker Teams’ International Accompaniment and Solidarity Work Through a Peace and Conflict Studies Lens
Abstract:
Christian Peacemakers Teams is an interfaith coalition of action that undertakes international accompaniment and solidarity work with local partners. This article employs a Peace and Conflict Studies lens, to map and analyze that faith-inspired work from its conceptual formation within Anabaptist traditions to its present-day ecumenical configuration. Through this approach, tensions and promises of both Christian Peacemakers Teams work and a Peace and Conflict Studies perspective are made clearer. In the process, this article highlights an instance of faith-based diplomacy that mostly travels along a different, more grassroots track, than the one most frequently considered by Political Science scholars.

Title: How Effective is Interfaith Dialogue as an Instrument for Bridging International Differences and Achieving Conflict Resolution?
Abstract:
The article asks the question of how effective interfaith dialogue is in resolving international conflicts. The answer the question, the article examines the question of how significant religion is in deciding the behavior of international state and non-state actors. Is it a key determinant of their behavior, or it is mostly an instrument to advance goals determined by other motives? It also the question whether religion is the main cause of international disputes. And if it is not a key determinant of behavior and main cause of disputes how can interfaith dialogues can help in resolving international disputes.

Title: Interfaith on the World Stage: Much Ado About Nothing?
Abstract:
Dialogue between different faiths is increasingly being used as a means of harnessing religions’ capacity to promote coexistence and shared values. The effectiveness of dialogue is rarely considered and in any case is hard to measure. This paper wants to consider some international initiatives that have arguably achieved limited success and discuss why they failed and whether this failure is to be linked to the initiatives themselves or whether it is symptomatic of the top-down interfaith venture. Questions such as the role of political alliances, the possibility of the trickle-down effect, intended audience, personal motivations and finances will be considered.

The Charter for Compassion has been signed by over two million people from around the world and partnered with hundreds of interfaith organizations and cities seeking to put into practice the Golden Rule, common to the main faith traditions, of doing unto others as you would be done by. This article sets the Charter within the context of a post secular international society and faith-based diplomacy, in which religious interreligious initiatives emerge as serious, rather than peripheral, actors in developing sustainable peace making through bottom-up approaches. The article critically engages with the Charter's claim that ‘any interpretation of scripture that breeds violence, hatred or disdain is illegitimate’ while accepting that peaceful interpretations of scriptures are helpful to peace processes where religious actors are involved. The article explores the claims of the Charter for Compassion International as they seek to make peace through compassion, before concluding that the Charter for Compassion is a long-term project aimed at changing hearts and minds but has had limited substantive impact to date.

Title: Including the Exclusivists in Interfaith
Abstract:
Ultra-conservative religious actors can be marginalized in interfaith engagements, leading to isolation and contributing to more extremist ideologies. The challenge of engaging these exclusivist and fundamentalist voices, which are often resistant to working across religious lines, is significant. Understanding how religion impacts social spaces and individual decision-making, and working to identify key influencers, can prove essential to overcoming these hurdles and effectively drawing these communities into constructive dialogue.

Title: Religious Peacemakers on the International Scene: Hopes and Motivations
Abstract:
Interreligious dialogue involves religious leaders in a hybrid function as diplomats trapped between the secular and religious realms. Who are they and what are their motivations? In this article, we distinguish between theological and political peace dialogues, and trace the underlying concerns that motivate those who initiate and moderate interreligious dialogues for peace. We discuss underlying religious sensibilities that inform their commitment, which range from those who see interreligious dialogue as a meaningful religious endeavour to those who see it as an opportunity to tell the Truth. Underlying each position, we find personal motivations entangled with particular religious worldviews.

Title: The Sectarian Dynamics of the Syrian Conflict
Abstract:
Although it represents a key element of the Syrian conflict, the sectarian dimension has not received the attention it deserves. From the outbreak of the popular uprising in March 2011, both the Syrian regime and the Islamist rebels have used sectarianism to obtain support inside and outside the country. At the same time, the regional powers have encouraged sectarianism to strengthen their position in the conflict and mobilize their allies. The emergence of various jihadist groups, such as the Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State, was followed by the mobilization of several regional Shia militias by the Iranian forces. For all of them, the conflict has turned into a zero sum game in which the sectarian dimension plays a central role.

Title: Quantifying Persecution: Developing an International Law-based Measurement of Freedom of Religion or Belief
Abstract:
In this essay the authors—an international and interdisciplinary research team of scholars and practitioners—present the main challenges they faced, the solutions they developed, and their reflections and recommendations based on their research for the annual report of the European Parliament Intergroup on Freedom of Religion or Belief & Religious Tolerance. The research team elucidated international law standards on FoRB and then assessed whether the laws and practices of third countries are consistent with their international legal obligations. This grounding in international law is a distinctive contribution of the research.

Title: Contrasting Remedies to Social Tensions over Schooling
Abstract:
A century ago, the United States and the Netherlands came to fundamentally different resolutions about the role of schools in dealing with social tensions and cleavages. Dutch schooling would be pluralistic, reflecting cultural and religious diversity, while the American “common school” would seek to reduce diversity by providing a uniform experience. What do those contrasting experiences have to teach us about current educational policy choices? The author argues for accommodating cultural divisions within American life by structural pluralism in education, thus providing schools capable of providing coherent education based on shared perspectives on the nature of a life well-lived.

Title: Saudi Arabia and the Limits of Religious Reform
Abstract:
Since 2016, Prince Muhammad bin Salman, the current Saudi crown prince and the kingdom’s strong man, has taken a series of groundbreaking domestic decisions aimed at reforming the Kingdom’s brand of Islam and transforming Saudi society. Though this first spurred enthusiasm among the Kingdom’s Western partners, there were reasons to remain skeptical. This essay is intended to analyze the shifting power dynamics in Saudi Arabia and, more specifically, how they are affecting the Saudi religious establishment, its ability to exert control over Saudi society, and its ability to export its brand of Islam to the rest of the world.

Title: American Evangelicals, the Changing Global Religious Environment, and Foreign Policy Activism
Abstract:
Since the end of the Cold War, US evangelicals have become increasingly globalized in their outlook, building from a recognition that evangelicalism, both nationally and internationally, is no longer centered on white Americans. As a result, the US evangelical community of the last 30 years has become more transnational in its outlook, and active on a variety of foreign policy issues. US evangelical activism on two issues serves to exemplify these changes: first is the persecuted Christians movement, particularly in relation to the civil war in Sudan in the early 2000s, and second is the debate over immigration after 2016.

Title: Strange Bedfellows at the United Nations: African Religions, Humans Rights Covenants, and Faith-Based Initiatives for Peace and Development
Abstract:
This article compares differential African religious responses to United Nations initiatives on human rights versus UN development and peace-promoting activities. From family planning to gay rights, what some UN members have promoted as human rights others have characterized as neo-cultural imperialism. In West Africa, the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was seen as anti-Islamic and triggered mass demonstrations. UN Human Rights Committee attempts to extend the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) to LGBT rights have generated parallel acrimony among Protestant churches in East Africa. African religious leaders nevertheless support UN faith-based initiatives to support peace and development.

Title: South Sudan’s Costly Conflict and the Urgent Role of Religious Leaders
Abstract:
In 2013, two years after South Sudan’s formation as the world’s newest nation, a costly civil war erupted that has ensnared the South Sudanese people and the nation’s developmental and consolidation process for more than five years. The article explores the current conflict against its historical backdrop, proposing a greater role for religious leaders in the peace and reconciliation processes. It draws upon original interview data generated in 2018 from dozens of South Sudanese informants as a direct window into the effects of the conflict and into the prospects for peace and reconciliation within the context.

Title: Encouraging Active Citizen Voices on International Policy? The Record of U.S. Faith-based NGOs
Abstract:
How do faith-based NGOs educate and mobilize their US constituencies, beyond appealing for donations? I examine ten diverse faith-based NGOs’ presentation of advocacy on their websites, along with budget and staffing data, finding great variation in the extent of advocacy and its prominence and urgency in agencies’ websites. Some of the most extensive mobilization is done by small Christian sects with historic commitment to social justice, non-Christian minority faiths in the US, and independent NGOs that specialize in advocacy. The religious voice on these matters is modest, with faith-based NGOs giving priority to securing financial support for material aid.

Title: Religion and the Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract:
Religion is a major cultural, social, political, and economic factor in many official development assistance (ODA) recipient countries. After decades of being ignored by global development processes, greater portions of development aid are now channeled via faith-based organizations, and religion is increasingly recognized as a human resource rather than just an obstacle to development. This essay explores the role that faith actors are playing in the Sustainable Development Goals process. It is based upon findings from a research project funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)—“Keeping Faith in 2030: Religions and the SDGs.”

Title: Pluralism, the Public Purse, and Education: An International Estimate of Savings to State Budgets from K-12 Catholic Schools
Abstract:
According to Church statistics, the Catholic Church has 35 million children enrolled in its primary schools globally, and 20 million children enrolled in its secondary schools. At both levels, enrollment has increased over time globally. While there are debates on whether Catholic schools perform better than public schools, they clearly generate savings for state budgets in many countries since parents choosing these schools often pay for most of the cost of their children’s education. This paper estimates budget savings for states from Catholic schools in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and selected partner countries. In the 38 countries for which estimates are computed, total annual savings are valued at US$ 63 billion in purchasing power parity terms.

Title: Gender Bias in Bangladeshi School Textbooks: Not Just a Matter of Politics or Growing Influence of Islamists
Abstract:
In this essay, we critically reflect on the ongoing controversy over Islamization of textbooks by a secular government in Bangladesh. Based on a review of the emerging evidence on gender stereotypes in textbook contents, we argue that gender bias was widespread in government-recognized textbooks long before radical Islamic groups publicly demanded changes to the secular school curriculum. All Bangladeshi school textbooks continue to suffer from a pro-male bias regardless of whether they are based on a secular or religious curriculum. Nonetheless, Bangladesh’s experience suggests that politicization of the debate on what children should learn in school can make future reforms much harder to achieve.

Title: On Religion and the Politics of Security: How Religion’s Involvement in Domestic Politics Affects National Securitymaking
Abstract:
This article explores how national security policies are influenced by national religious politics. First, the state's religious policy greatly influences which security interests the government pursues, as national-security policy is in part a continuation of government religious policy by other means. Second, the desire of decisionmakers to win the political competition against elites which differ in their religious affinities and vision for the state-religion relations steers them toward three possible securitymaking dynamics. Third, the political need of decisionmakers to accommodate the opinions on religion of the groups that secure their hold on power delimits their security policies.

Title: Started but Contested: Analyzing US and British Counter-Extremism Strategies
Abstract:
Counter-extremism approaches in America and Britain have come under criticism and scrutiny due to the recurrence of terrorist incidents and the perception that they are alienating Muslim communities. This essay analyzes the course of counter-extremism policy development on both sides of the Atlantic and proposes potential solutions to some of the most entrenched difficulties that policymakers have encountered.

Title: Cuius regio, eius religio: church-state dynamics and implications on religiosity, representation, and religious freedom in Spain and the Philippines
Abstract:
Though Spain and the Philippines share a Catholic experience, their experience of religious freedom varies. Whereas little to no religious persecution occurred in Spain between 2005 and 2008, the Philippines experienced high rates of religious persecution. This article examines how a shared history can produce two vastly different religious freedom outcomes. It posits that the shared colonial history produced two religious institutions that have common Catholic roots but divergent institutional arrangements and outcomes, particularly for Muslim-minority populations. In both cases, church and state inevitably interact, producing consequences that affect the experience of religious freedom of citizens.

Title: International Instruments Influencing Religious Freedom in Kazakhstan
Abstract:
Like many other countries, Kazakhstan is obliged to protect human rights, including freedom of religion, according to its internal constitutional rules and its obligations under international treaties. When the state forgets its obligations, various internal and external political and legal instruments could remind it about the necessity to protect religious freedom and create a favorable environment for religious activity. This essay describes the international instruments influencing religious freedom in Kazakhstan including the reactions of international organizations, reports of international bodies, decisions of international courts or human rights organizations, and state leaders meetings.

Title: Political Tradition and Foreign Affairs: A Study in Jewish Foreign Policy
Abstract:
This study proposes to identify a Jewish political tradition in the area of international politics and foreign policy. The concept of Jewish foreign policy tradition encompasses the interaction between Jews and external groups during times of Jewish sovereignty as well as times of Jewish Diaspora. The article analyzes patterns of Jewish foreign policy behavior drawn from both various sources of Biblical or Halakhic literature as well as from the empirical Jewish political behavior in foreign affairs. It is concluded that a Jewish foreign policy tradition is relevant to understanding current Jewish international affairs.

Title: Civic Education for Muslim Students in the Era of Democracy: Lessons Learned from Indonesia
Abstract:
After the fall of the military regime in 1998, democracy has been the driving force for political and social changes in Indonesia. To nurture democracy as the public commitment within the nation, the role of Islamic higher education can be very critical in disseminating values and practices of democracy through a new civic education program for Muslim youth. Different from Indonesia’s indoctrinated civic program in the past, the civic education introduced by State Islamic University Jakarta promotes a new approach and method of teaching democracy in such a new democratic country. The program contributes to democratic cultures and respect for Indonesian diversity.

Title: Faith and Spirituality Informing Public Policy: Joseph Wresinski and our Understanding of Extreme Poverty
Abstract:
The understanding of the relationship between human rights and extreme poverty at the United Nations owes much to Joseph Wresinski, the founder of the International Movement ATD Fourth World. While Wresinski was a Catholic priest, he deliberately created an inter-denominational organization and developed a unique spirituality rooted in a shared life experience with the extreme poor. He considered that spirituality, broadly understood, should be at the heart of the fight against extreme poverty and social exclusion. He hoped that his message could be heard by men and women from all faiths who are concerned about the plight of the extreme poor.

Title: Four Questions about De-sectarianization
Abstract:
Reflecting on the current spate of protests across the Middle East, this article explores four key questions about the contestation of religious identities in political projects, more commonly referred to as de-sectarianization. Engaging with definitional questions, spatial dimensions, the agency of protesters, and the aims of de-sectarianization, the article argues that a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the contestation of religious identities in the Middle East is required in an effort to understand the (re)ordering of political life and the role of religion in these projects.

Title: Countering Sectarianism: The Many Paths, Promises, and Pitfalls of De-sectarianization
Abstract:
It is well known that the “sectarianization” of Middle Eastern politics during the last decade has had many negative effects. In that light, it should come as no surprise that most agree that sectarianism should be countered. However, it turns out that it is anything but clear what we are talking about, when we talk about anti/counter/post/trans/cross/non/multi-sectarianism. Moreover, a shared ambition of countering sectarianism can translate into very different kinds of strategies, some of which are burdened with their own problems or dilemmas, raising the question whether the cure is always better than the disease.

Title: De-securitizing through Diplomacy: De-sectarianization and the View from the Islamic Republic
Abstract:
As a country often defined in terms of its sectarian identity, the Islamic Republic provides an interesting test case for the notion of de-sectarianization. Iran’s position as the pre-eminent Shi’a-majority power in the region has presented it with opportunities to draw on its historical confessional linkages, but it also singles it out as a unique case. Building upon the theoretical and conceptual frameworks provided by the sectarianization thesis, de-securitization, and insights from diplomatic studies, this paper presents empirical examples from Iran’s Eurasian and religious diplomacy that provide a potential starting point for de-sectarianization of the region’s fractious international politics.

Title: Mom, are we Shi’a? Neg(oti)ating Sectarian Identity in Everyday Life in Post-2011 Bahrain
Abstract:
Based on ethnographic fieldwork experiences in Bahrain in 2017 and 2018, but also drawing on long-term work with this country since 2003, I suggest in this article that questions of sectarianization and de-sectarianization are important, but cannot be definitely answered. While many Bahrainis identify strongly as either Sunni or Shi’a Muslims, at the same time they highlight that this should not be all that defines them, and that de-, cross- or non-sectarian relations are both possible and important, also and not least in the wake of the ill-fated uprising in 2011.

Title: Was There a Bahraini Genocide? Sovereignty and State-Sponsored Sectarian Violence in 1920s Bahrain
Abstract:
This article explores state-sponsored sectarian violence in 1920s Bahrain and the key characteristics that violence shares with contemporary, sociological definitions of genocide, the most serious of crimes against humanity. Using colonial archives as well as other relevant documentary evidence—but also acknowledging limitations in these sources—the article applies what is known about the sectarian violence to Jacques Semelin's concept of the subjugatory massacre. The article suggests that scholarship on Bahrain should fully confront the question of past crimes against humanity in order to understand contemporary political struggles for human rights and participatory democracy, as well as generational trauma within Shi’a communities.

Title: Sectarianization and De-sectarianization in the Struggle for Iraq’s Political Field
Abstract:
Iraq’s political system, an elite pact justified through ethno-religious consociationalism or sectarian apportionment (Muhasasa Ta’ifiyya), was created in the aftermath of invasion and regime change in 2003. The system’s legitimation was based on a very specific understanding of Iraqi society and the role of elections in managing that society. However, this system did not prevent the brutal civil war that raged in Iraq from 2004 until 2008. Once the civil war ended and communally justified violence declined, other negative consequences of the system became increasingly apparent, namely the widespread and systematically sanctioned political corruption at its core and the institutional incoherence the system created. A sustained post-civil war challenge to the system has come through a series of mass demonstrations, starting in 2009, but reaching their peak, in terms of size and ideational coherence, in 2019. In the face of its unpopularity, the majority of Iraq’s politicians may have moved away from the overt promotion of sectarianism, but the political system still functions, as it has since 2003, with systemic corruption and coercion taking the place of sectarian ideology in terms of delivering elite cohesion and defending the status quo.

Title: From Existential Struggle to Political Banality: The Politics of Sect in Post-2003 Iraq
Abstract:
This article focuses on the case of post-2003 Iraq to chart the evolution of the politics of sect between 2003 and 2018 particularly with reference to Sunni and Shi’a identity categories. More specifically it examines the shifts in the social divisiveness, political utility, and perceived depth of the Sunni-Shi’a cleavage. What emerges is a gradually altered enabling environment with a changing set of incentive structures that have diminished the political salience of sectarian identity between 2003 and 2018. This is chiefly evidenced in the transformation of the parameters of political contestation, the parameters of populism and, by extension, the parameters of electoral politics.

Title: The Development and Negotiation of Frames During Non-sectarian Mobilizations in Lebanon
Abstract:
This paper explores the processes whereby organizers of non-sectarian mobilizations frame grievances against the sectarian system in Lebanon. While previous studies on non-sectarian mobilizations have mainly focused on explaining how the sectarian system in Lebanon constrains the outcomes of non-sectarian mobilizations, the paper draws attention to the agency of activists during the process of mobilizations. It analyzes framing processes in two cases: the Hirak, a protest movement which took place in the summer of 2015, and Beirut Madinati (Beirut My City), a list which competed in Beirut’s municipal elections in 2016.

Title: Sectarianism and Constitutional Identity
Abstract:
Constitution-making can face major issues in a country prone to sectarian uprisings or in countries in which one sect overly dominates others. This paper argues that while a constitution is needed to define the powers, rights, and duties of the institutions, and protect the people it represents, it also serves a crucial role in creating a shared sense of belonging and begins the necessary steps towards crafting a country’s identity. Using a moment of crisis as an opportunity to draft a new constitution is therefore an opportunity to confront sectarianism and create a constitution that is not just paper but is made substantive by a clear and legitimate identity. This paper explores how MENA regions can constructively tackle the transitional agenda that occurs during times of upheaval by analyzing the role of constitutions in countries that were built upon a sectarian structure and identity. This paper suggests that the process and steps which lead to a properly drafted constitutional document can play a key role in preventing sectarianism and can instead begin creating a shared identity that is able to promote and protect both majority and minority rights.

Title: Sectarianism from the Top Down or Bottom Up? Explaining the Middle East’s Unlikely De-sectarianization after the Arab Spring
Abstract:
Sectarian politics has retreated across the Middle East in the years after the Arab Spring, even as conflict between the region’s two main sectarian actors—Iran and Saudi Arabia—has intensified. This essay explores this incongruence as a way of better understanding the nature and drivers of sectarianism and de-sectarianization in MENA states, supported by public opinion and other data that substantiate the post-2011 decline in Arabs’ concern over sectarianism. It contends that the close correspondence between the rise and demise of the Arab Spring on the one hand, and that of sectarianism on the other, supports an instrumentalist interpretation of sectarian politics in the region.

Title: Civilization as Disciplinization and the Consequences for Religion and World Politics
Abstract:
This article argues in favor of Norbert Elias’s historical and relational sociology to rehabilitate the notion of civilization in the study of international affairs. Elias’s approach has two major advantages. First, it avoids the use of de-historicized models of political development that project a western-centered approach as universal. Second it brings into focus the central role of the nation-state in the shaping of the contemporary religious dimension of politics at the national and international levels. This relational and historical perspective will be applied to the case of postcolonial nation-states to explain the rise and expansion of political Islam from national to global forms of political expression.

Title: Civilizational Clash or Balderdash? The Causes of Religious Discrimination in Western and European Christian-Majority Democracies
Abstract:
Samuel Huntington predicted that conflict, including domestic conflict, will be more common between civilizations than within them, that the Islamic civilization will be especially violent, and that Islamic-Western conflict will be particularly intense. This study seeks to test this proposition focusing on societal and governmental religious discrimination against 156 religious minorities in 36 European and Western Christian-majority democracies using data from the Religion and State-Minorities round 3 (RASM3) dataset. It also contrasts Huntington’s predictions with predictions of three other literatures: the securitization of Islam, anti-cult policies, and anti-Semitism. The findings show that these three literatures are a better fit for explaining religious discrimination in these countries than is Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” theory.

Title: From Huntington to Trump: Twenty-Five Years of the “Clash of Civilizations”
Abstract:
What is the explanatory value of the “clash of civilizations” paradigm, popularized by Samuel Huntington in the 1990s? How has Huntington’s argument fared in the perceptions of scholars and policy makers, the two audiences on which he focused? In the three decades since Huntington first aired his controversial framework, inter-civilizational “clash” and “dialogue” have become mainstream issues in both international relations and in many countries’ domestic concerns. The article focuses on the explanatory value of Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” paradigm in relation to recent political successes of right-wing populists in the USA and Europe.

Title: Introduction: The “Clash of Civilizations” and Relations between the West and the Muslim World
Abstract:
The spring 2019 issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs brings together nine scholars to examine various issues contained within a general research question: does Samuel Huntington’s ‘clash of civilizations’ paradigm help explain current Western governments’ responses to Muslim migration and related security issues? The contributors seek to explicate both theoretical and empirical examinations of Huntington’s ‘clash of civilizations’ thesis in relation to the West. Our initial premise is that in the quarter century since Huntington first aired his controversial framework, inter-civilizational ‘clash’ and ‘dialogue’ have become mainstream issues both in international relations and in many Western countries’ domestic concerns.

Title: Europe versus Islam?: Right-Wing Populist Discourse and the Construction of a Civilizational Identity
Abstract:
This article reveals the ways in which five populist parties in Europe (AfD in Germany, FN in France, PVV in the Netherlands, M5S in Italy, and Golden Dawn in Greece) employ the fear of Islam as a political instrument to mobilize their supporters and to mainstream themselves. The study is conducted through a discourse analysis of the speeches and manifestos of the aforementioned parties. Following the depiction of each political party, the article displays some of quotations from the fieldwork conducted in the Spring of 2017 to be able to explicate their common tropes about their Islamophobic, migrant-phobic, and diversity-phobic discourses of the supporters of populist parties. The main premise of the work is to claim that these parties have recently generated a civilizational discourse in order to expand their electorate.

Title: Religion as a Weapon: Invoking Religion in Secularized Societies
Abstract:
This article explores how religion is invoked as a political weapon in Europe’s highly secularized societies. It claims that the new European populism has succeeded in rhetorically reconciling Christianity and a peculiar form of secularism as markers of a “civilized” identity, while merging Islam and specific “Oriental” ethnic features as the key signs of barbarism. As a result, the new cleavage does not run along the classic dichotomy of religious vs. secular, but resurrects the colonial division between the civilized and the barbaric, both of which contain religious and non-religious elements.

Title: Religion, Cleavages, and Right-Wing Populist Parties: The Italian Case
Abstract:
The political science literature analyzing the genetic profile of European political parties has mainly focused on the salience, for the identity of today’s parties, of four social cleavages rooted in European history: among them, a religious/secular cleavage created by the birth of the modern national state. However, in the past two decades, some contributions about new party types developed after the end of the Cold War have hypothesized the existence of new cleavages, based on materialist/post materialist sets of values and on the acceptance or rejection of globalization and Europeanization processes. This article will work on this latter hypothesis, by highlighting how some European parties, previously secular or focused on the “traditional” religious cleavage, are increasingly using religion-related arguments in the context of a civilizational stance focused on anti-globalization and anti-EU discourses, but most of all on the idea of migrants and Muslims as a threatening other. The second section of the paper will focus on the Italian case and on the development of a right-wing populist discourse on religion by the Lega Nord party.

Title: Cultural Barbarism in Relation to Women?: Huntington’s Theory and the German Case of Mass Sexual Assaults on New Year’s Eve 2015
Abstract:
This article analyzes, from the perspective of Samuel Huntington’s hypothesis about a “clash of civilizations,” the nature of the mass sexual assaults on women committed by migrants coming from non-European countries on New Year’s Eve 2015 in Germany. It is argued that the fundamental cultural factor triggering this criminal behavior was the clash of a patriarchal culture of honor and Islamic ethical code with liberal Western urban culture. But the cultural factor was not isolated. The “non-cultural” factors, i.e. social, biological, psychological, demographic, and economic factors, played important role.

Title: Muslim Calls to Prayer in the Swedish Welfare State
Abstract:
To understand why support for anti-immigrant policies is on the increase in Sweden, we need to think about Muslim demands for parity within the country. In this context, the adhan (Muslim call to prayer) is best understood as a practice, not merely as an expression, and as all practices it forms a part of a certain way of life. The real question is whether or not other, non-Swedish, forms of life should be allowed in Swedish society. To this question all Swedish politicians, not only the Sweden Democrats, currently give a negative answer.

Title: Regulating Pluralism: Laws on Religious Harmony and Possibilities for Robust Pluralism in Singapore
Abstract:
This article examines the role of regulation in advancing a robust or “covenantal” pluralism in Singapore. I argue that a commitment to pluralism requires a regulated space where law provides a critical expressive role in setting out the boundaries of appropriate conduct as well as in modifying social norms. This is crucial to ensure that the dominant values of the religious majority do not hegemonize the common spaces to the exclusion of religious minorities. I examine the use of religious harmony laws in Singapore and its potential for framing the top-down aspect of the concept of covenantal pluralism.

Title: Negotiating Religious Freedom in India and Malaysia: Electoral Politics, Transreligious Alliances, and Cross-cutting Identities
Abstract:
This paper examines the complex set of challenges and opportunities Christian minorities in India and Malaysia encounter as they negotiate with the state over laws and regulations that limit their religious rights. In exploring the legal framework that governs freedom of religion in both contexts and by comparing religious rights cases, I illustrate how cross-cutting identities both complicate and support religious rights claims and call attention to the complexity of religious rights claims and outcomes. I find that windows of opportunity in the form of electoral politics and transreligious alliances offer Christian minorities alternate pathways to negotiate with the state.

Title: Religious Freedom, Conspiracies, and Faith: The Geopolitics of Ukrainian Autocephaly
Abstract:
The article offers an overview of the geopolitical dimension of the major shifts in the religious landscape of Ukraine in the period 2018–2019. In particular, it deals with the responses of various international players to the proclamation of a Ukrainian autocephalous church in December 2018 and with the argumentative strategies employed by them either for legitimating the necessity of Ukrainian autocephaly, or for compromising its image in the public eye. Based on the analysis of public statements and media interviews of high ranking officials of Ukraine, Russia, and the USA, this article demonstrates that the developments of 2018–2019 further contributed to the geopoliticization of the Orthodox division in Ukraine and a concomitant instrumentalization of religious freedom as a tool of ideological struggles both on the discursive and practical levels of international relations.

Title: Finding Belonging, Finding Agency: Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Converting to Christianity in the Church of Sweden
Abstract:
The arrival 44,617 unaccompanied refugee minors (URM) to Sweden between 2014 and 2016 was met by a large number of civil society volunteers responding to their needs and assisting them in the early stages of their asylum processes, among them the Church of Sweden (CoS). What was not expected was that thousands of these Muslim-background young people would decide to convert to Christianity. Drawing on data collected during fieldwork at two CoS congregations, this article looks at conversion through the lens of two themes, conversion as belonging and conversion as agency, and discusses whether discourses which couple conversion with narratives about acquiring asylum capital are adequate to the complexity of this phenomenon.

Title: Narrowing the Options: Power and Glory in the Late Modern Religious Imagination
Abstract:
Under the conditions of late modernity, when a secular worldview has diminished the plausibility of affirmations of a transcendent truth or reality governing human affairs, the world’s major religious traditions have spawned religious subcultures driven by narrowly political theologies. The result has been a constriction of conceptions of divine glory and majesty; these aggressive fundamentalist and religious-nationalist movements idolize the near-absolute power of the secular modern state. This elimination of options within the religious community, including the option of separatism or withdrawal from worldly political calculations, robs the religious imagination of a vital pluralism and reduces “power” to ideology.

Title: Faith in Numbers: Can we Trust Quantitative Data on Religious Affiliation and Religious Freedom?
Abstract:
In this essay we attempt to do four things. First, we discuss the appeal of quantitative data generally and the particular salience of the Pew Research Center data on religious identification and religious restrictions. Second, we examine Pew’s data on religious identification. Third, we examine Pew’s data on religious restrictions. Fourth, we provide some recommendations for diplomats and other international affairs practitioners as they engage with quantitative data on religion.

Title: The Personal is Political: Pentecostal Approaches to Governance and Security
Abstract:
In this essay, I explore Pentecostal approaches to governance and security, taking an anthropological approach. I focus on Pentecostalism as a distinctive way of looking at and being in the world, one that understands the family as central in its approach governance and security. I highlight the paradox between Pentecostalism’s strong orientation towards individual and family moral conduct and practices of female leadership in Pentecostal contexts. I conclude with some broader reflections on the implications for diplomacy and other practitioners of foreign policy.

Title: Evangelicals and Governance in the Global South
Abstract:
In this essay I ask: how do evangelicals in the Global South engage on issues relating to conflict, security, and basic human rights? I discuss who evangelicals are in the Global South and then present cases of two evangelical churches: one affluent and one impoverished. I argue that social location matters: affluent churches can participate in democratic discourse; impoverished actors must often navigate the perils wrought by state failure. In both environments, evangelicalism’s (sometimes underutilized) political and policy engagement is guided by a mix of traditional and modern values, and is directed toward a particular vision of a flourishing society.

Title: Religion and Coloniality in Diplomacy
Abstract:
A wide range of contemporary policy issues tied to religion continue to be informed by the legacies of colonialism; among them security and terrorism, the promotion of freedom of religion and belief (FoRB), gender equality, sexuality, and reproductive rights. This essay distinguishes the historical period of colonialism from coloniality: the ongoing presence of structures and relationships of power created through the practices of colonialism. The author outlines some of these specific influences from the colonial period and he concludes with a series of recommendations that can help policymakers avoid exacerbating the effects of colonialism’s legacy in global politics.

Title: Toward a Global Covenant of Peaceable Neighborhood: Introducing the Philosophy of Covenantal Pluralism
Abstract:
The global challenge of living together peacefully and constructively in the context of deep religious/worldview differences will not be met through bumper-sticker slogans about “tolerance.” This essay provides an introductory overview of a richer approach called covenantal pluralism, which has been developed over the last few years at the Templeton Religion Trust. The philosophy of covenantal pluralism is a robust, relational, and non-relativistic paradigm of citizenship that emphasizes both legal equality and neighborly solidarity. It calls not only for a constitutional order characterized by equal rights and responsibilities but also a culture of engagement characterized by relationships of mutual respect and protection.

Title: The Coordinates of Covenantal Pluralism: Mapping Pluralist Theory in the 21st Century
Abstract:
The aim of this article is to map the plurality of pluralist theories, indicate and (hopefully) make sense of what the many important contributions explaining this resurgent notion have been to date, and finally locate “covenantal pluralism” in this developing conversation. The essay plots at least 11 models on a “pluralist quadrant” in order to help us understand their unique contributions to the pluralism debate. Finally, I aim to show in conclusion how an emphasis on covenants captures some of the best of the many discourses about pluralism discussed in the essay, thereby highlighting the advantages of a holistic and balanced approach to conceptualizing normative pluralism.

Title: Legal Reform in Uzbekistan: Prospects for Freedom of Religion or Belief and Covenantal Pluralism
Abstract:
This article examines religious legislation reform in Uzbekistan since 2017, when President Shavkat Mirziyoyev took power after the death of his predecessor Islam Karimov. The article evaluates to what extent the reforms that the Uzbek government has been trying to implement in recent years are advancing religious freedom in Uzbekistan, and to what extent they are helpful in developing covenantal pluralism. The article argues that Uzbekistan has made some progress in furthering freedom of religion or belief for all, thereby improving prospects for covenantal pluralism. However, there are still serious obstacles preventing believers, and especially religious minorities, from full enjoyment of freedom of religion and liberty of conscience.

Title: Promoting Covenantal Pluralism amidst Embedded Majoritarianism in Sri Lanka
Abstract:
Sri Lanka’s post-independence ethnoreligious tussles show how drastically the island has moved away from pluralism. Indeed, the country represents an illiberal democracy that operates like an ethnocracy. Not only is Sinhalese Buddhist majoritarianism now embedded, its proponents are determined to consolidate further majority domination while ensuring minority subordination, leading to a “schadenfreude nationalism” wherein many among the majority community take pleasure seeing minorities hagridden and marginalized. This, however, has not prevented various groups engaging with ethnoreligious minorities, learning of their challenges, and involving them in societal relations as distinct yet equal Sri Lankan citizens. This covenantal pluralism can thrive, provided the island’s major stakeholders champion it. The failure to do so will prevent Sri Lankans from achieving their full potential as citizens and leave the island further diminished.

Title: Religious Pluralism and State Paternalism in Kazakhstan
Abstract:
Kazakhstan's government is proud of the existing model of interfaith relations and uses it for claiming legitimacy at home and shaping the country's image abroad. To compare it with the covenantal pluralism ideal as outlined by W. Christopher Stewart, Chris Seiple, and Dennis R. Hoover, we consider both top-down dimensions (legal regulations of the religious sphere) and bottom-up dimensions (focusing on relational dynamics and interfaith dialogues). We find major discrepancies and argue that state paternalism, in-built hierarchies, and widespread suspicions and prejudices against religious minorities, inherited from the Soviet times, remain key features of the Kazakhstan model.

Title: Religious Diversity and Covenantal Pluralism in the Philippines
Abstract:
In spite of the enduring dominance of Catholicism in Philippine society, religious diversity increasingly characterizes its social and political life. This diversity is predominantly Christian, given the rise of evangelical, independent, and even nontrinitarian churches around the country. Is covenantal pluralism possible? This article answers this question by focusing on what Filipino Christians believe about religion and pluralism. It draws on the 2018 ISSP Religion module to analyze the relationship between denominational affiliation and attitudes about religion and coexistence. Our argument is that Filipino Christians, as a whole, are divided on whether they can live amicably with one another. Two observations substantiate this point. First, Catholics believe that religion brings conflict and that religious people tend to be intolerant more than do members of other churches. Second, in comparison to Catholics, Protestants/Evangelicals and Nontrinitarians are more inclined to believe that practicing religion fosters friendships. Taken together, these dispositions present challenges and opportunities for covenantal pluralism in the country. This article ends by reflecting on covenantal pluralism as a relational call in a society where emerging religious minorities are increasingly influential and competitive.

Title: Buddhist Protectionism, Political Imaginaries of Belonging, and Prospects for Covenantal Pluralism in Myanmar
Abstract:
After decades of military rule in Myanmar, civil society organizations and the National League for Democracy (NLD) have used the opening public space to mount inter-religious dialogue and to raise sensibility for religious freedom in an ethnically and religiously diverse nation. At the same time, the new democratic space is also used by well-resourced Buddhist and nationalist organizations and the military in the name of protecting race and Buddhist religion (sasana). The article argues that it is not clear what democracy in Myanmar means and that its contents are highly contested. However, the promotion of covenantal pluralism seems to be a crucial step towards reconciliation, constitutional protection of religious minorities, and long-lasting peace.

Title: Why Religious Literacy Requires Emotional Literacy
Abstract:
The experience of faith in its affective and aesthetic brilliance and profundity captures and moves people to care and serve. Religious literacy must go beyond the knowledge collected in books and must discover why people love and treasure their faith. It not only involves beliefs and acts of piety, but also how one is transformed in one's heart, mind, and body. We use the embodied choice theory of religion to explain that humans combine emotion and choice in their religious lives. We combine this with Randall Collins' work on interaction ritual chains to describe how emotional interactive ritual chains tie humans to each other and to God.

Title: A Case for Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy
Abstract:
Cross-cultural religious literacy is a comprehensive approach to understanding and conducting the kind of engagement that distinguishes robust, covenantal pluralism from merely indifferent “tolerance” of diversity. Such an approach teaches, respectively, the personal and comparative competencies of knowledge about self, and about the other, as well as the collaborative context in which this knowledge is applied. This approach also teaches the skills—evaluation, negotiation, and communication—of moving toward the other such that shared goals can be identified and implemented.

Title: Chinese Protestantism, Cyber Public Space, and the Possibility of Covenantal Pluralism
Abstract:
The simultaneous spread of social media and the upgrading of censorship techniques in mainland China are shaping a pluralistic but contentious cyberspace. Within this context, Chinese Protestantism is adapting to new freedoms in cyberspace but also demonstrating limits in welcoming pluralism. Historical baggage of antagonism within Protestantism in mainland China remains influential in setting competing camps of Protestant believers on different narratives with regard to the communist regime and tolerance towards other religions. The Chinese Protestant diaspora also plays an important role in perpetuating these divisions. A theologically rooted ethics of public discourse is needed for Chinese Protestantism to move on from de facto diversity to embracing a true vision of covenantal pluralism.

Title: Multi-faith Dynamics in Hong Kong: From Pluralism to Politicization
Abstract:
Hong Kong emerged as an international, cosmopolitan city embracing both Eastern and Western culture under British colonial rule. Different religious groups lived peacefully with each other. No single religious group dominated the population and all religions were equal, an important premise for covenantal pluralism. However, after 1997 China reasserted its sovereignty over Hong Kong, politically empowered some religious groups, and de facto administered religious affairs. The recent social unrest has triggered the authority to accelerate the integration of Hong Kong into mainland China. These political changes have fundamentally transformed the religious dynamics of Hong Kong, and the basis for covenantal pluralism is diminishing.

Title: Taiwan’s Covenantal Pluralism
Abstract:
Despite its diplomatic isolation, Taiwan shines in East Asia as a beacon for pluralism. This is a rare example of a progressive and liberal society where both deep religious diversity and a tolerant secular state co-exist. Taiwan’s liminality between world empires, and its unique position in the global economy partly explain its openness to a diversity of worldviews, but also exposes it to greater challenges to achieve covenantal pluralism. Taiwan’s hard-won democracy has entrenched positive trends, but three issues threaten to undermine it: the political pressure of a domineering China that limits its own religious diversity and that wants to annex Taiwan; the rise in influence of a rather intransigent and divisive religious minority that demonizes its opponents; and the increasing labor immigration addressing the challenges of an aging society.

Title: As Children of Adam: (Re)Discovering a History of Covenantal Pluralism in Afghan Constitutionalism
Abstract:
This article (re)discovers a hidden history of religious pluralism in Afghanistan. First, through exploring the history of Hanafi Islam centered on the idea of “adamiyyah”; and second, through an analysis of the constitutional manifestations of these religious ideas of equality in two constitutions, Amir Amanullah's in 1923 and Nadir Khan's in 1931. These take center stage in this article after a rich discussion of ideas of equality in Hanafi Islam. In this moment, as peace negotiations continue, it is necessary to explore the hidden history of religious pluralism in Afghanistan. This pluralist past may help create a peaceful future.

Title: Possibilities for Covenantal Pluralism in Nepal
Abstract:
This article examines the possibilities for the emergence of covenantal pluralism in Nepal. Although recent trends in Nepal indicate a rise in interreligious hostility and conflict, we argue that advocates of covenantal pluralism should be cautiously optimistic about the possibilities in Nepal. While the greatest threat to covenantal pluralism in Nepal emanates from a reactionary Hindu nationalist social movement, legal innovations—including the ambiguity of the definition of the term “secular” in Nepal's 2015 constitution—coupled with existing social resources offer critical sites of opportunity that can be leveraged in efforts to promote covenantal pluralism in Nepal.

Title: Pandemic Politics in South Asia: Muslims and Democracy
Abstract:
In South Asia, entrenched social and political cleavages involving Muslims or particular groups of Muslims have shaped state efforts to address the global Covid-19 pandemic: Hindu nationalists blamed Muslims for introducing the virus to India; anti-Covid lockdowns extended severe constraints on civil liberties in Muslim-majority Kashmir; anti-state mullahs protested public-health restrictions in Pakistan; Taliban insurgents used the virus as a pretext to delegitimize Afghanistan’s elected government. If one pattern has prevailed across South Asia, however, it is a pattern pushing away from democratic forms of legitimacy: persistent and uneven applications of emergency power, in particular, have weakened the outlook for democracy.

Title: Child Protection Practices and Attitudes of Faith Leaders Across Senegal, Uganda, and Guatemala
Abstract:
Faith leaders are well-positioned to address violence against children, but the extent to which they do so is unclear. This mixed-method study examined faith leaders’ child protection practices, attitudes towards child rights, and views around physical punishment in Senegal, Uganda, and Guatemala. Child protection practices—specifically listening to children and reporting abuse—were strongest among faith leaders in Uganda, although they also most favored use of physical punishment. Overall, findings documented how faith leaders play an important role in promoting the wellbeing of children in their communities. Building on this contribution, however, requires sensitivity to important contextual differences.

Title: The Ambiguous Allure of Ashoka: Buddhist Kingship AS Precedent, Potentiality, and Pitfall for Covenantal Pluralism in Thailand
Abstract:
In the course of the 20th century, Thai political elites fashioned a religiopolitical settlement that has a great deal in common with covenantal pluralism. They did so, furthermore, by rediscovering a historic precedent in the Indian emperor Ashoka, and reinterpreting the image of this paragon of Buddhist kingship so as to emphasize theological humility and a benevolent embrace of religious pluralism. Since the fall of the absolute monarchy in 1932, this Ashokan ideal has been reflected in the Buddhist Thai king’s constitutionally defined role as upholder of religions—in the plural. However, recent developments in Thailand highlight the difficulties associated with sustaining a tolerant and robustly pluralistic policy regime over time, and the inescapable normative trade-offs that this involves.

Title: The Bahá’í Faith and Covenantal Pluralism: Promoting Oneness, Respecting Difference
Abstract:
The core teachings of the Bahá’í Faith are often summarized as the “Oneness of God, the Oneness of Religion, and the Oneness of Humanity.” Can such principles resonate with a pluralism based on the recognition of difference? Covenantal pluralism outlines a set of principles of co-existence based on deep respect for difference that acknowledges the exclusive truth claims of different actors. In this article, we examine how the teachings and practices of the Bahá’í Faith relate to this framework of covenantal pluralism. The “covenantal” vision of human solidarity resonates strongly with the Bahá’í Faith’s own conception of “Covenant” as the foundation of its community, internal constitutional order, and ultimate aims, as well as with the Bahá’í understanding and practice of consultative deliberation. However, the test of pluralism is how Bahá’ís engage with those who reject their religion’s truth claims and aspirations to oneness. In this regard, the Bahá’í teachings affirm the legitimacy of other religions, as well as the choice not to be religious. Bahá’í social engagement emphasizes collaboration with people of different religious and ideological backgrounds in community building, social action, and public discourse. A foundational principle of such engagement is the freedom not to accept the Bahá’í Faith or its teachings. Overall, the Bahá’í approach to pluralism is rooted in an affirmation of ontological oneness that is the foundation for honoring, respecting, and engaging with the social reality of diversity.

Title: The “Ashoka Approach” and Indonesian Leadership in the Movement for Pluralist Re-Awakening in South and Southeast Asia
Abstract:
Leaders of Indonesia’s Nahdlatul Ulama, the world’s largest Muslim organization, are working to consolidate South and Southeast Asia as an alternate pillar of support for a rules-based international order founded upon respect for the equal rights and dignity of every human being. Integral to this effort is a regional strategy called the “Ashoka Approach,” which seeks to reawaken the ancient spiritual, cultural, and socio-political heritage of the Indianized cultural sphere, or “Indosphere”—a civilizational zone that pioneered, long before the West, key concepts and practices of religious pluralism and tolerance.

Title: Prospects for Covenantal Pluralism in the People's Republic of China: A Reflection on State Policy and Muslim Minorities
Abstract:
By focusing on the Chinese state's shifting policies toward Islam and its Muslim minorities, this article considers the possibilities of implementing covenantal pluralism in contemporary China. While the current socio-political conditions in China hold little promise for the realization of covenantal pluralism, there are important social and cultural sources that may be leveraged to reorient the state policy toward a more pluralistic future. This article suggests that to put down roots in China and elsewhere, covenantal pluralism must acknowledge and address the political and economic hierarchy in the world system, which are unlikely to relinquish in the foreseeable future.

Title: Barriers to Covenantal Pluralism in Bangladeshi Public Opinion
Abstract:
In this paper, we explore Bangladeshi popular support for “covenantal pluralism,” a philosophy developed by the Covenantal Pluralism Initiative at the Templeton Religion Trust. We use a novel dataset derived from a 2017 nationally representative survey of Bangladeshi respondents which included numerous survey items germane to this study. Unfortunately, while Bangladesh may most certainly benefit from such a concept, we find little empirical evidence of popular support for its key conditions and propositions. We also find little evidence that any Bangladeshi government would pursue such a concept legally because it would undermine key sources of legitimacy which are necessary to secure the current government’s access to power and opportunities for graft.

Title: Strategic Faith in Russia: Cultural DNA and Managed Pluralism
Abstract:
Russia’s multi-faith society has formed over 1,000 years of geopolitical and cultural evolution. This heritage is key to understanding modern Russia and assessing prospects for “covenantal pluralism.” The Russian government has always managed religious diversity strategically—for national security, domestic stability, and international relations. Covenantal pluralism envisions more—a mutually-reinforcing combination of state-protected equality and societal cross-faith support. This article explains religious plurality as part of Russia’s cultural DNA and analyzes the ensuing contemporary state and societal dynamics of religious freedoms, including in cases of Russian relations with Crimea, Constantinople, Turkey, the U.S., and France, as well as legislation, attitudes, and cyber security. Strategic uses of religion and cultural narratives leverage the dual meaning of “faith in Russia”—religious and patriotic.

Title: Measuring Education Pluralism Globally
Abstract:
In education systems that support pluralism, students or parents can choose the type of school or university they attend. Given heterogeneity in priorities for what should be taught, education pluralism has a value in itself. It may also boost schooling and learning. The fact that there is heterogeneity is clear, otherwise we would not have different types of schools. What is less clear is the extent to which education systems are pluralistic. Rather than looking at inputs for pluralism such as laws and regulations, this article introduces a measure of education pluralism based on outputs, i.e. enrollment in different types of schools and universities. The normalized education pluralism index is inspired by the literature on market concentration. Estimates are provided based on data for public, private non-Catholic, and Catholic institutions.

Title: Malaysia’s Creeping Islamization—and Dimming Prospects for Covenantal Pluralism
Abstract:
For countries with religiously diverse populations that have a record of tense relations with each other, the notion of a covenantal pluralism, if successfully established and entrenched as an organizing principle for society, offers an opportunity to break out of the cycle of mutual mistrust and suspicion. Yet, the reality is that the effectiveness of covenantal pluralism as not just an idea but a framework will depend, among other things, on the structural nature of these relationships between religious constituencies and the processes that shape them, as determined by the configuration of political power. This paper proposes that this is precisely the case in Malaysia, where a deeply entrenched narrative of affirmative action favoring the majority ethnic group has found expression in the spheres of politics, economics, social relations, and indeed, everyday life. Concomitantly, it is for this reason that the prospects for covenantal pluralism to gain traction in Malaysia will be profoundly difficult.

Title: Does Pluralism Matter for the Fulfillment of the Right to Education? Exploring New Indices
Abstract:
There is not a lot of support in the international community today for the role played by the private sector, including faith-based schools, towards achieving the fourth sustainable development goal (SDG), which calls for ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education. Yet, education pluralism is called for in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In a separate paper published in this journal, a measure of education pluralism was suggested to reflect this idea. In this paper, that measure is combined with data on educational outcomes to assess whether taking pluralism seriously may affect assessments of the fulfillment of the right to education.

Title: Religious Responses to the Military Coup in Myanmar
Abstract:
The military coup in Myanmar on February 1, 2021 ended semi-civilian rule (2011–2021), bringing the country once again under direct military rule. Through a multi-methodological approach—analyzing written statements, digital data, and qualitative interviews—this article explores how multiple religious actors have responded to the coup. Our findings show that compared to previous uprisings, the 2021 anti-coup protests were characterized by global internet culture, interreligious solidarity, and new visions for a plural and democratic Myanmar. Behind the seemingly spontaneous street protests were also religious institutions and networks, indicating long-term pro-democracy education, activism, and networking within different religious fields.

Title: Cultural Congruency and Covenantal Pluralism in the Lao PDR
Abstract:
Laos has a poor track record on human rights but surprisingly there has been slow but significant progress on religious freedom over the last decade. This progress has been inspired by Lao religious leaders who are drawing on religious virtues to inspire more benevolent leadership. This religiously inspired vision has produced as a counter narrative to the worst aspects of the historical and cultural dominance of the ethnic Lao over ethnic and religious minority groups. Leaders who draw on the moral power of religion will be key to the emergence of covenantal pluralism in Laos.

Title: On Pendulum Effects in American Historical Memory
Abstract:
American history has often witnessed a “Pendulum Effect” in consideration of the nation’s own past. That is, attitudes swing from one interpretive pole to the opposite, in this case for interpretations of the Plymouth Pilgrims, the Mayflower, and “the first Thanksgiving.” The articles in this special issue try to avoid those extremes, but while still treating fairly and with sharp moral scruples, the events of four centuries ago and their contemporary legacies.

Title: A Conversation about History, Race, Immigration, and the City on a Hill
Abstract:
This contribution is a conversation between Matthew Rowley and Abram Van Engen about the latter’s recent City on a Hill: A History of American Exceptionalism (Yale University Press, 2020). They discuss the changing importance of the Pilgrims and Puritans over four centuries, looking in particular at the contested nature of American identity that was constructed on divergent national foundation narratives. The conversation spans from the Mayflower in 1620 to debates over celebrating and confronting history in the present. We also discuss changing views of history, race, immigration, nationalism, and American exceptionalism, all in the context of political and historical polarization.

Title: The “First Thanksgiving” in the 21st Century—as Retold in Presidential Proclamations
Abstract:
This article explores how American presidents retell and interpret the so-called “First Thanksgiving.” It offers analysis of the 20 presidential Thanksgiving proclamations issued from 2001 to 2020, situating them within the long evolution of the holiday. The specific focus is on how Bush, Obama, and Trump spoke of God, Pilgrims, Indians, and the enduring “spirit” of the First Thanksgiving. This analysis gives a glimpse into contemporary popular understandings and political uses of Thanksgiving and its imagined roots—and how those understandings and uses contrast with those of previous generations.

Title: Who Owns the Pilgrim Fathers? American Protestants and a Contested Legacy
Abstract:
This article charts a century of competition among American Protestants over the Pilgrims’ legacy. The tug-of-war began in the 1820s, pitting Congregationalists against Unitarians, and grew to include other denominations with fewer reasons to celebrate the original Plymouth settlers, from Episcopalians and Baptists to Quakers and the AME Zion. It culminated in 1920, when ecumenists upheld a band of dissenting separatists as the true architects of Christian unity. This article argues that all of the back-and-forth helped to create American Protestant denominationalism, fine-tuning a competitive and often unwieldy system and providing a regular practice in the human intricacies of religious pluralism.

Title: “Inharmonious Elements” and “Racial Homogeneity”: New England Exceptionalism and Immigration Restriction
Abstract:
From the colonial period, many Americans have adhered to the notion of the United States as a unique nation, rooted in the idealism of the Pilgrims and Puritans, and deriving its values, purpose, and meaning from its Protestant, Anglo-Saxon heritage. The belief in New England exceptionalism as the source of American greatness provided a foundational past that scientists, academics, and legislators invoked in the twentieth century to justify laws restricting the arrival of Asians, Catholics, and Jews. These laws reflected historical tensions over American identity and reverberate in the nation’s ongoing attempts to define and comprehend a shared past,

Title: Ghosts of Thanksgiving Past, Present, and Future
Abstract:
The Thanksgiving story contributes to the formation of the American social imagination. The social imagination of Thanksgiving emerges from the larger context of the American mythology, specifically drawing from the self-perception of exceptionalism and triumphalism. These imaginaries are shaped by internalized narratives such as the Doctrine of Discovery. The Thanksgiving story as it continues to be re-enacted, affirms the assumption of an exceptional people, chosen by God to bring hope and life into the New World. How does one begin to theologically deconstruct this mythology and begin to construct a more helpful imagination around the Thanksgiving narrative?

Title: Many Great Migrations: Colonial History and the Contest for American Identity
Abstract:
If we think of the nation as a table, perhaps a Thanksgiving one, who belongs around it? Who is the host, and who the guest? What are the criteria for inclusion, and who gets to decide? This article uses the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower and the “First Thanksgiving” to explore “many great migrations.” For those migrating and for those who encounter the migrants, the movement of peoples prompts fundamental questions of identity, difference, inclusion, and belonging. Perhaps looking at history can help those in the present view the challenging questions posed by new peoples as an opportunity.

Title: Controlled Religious Plurality: Possibilities for Covenantal Pluralism in Vietnam
Abstract:
Historically, Vietnamese approaches to religion are highly inclusive, with flexibly overlapping religious traditions and ritual practices built on a substratum of ancestor worship. As Vietnam was colonized and became independent, religion became politicized, institutionalized, and separated from the “secular” state, which sought to bring religious practices in line with new state orthodoxies. With a new understanding of “religion” predicated on the Christian model, Vietnam adopted a model of state-religion-society relations that emphasizes not only rights but also obligations, active cooperation between state and religion, and respect for all religions which are declared equal before the law, largely in response to international demands to incorporate the universal model of religious freedom. Yet, the Vietnamese state still perceives religion as a competing source of authority. Consequently, some religions are not considered for official recognition and their followers, such as highland ethnic minorities, are treated as sub-citizens by their own state. Occasionally, their conversion is misread by the rest of society as the rejection of Vietnamese culture. The failure to consider ethnic minorities as modern subjects and state citizens on a par with the Kinh (Vietnamese) majority prevents Vietnam from achieving full-fledged covenantal pluralism.

Title: Towards Religious Ways of Knowing: Reflections on the REL Symposium and the Future of the Field
Abstract:
The article issues a call for scholars of religion and global politics to reach beyond dominant positivist epistemologies and methodologies—which it does not reject—and to engage in “ways of knowing” that adopt a “first person standpoint” that aims to adopt, or at least get as close as possible to, the perspective of people and communities who practice religion. These might include understanding the phenomenon of religion itself from this standpoint; engaging in practical reasoning; crediting knowledge gained through testimony; and crediting faith as a mode of access to truth.

Title: Daniel Philpott's Constructivist, Historical, and Institutionalist Contributions to the Study of Religion and International Relations
Abstract:
This essay assesses Daniel Philpott's wide-ranging contributions to religion and International Relations. Philpott has done much to uproot entrenched biases that neglect productive interconnections between religion and international political order. Here, I use Philpott's influence on my research to emphasize the constructivist, historical, and institutionalist dimensions of his scholarship. I structure my comments around themes of methodology and theoretical range, disciplinary critique and advancement, and programmatic development in international peace. Philpott's scholarship highlights how many religious actors are active in security, aid, and development. We still need to better engage these actors in combating global disorder, inequality, and injustice.

Title: An Encounter in Three Phases with an Intellectual Giant
Abstract:
In this essay, I reflect on my encounter with Daniel Philpott (Dan) across three distinct phases of my academic journey so far. First was my encounter with “Dan the scholar.” When I was a PhD student, Dan’s work introduced me to the field and profoundly shaped my thinking about religion and global politics. My second encounter was with “Dan the mentor,” a generous scholar who supports early career researchers. The third encounter was with “Dan the intellectual giant.” The unparalleled breadth and depth of Dan’s thinking became fully apparent once I began to lecture on religion and global politics myself.

Title: Religion, Peace, and Inclusive Communication in Daniel Philpott’s Scholarship
Abstract:
Although there is a burgeoning literature on religion and peace, it has been challenging to address the role of religion(s) and religious actors in the public sphere with care, sensitivity, and intellectual rigor at the same time. This essay argues that Daniel Philpott is one of the few scholars who has overcome this challenge. The essay reviews his contributions to the religion and politics literature through three lenses: (1) Religious Epistemologies of Peace, (2) Religion, Empathy, and Communication, and (3) Recognition of the Diversity of Voices.

Title: “Turkmen Islam” and the Paucity of Real Pluralism in Turkmenistan’s Post-Soviet Nation-building
Abstract:
The end of the Soviet Union gave Turkmenistan the opportunity to explore identity and to experiment with expressions of religiosity. Yet despite a long religious history that was relatively lacking in doctrinal rigidity, the country has moved profoundly away from the ideals of covenantal pluralism. The country is predominantly Muslim, but religious literacy is low. While shrine pilgrimage is still a popular undertaking, the country’s two presidents have used Islam to buttress their regimes, and the state actively discourages other forms of religious expression. The law appears to make room for religious pluralism but, in reality, little space is accorded to competing beliefs or lifestyles.

Title: Building Pluralism in Central Asia: Outlining an Experiential Approach in Kyrgyzstan
Abstract:
Pluralism recognizes diversity and aims to facilitate peaceful coexistence across a variety of interests and convictions. Across Central Asia, states have become increasingly authoritarian and in turn less favorable to implementing political and legal structures commonly seen as necessary for pluralism. The question about the potential for pluralism in Central Asia, however, is different from one on how to build pluralism. In this article, I argue that despite the less-than-sanguine prospects for pluralism to emerge across the region, pluralism can be built through programming that engages difference and creates new solidarities around shared experience, without the insistence on shared meaning.

Title: Religion and International Relations in Today’s Marketplace (or Industry?) of Ideas
Abstract:
The many scholarly contributions by Daniel Philpott beg comparison with ideas of one of the founding fathers of the International Relations (IR) field, Hans Morgenthau, his seldom quoted ideas on moral crisis of modernity, religion, and the crisis in International Relations discipline. Using the distinction by Daniel Drezner between public intellectual and opinion influencer (with academics sadly absent from the latter category), this concluding essay in a special symposium of essays in honor of Philpott encourages him to chart his ideas of the future of IR in general, the subfield of religion and IR, and his future work.

Title: Covenantal Pluralism in Pakistan: Assessing the Conditions of Possibility
Abstract:
This article considers religious liberty in Pakistan through the lens of covenantal pluralism. This theorizes that a robust and relational form of pluralism can be sustained provided that three “conditions of possibility” exist and interlock. These conditions include the proactive promotion of legal guarantees, religious literacy, and social demands for mutual respect. One applies these conditions as a framework to evaluate current affairs in Pakistan. One concludes that the first two are severely lacking due to governance, but the third condition looks more promising and points to the resilience of the people as seen in their cultivation of mutual respect across the nation’s considerable diversity.

Abstract:
Warren G. Harding is often regarded as an unintelligent and bumbling president. Instead, a closer study reveals a diligent and serious public servant whose private immorality has overshadowed significant achievements in both domestic and foreign policy. His efforts in foreign affairs and military policy were informed, in part, by the convictions of his Christian faith. This faith was grounded in a strong Evangelical Protestant heritage.

Title: Authoritarian Governance and Ambiguous Religious Policy: An Uncertain Future for Covenantal Pluralism in Tajikistan
Abstract:
The former Soviet Central Asian republic of Tajikistan has witnessed a conflictual political and social transformation after 1991 leading to a devastating civil war between 1992 and 1997. After the civil war, international efforts of liberal peacebuilding and post-conflict rehabilitation allowed a domestic détente, in which political and, importantly, religious pluralism could flourish unprecedently for the standards of the country. Still, this form of pluralism did not meet the ideal standards of covenantal pluralism as such. In the past decade, moreover, Tajikistan has gradually turned into a consolidated autocracy in which even formal pluralism is suspended. Authoritarian governance, especially in the sphere of religion, has aggravated societal divides and undermined social cohesion in the country. Although the short-term prospects for pluralism in general and covenantal pluralism in particular are dim, a differentiated perspective on the ideal of covenantal pluralism in the longue durée might provide possible starting points for meaningful engagement in Tajikistan bridging religious, societal, and political divides.

Title: Essays in Honor of Daniel Philpott: An Introduction in Two Parts
Abstract:
Annual competitions for Distinguished Scholar Award are a highlight of activities of sections and caucuses of the International Studies Association (ISA). The 2021 award by the Religion and International Relations section (REL) of the ISA to Professor Daniel Philpott generated unusual enthusiasm. This was expressed during the ISA convention roundtable event honoring Dr. Philpott, and also in the ten essays in this special symposium of essays. They identify Dr. Philpott's multifaced contributions, each singling out important aspects of his work, which are also summarized in an introductory video. The essays are followed by an article from Dr. Philpott reflecting on the study of religion and the future of the field.

Title: Bringing Ideas and Religions Back in Political Science: Contributions of Daniel Philpott
Abstract:
Political Science has been dominated by quantitative methods and formal theory. Recently, even the editorial board of the American Political Science Review implicitly admitted the domination of statistics and rational choice in the discipline. Yet most books asking big questions have been written by scholars who employ qualitative, particularly comparative historical, methods. Over the last two decades, Daniel Philpott has produced books and articles that primarily employ qualitative methods and examine the causal relationship between ideas and international politics. He has explored such relevant and diverse issues as ideational revolutions and sovereignty, religions and democratization, peace and reconciliation, and religious freedom in the world.

Title: Two Cantatas
Abstract:
In a mere six pages of Revolutions in Sovereignty, Daniel Philpott connects John Calvin’s theological writings to the foundations of the sovereign international system, one logical step at a time. It’s like a Bach chorale, moving in bold chord progressions from key to key until it arrives at a place that is both surprising and feels entirely like home.

Title: The Radical Christian Witness of Daniel Philpott’s Scholarship
Abstract:
A radical Christian witness underlies Daniel Philpott’s scholarship, a witness especially rooted in his Catholic vision and practice. Philpott’s work on religious freedom, human rights, and democracy is anchored in the Christian conception that all humans are stamped with the divine likeness and thus endowed with surpassing equal worth and dignity. His work on post-conflict reconciliation and peacemaking flows from the gospel mandate that followers of Christ must love sacrificially and forgive those who harm them, even enemies. Finally, his work on justice is inspired and guided by the biblical vision of comprehensive righteousness, of justice as restoration of right relations.

Title: Intrinsic and Strategic Leverage of Religion in Development
Abstract:
Strategic religious engagement (SRE) is important for five main reasons: (a) the direct and significant contributions of religious actors to humanitarian assistance and development, not least their high levels of trust and access, and their distinctive contributions to spiritual care; (b) The local presence and knowledge of faith-based organizations (FBOs) and religious communities that are critical to self-reliance; (c) the significant if often complex relationships that FBOs and religious communities have with governments and other civil society actors; (d) the dual capacity of religious communities to amplify/ameliorate suffering and conflict; and, (e) the central roles of religions in shaping humanitarian norms and law.

Title: The USAID Strategic Religious Engagement Summit: What Was Not Said
Abstract:
This essay reflects on the 2020 USAID Evidence Summit on Strategic Religious Engagement and the field of “religions and development” from the perspective of a practitioner and scholar working in intergovernmental and inter-/multi-religious organizations and spaces for over three decades. Reviewing the papers presented at the Summit, this essay raises some criticisms about perceived gaps in the discussions which also reflect gaps in scholarly work, as well as in some of the ongoing practices, including asking some questions about inclusion of actors, analysis, and narratives not available in English and/or presenting the work of non-Christian resources. The essay ends with some recommendations for working on the religion-and-development nexus going forward.

Title: Putting the “Strategic” into Strategic Religious Engagement
Abstract:
In light of the lessons learned both from COVID-19 response and now over 20 years of research on religious engagement, this essay lays out the flaws in current religious engagement in humanitarian and development work. Religious engagement can be seen as unknown, unevidenced, and unacknowledged by development agencies. Now knowing more than ever about religious engagement, there are mistakes that can be avoided by understanding the previous religious engagements, challenging secular-religious dynamics, and purposefully using the evidence. Overall, the essay argues that current religious engagement is not strategic, but suggests how each of these flaws can be counteracted.

Title: Religious Engagement in Development: What Impact Does it Have?
Abstract:
Religious involvement in humanitarian aid and development takes countless forms, varying by country, traditions, and sector. Research and operational evaluations have expanded in recent years, with some sectors far better documented than others, notably health and peacebuilding. There are, however, substantial gaps in evidence, most significantly regarding local and non-formal involvement. Pandemic preparedness and response are critical issues ready for further development. Family planning, a USAID priority, exemplifies sensitivities but also positive examples and potential. Experience of religious engagement on women’s empowerment including specific issues like gender-based violence (GBV) and child marriage, can be complex, but their importance warrants particular attention. Child protection poses similar issues.

Title: Impressions & Indications of Religious Engagement in Development
Abstract:
This article focuses on the challenges of gathering, presenting, and using evidence that shapes deliberate and systematic religious engagement linked to international development and humanitarian programs. It sets the topic in a historical context, exploring the abrupt shift from a general neglect of religious dimensions by many institutions to the contemporary rising interest across wide-ranging institutions. It explores the “state of the art” today, asking what knowledge is available focused specifically on religion and development and in what disciplines, pertinent research (actual and emerging), and various relevant literature reviews that assess bodies of evidence.

Title: Implementing Strategic Religious Engagement in International Development
Abstract:
Strategic religious engagement in relief & development efforts requires: a careful country assessment, establishing appropriate principles of engagement, and defining priority sectors and institutions (possibly including multireligious platforms equipped to serve as intermediaries). Important factors to take into account include: (a) a risk assessment; (b) review of information sources and gaps; (c) understanding religion-state relationships; (d) religious roles in civil society and with both formal and informal institutions; (e) involvement in humanitarian activities including prevention and response; and (f) possible sensitivities and conflicts involving religious actors including potential for engagement with a peacebuilding focus.

Title: Right-Sizing Religion and Religious Engagement in Diplomacy and Development
Abstract:
Drawing on a combination of academic research and practical experience, this essay explores recent policy trends at the intersection of religion and diplomacy. Framing the issue in terms of a need to “right-size” approaches to religion in foreign policy, this analysis reflects on how to think about assessing the relevance of religion in particular diplomatic and developmental settings; efforts to determine the appropriate scope of religious engagement work in diplomacy; and the challenge of building broader constituencies within the policy community to support religious engagement work.

Title: Strategic Religious Engagement in International Development: Building a Basic Baseline
Abstract:
This essay introduces a special, open-access issue of this journal focused on the intersection of religion and relief & development. It describes the discussions—of terminology and tangibility, of perspective and practice—that shaped the research done for the “Evidence-Based Summit on Strategic Religious Engagement,” a conference organized and hosted October 5–8, 2020 by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). This special issue consists of four research papers produced for the Summit, along with four response essays. While the available empirical evidence, expertise, and experience varies across myriad issues involving the nexus of religion and relief & development, these papers do document the tremendous growth of this field in the last 20 years, as well as the enormous opportunity to contribute.

Title: Covenantal Pluralism in “Homogenous” Japan: Finding a Space for Religious Pluralism
Abstract:
This article explores the concept of covenantal pluralism in a context of postwar Japan, with a focus on the legal framework separating the state from religion and guaranteeing the rights of religious minorities. The article argues that while there are relatively few instances of sectarian strife, the lack of agreement on how to interpret the category of religion, in particular in relation to Shrine Shinto, continues to lead to struggles between different camps. The article also questions the feasibility of covenantal pluralism as an ideal in a country where national identity is so closely linked to ideas of social homogeneity.

Title: Responses to Religious Dissenters and Refugees: Lessons from Early Modern History
Abstract:
Given contemporary social conflict and political struggles with diversity and difference, we would be foolish to think that we have little to learn from the past. Early modern people faced questions regarding treatment of religious dissenters and refugees that are similar to ones facing us today. What obligations do we have to the displaced and the persecuted? How do we respond to religious and ideological others? And just how far does our hospitality extend?

Title: The Diplomacy of the Holy See and its Transformation in the Context of Relations with the United Nations
Abstract:
The Holy See has formal diplomatic relations with almost all states of the world and with international organizations including the United Nations (UN), where it holds Permanent Observer status. Its diplomacy considers the UN as one of the most important agents in international affairs. In the article, we clarify the Holy See’s role as a Permanent Observer and its views on international cooperation before the Second Vatican Council. We then shed light on the leading principles and aims of its diplomacy at the UN as verbalized through the papal addresses to the General Assembly, letters to UN secretaries general, and various messages. Finally, we describe the Holy See’s position in the long-lasting debate over UN reform.

Title: Covenantal Pluralism: Resonances and Dissonances in Cambodia
Abstract:
This article explores to what extent the ideals of covenantal pluralism resonate with or deviate from socio-cultural processes in Cambodia. It examines efforts made by various Khmer Buddhist protagonists to recover moral order following the Khmer Rouge era. Conversely, it describes how power continues to be monopolized by certain actors in a way that undermines trust in institutions and in other people generally. Thus it explores the tension between a religious system that might offer protection for all and a predatory political reality marked by unrestrained greed that benefits the powerful at the expense of the vulnerable.

Title: Pluralizing Pluralism: Lessons from, and for, India
Abstract:
Embracing religious belief and societal norms, in addition to state laws and policies, covenantal pluralism has the potential to address key limitations of existing approaches to dealing with religious diversity. Nevertheless, it also shares some of the problems of other ideals. Notably, the demands of covenantal pluralism seem too onerous for most of the world, relying as they do on most of the population recognizing the value of religious pluralism. This article explores the possibilities and limits of covenantal pluralism in India, once heralded as a pluralist democracy, currently under the grip of Hindu supremacist authoritarianism. India’s historical record challenges key assumptions of theories of pluralist co-existence, illuminating problems and prospects for covenantal pluralism across the globe.

Title: Religious Diversity and Religious Governance in South Korea: From Nominal to Covenantal Pluralism
Abstract:
Historically the paradigm of religious governance in South Korea focused on controlling and regulation, with a constrained conception of “diversity” and a thin veneer of tolerance. The traditional pattern of religious governance in Korea reflects a merely nominal pluralism and problematic oligopolistic assumptions. Religious and worldview diversity is increasing in numerous ways. The mismatch between religious governance and religious diversity can be seen in the government’s treatment of unconventional religious groups. There is a need in Korea for the kind of robust, relational, and non-relativistic model represented by covenantal pluralism. Fortunately, there are emerging signs of potential progress toward this model.

Title: Hindu Nuclear Politics and the Logic of Realism
Abstract:
Two variants of Hindu political thought proved decisive in determining the timing and rational behind India’s acquisition of nuclear weapons. Despite the realist logic of deterrence that dominates the discourse around nuclear proliferation, both Gandhian and Hindu nationalist actors subverted the logic of realism in India’s armament—in opposite directions. Whereas Gandhian moral inspiration drove India to avoid armament when it was strategically advantageous from a realist perspective, Hindu nationalist impulses proved decisive in pushing India to arm under far less strategic circumstances. This essay examines the history of Hindu nuclear politics, and its implications for nuclear proliferation, the logic of realism, and the future of religio-political movements.

Title: The Tyranny of Religious Freedom Rankings
Abstract:
In this essay, I discuss three areas where I’ve identified problems with religious freedom datasets and how they are used by academics and policymakers. First, I discuss the implications of the problematic ways in which religious freedom rankings are being used. Second, I argue that religious freedom violations that can only be observed at the subnational level tend to be overlooked by religious freedom datasets. Finally, I stress the importance of understanding the multidimensionality of religious freedom to avoid oversimplifications of reality. I provide practical recommendations for the improvement of religious freedom datasets and their correct use by policymakers.

Title: Religious Equality and Freedom of Religion or Belief: International Development’s Blindspot
Abstract:
The relationship between freedom of religion or belief and international development continues to be severely under-explored in the literature, despite the copious body of scholarship that distinctively deals with each separately. The relevance of exploring this nexus is particularly significant in view of the increasing visibility of multilateral, bilateral, and non-governmental action aimed towards advancing freedom of religion or belief through development or humanitarian aid. Western development thinking, policy, and practice has always struggled with how to engage with religion. This article analyses the sources of confusion between religion and freedom of religion and belief, and the challenges of addressing religious inequalities in theory, policy, and praxis.

Title: Introduction: Freedom of Religion or Belief as a Human Right
Abstract:
Human rights remain a contested issue in theory and practice. Several scholars have criticized their theoretical underpinnings, and practitioners struggle to enforce these rights. The right to freedom of religion or belief is an integral part of the international human rights framework and, as such, has been criticized alongside human rights in general. Not only that, the right to freedom of religion or belief has been decried or ignored by some human rights defenders, while it has also been mishandled by groups aiming to undermine other human rights. Put simply, freedom of religion or belief is contentious right within the widely challenged field of human rights. Still, we believe that freedom of religion or belief is an inalienable human right, and in this introductory article we present a summary of a diverse range of actors that have in various ways defended this right in their own capacity, all around the world.

Title: Blurring Boundaries or Deepening Discourses on FoRB? From Global to Local and Back Again
Abstract:
This article explores whether, and if so, how, vernacularization could play a role in fostering commitment to the right to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) across different cultural and political contexts. It suggests that while there are indications that vernacularization could and does contribute to this goal, there are points of concern and aspects that remain under-researched. These lingering caveats relate to the process of vernacularization itself and to its specific application to the right to FoRB. Resolving these dilemmas requires sustained, active attention by scholars, policymakers, and advocates engaged in human rights research and implementation.

Title: Clash of the Titans or Friendly Bedfellows? Freedom of Religion or Belief and Women’s Rights in India
Abstract:
This article uses a case study of India to examine the contested relationship between two sets of human rights—freedom of religion or belief on the one hand, and women’s rights to life, dignity, equality, non-discrimination, sexual autonomy, and bodily integrity on the other. Through a critical analysis of the practice of female genital mutilation within the Bohra Muslim community, which is currently the subject of a constitutional challenge in the Supreme Court of India, this article illustrates how the contestations between the two sets of rights can be more effectively understood and addressed using the international human rights framework.

Title: Breaking the Conservative Monopoly on Religious Liberty
Abstract:
In recent years, conservative legal advocates in the U.S. (and increasingly abroad) have engaged in large-scale—and often successful—efforts to gain religious exemptions from laws advancing reproductive and LGBTQ rights. But conservatives do not hold a monopoly on religion or religious liberty litigation. Religious minorities, progressive Christians, and other faith practitioners have brought a diverse range of religious liberty claims. This article surveys ten such lawsuits and analyzes their key differences with claims brought by social conservatives. It argues that advocates of religious pluralism in America and abroad should devote more resources and attention to progressive religious liberty claims.

Title: Freedom of Religion or Belief and Cultural Heritage Protection: Synergistic not Competitive
Abstract:
Unrealized synergies exist between freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) and cultural heritage protection (CHP), as these two related but rarely interacting fields of interest present novel opportunities for joint efforts on common concerns. New pathways to protect heritage and ensure worship rights can bring together international standards on CHP and FoRB with the praxis of individuals using historical sites with religious significance.

Title: Freedom of Religion or Belief and Freedom of Expression
Abstract:
This article discusses the relationship between the right to freedom of expression (FoE) and the right to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). These two human rights are often understood to be in a tense relationship, and some see restrictions on FoE as a necessary precondition for full protection of FoRB. This article argues that the two rights are, however, best understood as inextricably interrelated and intertwined, and that restrictions on FoE will very often lead to restrictions on FoRB.

Title: Reflections on Freedom of Religion or Belief and Security
Abstract:
This article explores the relationship between the human right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief (FoRB) and security. It argues that FoRB and security are intricately intertwined and uses the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s (OSCE) concept of comprehensive and co-operative security as a theoretical underpinning and ideal-type model from which to assess other approaches to security. Through this lens, it asserts that if sustainable security is an end-goal, and if FoRB helps to ensure it, arbitrary restrictions of this right, or intrusive interference into the lives of religious or belief communities, will ultimately only undermine security and should be avoided.

Title: Contesting Unfreedom: To be Queer and Christian in the Philippines
Abstract:
Queer Filipinos continue to experience different modes of discrimination, abuse, and coercion, mainly because of conservative religious worldviews. They encounter these experiences in their households, schools, workplaces, and churches, which we refer to as spaces of unfreedom. How do queer Filipinos navigate these spaces of unfreedom? We answer this based on interviews with queer young adult men who grew up Christian in various denominations. We argue that they are in an ongoing process of contesting unfreedom through moral, theological, and aspirational reasoning. We conclude by making a case for robust religious freedom for LGBTQ+ persons—one which goes beyond the legal discourse and recognizes their spaces of unfreedom.

Title: Becoming Through Belonging: Women of Faith and Global Leadership
Abstract:
This essay explores the identity pathway to realizing one’s full potential within the religious framework of women from a multi-faith perspective. When exploring one’s calling for meaningfulness, women of faith search for answers within their ascribed roles culturally and their higher calling from the Divine. In the search for becoming, they find their sense of belonging within their religions. Belonging gives their lives a sense of purpose and resiliency to serve the vulnerable and marginalized.

Title: Piecing the Puzzle—Women and Freedom of Religion or Belief
Abstract:
Despite the normative integration between freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) and women’s rights, the misperception that women’s rights and FoRB are clashing rights persists. This is compounded by the extensive religiously phrased reservations by States upon ratification of international treaties that amplify this misperception that FoRB serves to restrict women’s rights. The correctives to these misperceptions lie in reflecting upon the universality, indivisibility, interdependence and interrelatedness of all human rights norms (see the 1993 Vienna Declaration and Program of Action, article 1.5). They also lie in the realization that FoRB is a right like any other. FoRB is neither a right of “religion” as such nor an instrument for support of religiously phrased reservations and limitations on women’s rights.

Title: Advancing Gender Equality Without Forfeiting Religious Autonomy: Squaring the Circle?
Abstract:
This paper aims to understand the reasons why religious freedom and gender equality often appear to be competing values. The clash is observable in OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) countries, which are home to a variety of cultural and religious traditions. No progress toward greater social peace and harmony can be made as long as there are groups who feel under threat because of their sexual or religious identities. If human rights must be understood as a system of interrelated rights and not rights in opposition, then a proper balance between the two aspects should be sought. While legal means may well be necessary, they are probably not the most effective way to bridge the gap in this real—or at least apparent—dilemma.

Title: Freedom of Religion or Belief and Gender Equality in the Netherlands: Between Pillars, Polders, and Principles
Abstract:
The Dutch approach to calibrating freedom of religion or belief and gender equality is characterized by its outspokenness as far as external affairs are concerned and, historically, the absence of a similar degree of fortitude when it comes to its internal affairs. Recently, the two perspectives—internal affairs and external relations—have become more or less aligned. This process was significantly steered by judicial interventions and interventions by human rights monitoring bodies, which judicial recourse was mobilized in turn by civil society. The non-proactive attitude on the part of the state must be understood—yet not necessarily justified—on account of its unique political constellation in which pillars, polders and principles are driving, if conflicting, forces.

Title: Church-State Cooperation and its Impact on Freedom of Religion or Belief and on Gender Issues in Russia
Abstract:
The cooperation between the Russian state and the Russian Orthodox Church has many legal implications. One such implication is that the ethical teachings of the Church exert influence on state policies in matters such as sexuality, gender, and family. This influence is one of this article’s main areas of focus. The Church’s teachings find wide support in Russian public opinion and thus indirectly influence lawmaking and law application in that nation. Another issue this article addresses is how the Church benefits from alliances with the State that enable it to consolidate itself by suppressing possible internal dissent and fighting its opponents among non-traditional religious denominations. The State and the Church also successfully cooperate at both a national and global scale to pursue a well-coordinated strategy of conservative denial of liberal views on human rights through the assertion of traditional family values. Law of the Russian Federation 2020 Amendments symbolically affirm the enduring pattern of unison of political and religious powers in Russia, while also creating new questions about the further development of this cooperation.

Title: International Obligations and Internal Tensions: Individual Religious Autonomy and Gender Equality in Russia and Central Asia
Abstract:
There are strong geographic patterns in how people view religion, national identity, minorities, and key social issues across different regions. These patterns also exhibit themselves in the ways that freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) and gender equality are viewed. This article focuses on gender equality in Central Asia and Russia and analyzes the international human rights treaty monitoring cycles within the United Nations. It also reflects on selected cases in the treaty committees. This article combines legal, human rights perspectives with current social research to identify deficiencies in states’ fulfillment of their positive duties under international law to address the intersections between gender-based discrimination and religion. It employs the concept of intersectional discrimination to analyze these connections. The connection between FoRB and gender equality from the perspective of intersectional discrimination has not been sufficiently researched in relation to Central Asia and Russia. The treaty monitoring documents are a good starting point for this research and give a comprehensive picture of existing legal issues and underlying social problems.

Title: Ukrainian Churches and the Implementation of the Istanbul Convention in Ukraine: Being Europe Without Accepting “Gender”
Abstract:
For religious communities in Ukraine, the struggle about “gender” has become a contest about their commitment to the European integration of the country. Although Ukraine participated in drafting the Istanbul Convention and was among its first signatories, the churches in Ukraine prohibited its ratification until the latest. The article explores the encounter of Ukrainian churches with the ideas of the Istanbul Convention, analyses the national and transnational alliances, which affect the debate, and explains the challenge to combine pro-European sentiments and anti-genderism.

Title: A Commitment to Religious Freedom as the Bond that Makes Us Free: Reinvigorating Security, Religious Autonomy, and the Good Society
Abstract:
This article is a continuation of my search for a better metaphor than “balancing” to seek mutual vindication of the important values of security and religious freedom. Here I suggest the metaphor of how resin helps hold together layers of fabric to create fiberglass or Kevlar. The resin, I suggest, that binds the sheets of material together are the basic fundamental values that underly liberal constitutionalism—including the rule of law, due process, the presumption of innocence, and equal protection. I focus particularly on important messages from George Washington to religious communities upon his election as President and his message to his fellow countrymen upon his retirement for guidance about the importance of religious freedom to the democratic experiment in self-government.

Title: Introduction: Religion and Comprehensive Security
Abstract:
The concept of “comprehensive security,” developed by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, helps to break down any dichotomization between security and freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). Comprehensive security involves the integration, rather than balancing, of three inter-related dimensions of security: the political-military, the economic-environmental, and the human. The articles in this featured symposium in The Review of Faith & International Affairs address all three of these dimensions of comprehensive security.

Title: Comprehensive Security and Religion: Moving Away from the Securitization Zeitgeist in the Digital Transition
Abstract:
The notion of comprehensive security, as developed in the OSCE context, can help in securing internet and digital freedoms against the rise of digital authoritarianism. This contribution will focus on the role of the digital transition in society and its impact on freedom of religion or belief. It will also assess the contribution that the notion of “comprehensive security” can offer in the context of the digital transition. To protect human rights and, among them, the right to freedom of religion or belief, we must embed human rights within the concept of security. Doing otherwise would mean to surrender to authoritarianism.

Title: An Examination of the Anti-impeachment Movement of Conservative Protestantism in Korea
Abstract:
This article aims to characterize the Korean conservative Protestants who participated in the anti-impeachment movement in 2017 and supported the former president, Geun Hye Park. They preached virulent anti-communist ideologies that developed into an eschatology. Their supposedly pristine past had more in common with Jung Hee Park’s regime than the Bible or early Christian history. And they were inconsistent because of their favor of economically biased modernization, in contrast to their proclaimed anti-modernism. This article also discusses whether these characteristics connote fundamentalism. They differ from the characteristics of American fundamentalism as a prototype, and can be classified as a Korean variant of fundamentalism.

Title: Diplomatic Leadership Development after the “Weaponization of Everything”: Approaching Religion or Belief as a Professional Competence
Abstract:
This article describes new education and research work with government departments and major NGOs to develop fresh approaches and paradigms of leadership learning about religion and security for those engaged full time in global politics, diplomacy, and policy. Drawing from research in seven countries, it proposes a move away from an embrace of specialist “religious literacy” education advocated by high-profile religious actors. Instead, this article proposes the opportunity for leadership development which assesses religion or belief as a generic evidence-based core professional diplomatic competence worthy of serious attention no more nor less important than any other professional field. As a first step in that goal, it delineates a new open-source tool entitled the Religion for International Engagement Matrix and describes its positive reception when trialed, including with two foreign ministries.

Title: Freedom of Religion or Belief is Security: The 2019 OSCE Policy Guidance on FoRB and Security
Abstract:
In September 2019, the Policy Guidance of the OSCE’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights on “freedom of religion or belief and security” considered in a totally new perspective the interaction between security and religion and the model generally adopted by States and Governments in reacting to religious-inspired terrorism acts and in preventing religious radicalizations. The Policy Guidance sets out that security and religious freedom are complementary rights and not competitive rights. The notion of “comprehensive security” means that the OSCE’s concept of security, namely a real and lasting security, in a complex and globalized society, can only be reached where there is an adequate protection of human rights with religious freedom being high up on the list.

Title: COVID-19 and Religion: Pandemic Lessons and Legacies
Abstract:
The essay draws on a multiyear project to assess how religious communities worldwide experienced the COVID-19 pandemic and how they have in turn shaped responses to the pandemic. It focuses on religious public health responses, religious gatherings, and practices such as funerals, and the remarkable responses, especially at community level, offering social safety nets to people devastated by lockdowns and economic crises. Stigma, violence against specific groups, effects on women and children, and mental health are central challenges. The pandemic casts new light on contemporary forms of religious practice, community, mobilization, and engagement.

Title: Comprehensive Security and LGBTQ Rights
Abstract:
According to the OSCE, contemporary threats to security are more likely to arise from causes other than armed conflicts. The OSCE considers the list of potential security threats open and able to intersect the military, economic, and “human sphere.” Yet, how open is this list and how open should it be? This paper tackles this question by examining the issue of whether discrimination and intolerance against LGBTQ populations can be considered a security threat that pertains to the human dimension of security. The current conflict in Ukraine illustrates the dangers of an expansive approach to framing security.

Title: Counter-terrorism, Discrimination, and Freedom of Thought, Conscience, Religion, or Belief
Abstract:
This article discusses the impact of religion-centric counter-terrorism trends on peoples’ enjoyment of freedom of thought, conscience, religion, or belief (FoRB). It underlines that everyone should be able to access this human right equally without discrimination, regardless of their convictions, but that this is not always the case. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s (OSCE) comprehensive security model, which considers human security alongside more conventional politico-military, environmental, and economic aspects, can be used to assess the quality and sustainability of security offered by contemporary counter-terrorism measures and provides a useful benchmark for state action in this area.

Title: Comprehensive Security and the Environment: The Challenge for Religions
Abstract:
With the environment growing as a crucial component of comprehensive security, this article presents the case for an active role of religious actors in environmental security. Descriptively, religious actors need to be acknowledged as providers of literacy on the ecological crisis and security threats, as well as agents of multilevel dialogue projects. At the same time, prescriptively, they should be challenged, from within their communities and from outside, about what they could and ought to improve in literacy, partnerships, and agency. It is argued that the resulting transformational process might decisively affect the redefinition, trajectories, and impact of environmental security as a crucial component of comprehensive security.

Title: Re-framing Common Themes in Religions and Development Research
Abstract:
Religions and development research over the last twenty years has centered around some major common themes: that religions matter but are side-lined or ignored; that there are surges of interest in religions from international development policy makers and practitioners but that these can lead to instrumentalization and unfair co-option of religious assets; and multiple definitions and categorizations of faith-based organizations. While these major themes have advanced the field previously, new and recent emerging themes update and re-frame these previously dominant debates. The analysis in this article finds that the new emerging themes push for engaging with the complexity and contextuality of religions, working with a fuller diversity of religious actors, and using a range of research methods. Ultimately, the article finds that researchers in religions and development can move beyond questions of “added value” of religions to development, and instead focus on the nuance of religions for development goals in contextually specific ways.

Title: Evangelicals and Comprehensive Security
Abstract:
Using the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the World Evangelical Alliance as reference points, in this paper I do three things. First, I define my key terms: comprehensive security and evangelicalism. Second, I examine several of the most significant barriers to a wider embrace of the comprehensive security paradigm among evangelicals. Third, I look at some of the main evangelical statements that contribute to the cause of comprehensive security. My interest here is evangelical articulations of commitment to international human flourishing that complement the holistic vision of comprehensive security.

Title: Catholic Social Teaching and Economics: Reflections on the Economy of Francesco
Abstract:
The paper describes the impact of the Economy of Francesco (EoF) on the economic debate and practices, within the framework of the Catholic Social Teaching. EoF was a cultural and experiential process and event held online and through a number of meetings around the world between March 2020 and September 2022. The anthropological limitations of homo economicus, with his methodological egoism and procedural rationality, and the need for a broad approach to education are discussed. The paper highlights strengths and weaknesses of EoF and reviews what has been already accomplished in the process and what is still to be accomplished.

Ten years ago, in March 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Pope, taking the papal name Francis. Pope Francis has had a profound impact—some would argue a transformational impact, on the Catholic Church and on the world. To celebrate ten years of his papacy, the idea came about to put together a special issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs on one aspect of his magisterium: his vision for education and integral human development, including the idea of a Global Compact on Education. The essays gathered in this special issue consider Pope Francis’ vision and how it may be relevant for schools and universities (Catholic or not) as well as for businesses and our understanding of the economy and integral human development.

Title: Pope Francis' Vision for Education and the Call for a Global Compact on Education
Abstract:
In September 2019, Pope Francis called for a broad alliance to renew our commitment to education to build a more fraternal humanity. To understand the Pope’s call for a Global Compact on Education, it is useful to explore his vision for education. For Pope Francis, education can no longer be reduced to what happens in the classroom. We need educational strategies that give a chance to the transformation and above all to the humanization of the world. We need an “education village” in which parents, communities, and societies are fully engaged. The call for a Global Compact on Education can be understood as a new paradigm for thinking about education.

Title: Reducing Petty Corruption in Schools in Africa: A Role for Faith?
Abstract:
Particularly in low- and lower middle-income countries, petty corruption remains prevalent in service delivery, whether in schools, health centers, administrative services, or other institutions. In reference to Pope Francis’ call to say no to corruption in his recent trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo, this article measures the extent of corruption in schools in Africa using data collected by the Afrobarometer. More than one in four respondents have encountered problems to obtain the education services they need for their children and nearly one in five have had to pay bribes or do other favors for education providers. This proportion does not appear to have declined significantly over the past decade. Regression analysis suggests that different household characteristics are associated with the likelihood of having difficulty obtaining the services they need and the likelihood of being a victim of corruption. Interestingly for this special issue, while faith affiliation does not seem to affect the likelihood of providing favors to obtain services, religiosity does appear to matter—and therefore so may faith leaders.

Title: Our Common Home: Climate Shocks, Educational Outcomes, and Education for Sustainable Development in Africa
Abstract:
Pope Francis has made the protection of our common home a central theme of his Papacy. This may be nowhere more important than in Africa, a continent that is already today highly vulnerable to climate shocks due in part to high levels of water stress in many countries, food insecurity, and forced displacement, among others. In this paper, we use household surveys from West African countries to explore the impact of covariate shocks (most of which are weather-related) and international migration as a potential response to shocks on educational outcomes for children of primary school age. The results suggest that shocks affect educational outcomes substantially, but that international migration may generate benefits for children of migrants. The paper also briefly discusses policy prescriptions on how to tackle climate change, arguing that education to sustainable development should be a priority.

Title: Catholic Universities in an Increasingly Competitive Environment
Abstract:
Pope Francis’ vision for a global compact on education, including the role that Catholic universities should play, is in sharp contrast to the vision that dominates the higher education sector: that of producing graduates for gainful employment. Can Catholic colleges and universities rise to the challenge? This article provides a partial answer to that question by first considering four trends affecting higher education globally: (i) the impact of Covid; (ii) the technologization of higher education; (iii) the promise of employability; and (iv) the great unbundling towards micro-credentials. Thereafter, using data for the United States, the article provides a brief assessment of whether Catholic universities may be losing ground, while nevertheless keeping some sources of comparative advantage. The analysis remains explorative and tentative. What seems clear is that there is a lot of heterogeneity between institutions, with some struggling and others finding ways to maintain their comparative advantages.

Title: Advancing the Common Good Through Purpose-led Business: Catholic Social Teaching and a Blueprint for Better Business
Abstract:
In 2012, a group of UK business leaders approached the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster about what they perceived as a breakdown of trust between business—especially big business—and society. This led to an initiative called A Blueprint for Better Business, which became an independent UK-based charitable trust in 2014—separate from the Church, and also independent of business, funded by charitable foundations and individuals and latterly by corporate donations. Blueprint works with leadership teams in large companies to support and challenge them, fostering a movement of businesses and investors who want to change behavior and expectations of the role of business in society. This paper recounts how the initiative developed, drawing attention in the process to Catholic social teaching including Pope Francis’ encyclicals Laudato Si and Fratelli Tutti, both written after Blueprint was founded.

Title: A New Jesuit School in Brussels: Going to the Periphery
Abstract:
One of the key themes of Pope Francis’ Papacy is his call to go to the periphery. For Catholic schools, this includes opening new schools to serve those who are disadvantaged. Opening a new school is however not a trivial matter. And opening a new Jesuit school in a small country like Belgium that already has 16 other Jesuit schools is even less trivial. Still, this was the intention of the initiators of the Matteo Ricci College in Brussels, Belgium’s capital city, when they got together in 2012 to set up this project. As former students of the Collège Saint-Michel, a long-standing and large Jesuit high-school in Brussels, they were aware of the need for new schools in the Belgian capital due to sustained demographic growth in this cosmopolitan and multicultural city. This article tells the story of the creation of the college, and its emphasis in serving children from disadvantaged backgrounds with a number of pedagogical innovations.

Title: Pope Francis' Vision and Whole Child Education: Exploring the Foundational Beliefs of Cura Personalis and Accompaniment
Abstract:
This paper is a response to Pope Francis’ invitation to dialogue on how Catholic educators can help shape the future of the planet by focusing on integral human development. Offering a discussion of the theological foundations of two primary beliefs of whole child education—cura personalis, the care for the whole person, and accompaniment, the process of journeying with the child and their caregivers throughout the educational process—this paper advances Pope Francis’ vision for integral human development and advances a framework for practitioners and scholars to be attentive to in their practice and research.

Title: Service-learning in Catholic Universities: Results from a Global Mapping Survey
Abstract:
Service-learning can be a powerful tool to implement the commitments suggested by Pope Francis under the idea of a Global Compact on Education. The practice is considered high-impact for students. It can also help Catholic higher education institutions support their students’ search for meaning while strengthening their own Catholic identity in a way that respects the diversity of views about faith in the student body. Service-learning may also contribute to a culture of encounter, bringing more tolerance and compassion into the world. Do Catholic universities provide adequate service-learning opportunities to their students? Based on a recent survey, this article provides a diagnostic of the level of institutionalization of service-learning and community engagement activities in Catholic universities globally. While most Catholic universities do have a range of service-learning initiatives, these activities are fully integrated in only one-fourth of the universities that responded to the survey. There is however a lot of interest in doing better, and clear pathways for that purpose.

Title: Can We Have Religious Freedom and Social Harmony?
Abstract:
Throughout history religious freedom has often been severely restricted by governments on grounds of protecting social “harmony.” Lack of religious uniformity has been feared as a source of instability. By contrast, many Western countries—especially the United States—champion the idea that religious freedom naturally supports social harmony, peace, and flourishing. This paper uses global data from the Pew Research Center’s Government Restrictions Index (GRI) and Social Hostilities Index (SHI) to compare Western countries with Asian countries, identifying which countries have low scores on both of these indices. The data show that this ideal combination is not very common, and to the extent it occurs, it is found in both the West and Asia.

Title: Jus Post Bellum and the Decision to Withdraw from Afghanistan
Abstract:
This article makes moral sense of the Western withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. It does so by applying classical just war thinking. The classical bellum justum, it argues, can make a distinctive contribution toward evaluating the decision to leave Afghanistan, a decision that continues to be discussed controversially. The article points out that classical just war thinking did not introduce distinct moral categories beyond jus ad bellum, such as jus in bello or jus post bellum. Exactly because classical just war thinking was meant to apply to all phases of a war, the article goes on to argue, it provides important lessons for just war as a tool of statecraft that seeks to inform political decision-making. Applying the wisdom that is encapsulated in the classical bellum justum to the withdrawal decision in Afghanistan, the article, although it is critical of its execution, generally sides with the Biden administration's course of action.

Title: The Effectiveness of Freedom of Religion or Belief as a Framework in International Relations: The Case of Uyghur Muslims and Other Religious Minorities in Xinjiang, China
Abstract:
This article assesses the effectiveness of religious freedom as a framework in international relations for its ability to define the issue in Xinjiang and propose solutions. In defining the problem, religious minorities other than Muslims, such as Christians, are ignored. This prevents social awareness and policy from addressing the issue, and fosters the Muslim majority to appropriate the Uyghur identity, marginalizing the non-Muslim religious minorities. Moreover, other identities (e.g. national, ethnic or linguistic) and causes of the conflict (e.g. socio-economic inequalities or historical resentment) are often overlooked. In solving the problem, no solutions are proposed to the underlying issue (separatist movements). On the other hand, China’s alternative framework defines the problem (terrorism, separatism, and extremism) and provides the basis from which to propose (savage) solutions: sinicization.

Title: China’s Religious Diplomacy for its Belt and Road Initiative: A Review and Assessment
Abstract:
This article analyzes China’s religious diplomacy surrounding its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), an interagency effort that serves multiple goals ranging from image cultivation to diplomatic engagement. The author reviews diplomatic engagement with Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, and Taoists before and after 2015. The brief concludes by assessing the factors that impact the effectiveness of China’s religious diplomacy. Factors such as competition with the United States, the sustainability of the BRI, and China’s doctrine of religious Sinicization, as well as its emphasis on “ideological national security” and its internet regulation, among others, will influence the effectiveness of China’s religious diplomacy.

Title: Is Interreligious Dialogue in International Relations “Dialogue-Washing” for Authoritarian Regimes? an Exploration of KAICIID and ICCS as Track 1.5 Diplomacy
Abstract:
This paper explores whether interreligious dialogue (IRD) is employed by state actors that may be perceived as authoritarian as a form of window dressing, or dialogue washing. Two examples are chosen, the King Abdullah International Centre for Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue (KAICIID), and Singapore’s International Conference on Cohesive Societies (ICCS). It is argued that such examples exemplify IRD as track 1.5 diplomacy, and the context means they veer towards performing dialogue as social cohesion. While criticisms of each are raised, it is argued that the accusation of dialogue-washing is unfounded and that useful IRD, social cohesion, or peacebuilding work emerges from each which accords with the interests of the countries involved and aligns with the nature of IRD under track 1.5 diplomacy.

Title: Religious Communitarianism, Covenants, and Liberal Theory: On the Political Thought of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
Abstract:
Lord Rabbi Sacks was a major religious Jewish figure. In this article, we examine his version of a covenant-based communitarianism. We begin with exploring Sacks’ social communitarian view, and his support of a covenant-based politics. We then turn to evaluate Sacks’ covenant-based view, and argue that while his social communitarian view is valuable and important, his covenant-based political view faces the same challenges that troubled communitarian views, namely the fact of religious, value, and ethnic plurality. One possible way forward is via a federalist system, in which covenants are localized.

Title: Measuring Subnational Variation in Freedom of Religion or Belief Violations: Reflections on a Path Forward
Abstract:
In recent years, numerous cross-country data collection instruments measuring freedom of religious or belief (FoRB) violations have become available. These have provided important insights, not least of which being the steady increase in religious discrimination across the globe. At the same time, the country-level focus of extant datasets often obscures subnational variation and leaves open important questions about the mechanisms driving FoRB violations in particular contexts. Through this article, we seek to initiate a more systematic discussion of how to collect, analyze, and, where appropriate, incorporate subnational measures of FoRB violations into global datasets. Drawing on original empirical fieldwork in Latin America, we emphasize the need for such efforts by showing that structural forms of religious discrimination observed at the subnational level often go unnoticed in existing global datasets. We then identify key conceptual and measurement challenges that should be addressed in order to better advance scholarship on subnational FoRB dynamics, as well integrate subnational and national data collection efforts. Our findings have implications for how we study and respond to the growing number of FoRB violations around the world.

Title: Revisiting Religious Freedom as a National Security Lens: The Case of China
Abstract:
The distressing state of global democracy and religious liberty provides scholars and foreign policy practitioners an opportunity to rethink national security analysis by considering religious freedom as a national security lens. This article reprises the primary author’s framework, published ten years ago in The Review of Faith & International Affairs, assessing “what they say and do” on religious freedom as a means to understand threats and challenges to global peace and U.S. national security. This article analyzes a specific case—how China treats religion at home, among its neighbors, on the international stage, and in its political ideology.

Title: Indonesia’s Fragmented Responses to International Pressure During the 2016–2017 Blasphemy Case
Abstract:
This article examines how states respond to the use of international pressure as an instrument for promoting freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). It applies the framework of stigma management to understand the responses of Indonesia to international pressure due to the imprisonment of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok for allegedly defaming Islam (2016–2017). This article argues that the responses were not monolithic. The state articulated a narrative that affirmed the importance of protecting FoRB, but also held that it is less urgent compared to respecting the rule of law and maintaining Indonesia’s sovereignty. The Indonesian Islamists disseminated a narrative that rejected the FoRB norms, framing them as an expression of Western hypocrisy. This variety of responses is reflective of the domestic political configuration. The state’s narrative was intended to appease the increasingly powerful Islamists and mitigate the international loss of reputation. The Islamists’ response, meanwhile, reflected their attempts to neutralize the influence of international discourses of FoRB on their projects to increase their domestic power. Combined, however, these discourses resulted in the justification of Ahok’s prosecution and the practice of Indonesian blasphemy laws.

Title: Clergy as First Responders: Rethinking Leadership in Religion and Peacebuilding
Abstract:
Drawing on research about Presbyterian experiences of Northern Ireland’s Troubles, we argue that the religion and peacebuilding literature’s emphasis on prophetic leadership has meant that the field has overlooked the significance of the roles of clergy as “first responders” to violence and as providers of long-term pastoral care. These roles can be conceptualized as contributing, albeit indirectly, to everyday peacebuilding by facilitating (in some cases) personal healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation. The wider field of religion and peacebuilding would benefit from including the pastoral role of first responder in its conceptualizations of religious leadership in violent contexts.

Title: A Violent Nexus: Ethnonationalism, Religious Fundamentalism, and the Taliban
Abstract:
The Taliban is a prime example of a movement that combines a fundamentalist interpretation of religion with a particular form of exclusionary Pashtun ethnonationalism among the jihadist groups. The existing literature on jihadist groups recognizes this trend in so far as a distinction is made between groups that focus on local objectives and others that pursue global objectives such as attacking Western interests. However, there are important gaps in understanding the mechanisms and implications of the interpenetration of religious fundamentalism and ethnonationalism. This article aims to address this gap by unpacking the mechanisms that link religious fundamentalism and ethnonationalism as hybrid ideological underpinnings of the Taliban. It argues that a more nuanced understanding of the entanglement of these ideologies is necessary for developing effective strategies for building peace and inclusive societies.

Title: Neo-Taliban? Thinking Through Typological Differences
Abstract:
There is a need for discursive categories to characterize differences among the Taliban. Drawing from interviews with IEA leadership and extensive examination of local social media and new sources, this study introduces four typologies within the Taliban movement. These are inter-related and mutually dependent, and from their juxtaposition we consider some implications for the trajectory of the regime. We argue that the Taliban’s ideology has not changed, but rather that its constituency is changing, particularly among those with greater access to technology and transnational resources.

Title: Pakistan’s Ethnic Parties’ Religious Narratives and Practices
Abstract:
Based on the secondary sources, this paper examines the link between ethnic political parties and religion in Pakistan, focusing on case studies of BNP-M in Balochistan, ANP in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and QAT in Sindh provinces. ANP aimed for freedom from Punjabi political dominance without challenging religious sentiments. However, they faced opposition from Pashtun Taliban, perceiving ANP as a threat to religious narratives. ANP's liberal stance was seen as a threat to religious practices and contributed to their loss in the 2018 general elections. BNP-M has appeared neutral on the state's religious narrative and seeking inspiration from leftist transnational political parties in neighboring countries. BNP-M avoided affecting religious sentiments and focused on common social, political, economic, and human rights issues related to the local people. QAT openly adopted a liberal and leftist ideology, taunting religious groups, which negatively impacted local sentiments and hindered their popularity.

Title: Pashtun Neo-Ethnonationalism
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is threefold. Firstly, it seeks to examine the genesis and widespread adoption of a more inclusive and expansive political trend known as Pashtun neo-ethnonationalism in Pakistan. Secondly, it aims to investigate the various dimensions, trajectories, and growing influence of neo-ethnonationalism among diverse social forces, including left-leaning groups, Islamists, developmentalists, modern professionals, and others. Lastly, the paper aims to discuss the key factors and dynamics that have contributed to the emergence and proliferation of neo-nationalism within the diverse Pashtun social fabric. Contrary to stereotypical assumptions that depict Pashtun nationalist expression as static and primordial and characterized by violence and conflict, this research delves into the dynamics of ruptures, negotiations, and assimilations that shape the evolving neo-Pashtun identity.

Title: Memory and National Identity Among Afghan Refugees in Peshawar
Abstract:
Drawing on the literature on nationalism and national attachment, as well as memory studies, we analyze the extent to which Afghan refugees in Peshawar continue to identify strongly with their homeland, or with Pakistan. Based on survey research and in-depth interviews, we find that second generation immigrants have a stronger Pakistani and weaker Afghan identification compared to those who grew up in Afghanistan. This relationship is mediated by a number of factors, including religion. Native Pashto speakers generally have a stronger sense of Pakistani identity compared to non-Pashto speakers, and Urdu fluency also has an impact on their national identity. Interestingly, those who gained their education through a religious seminary, or madrasa, identify more strongly with Pakistan compared to those who studied in the public school system. Furthermore, self-reported regularity in daily prayers and Quranic recitation is also associated with a stronger sense of Pakistani identity.

Title: Ideology, Clericalism, and Socialization: Some Reflections on the Sociology of the Afghan Taliban
Abstract:
Before the occupation of Kabul by the Taliban movement in 2021, there had been some hopes that in power, it would behave very differently from how it acted when it earlier occupied Kabul from 1996 to 2001. This proved not to be the case. Always inscrutable, the movement prioritized ideology over interests, embodied a “theocratic-descending” model of authority, and was the product of a pathogenic pattern of socialization. Under such circumstances, the likelihood that it could succeed in securing legitimacy appears very low. A more likely scenario is the use of extreme coercion by the Taliban to crush any resistance.

Title: Introduction: Ethnic Nationalism and Politicized Religion in the Pakistan-Afghanistan Borderland
Abstract:
There is a presumed tension between nationalism and religious ideology in the context of ethno-linguistic communities in the contemporary politics of Central and South Asia. This essay introduces a series of articles that explore these issues along the Pakistan and Afghanistan borderland. Together we explore how religion, nationalism, and ethnic identity interact with one another to shape political phenomena in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and its turbulent border region. We examine the extent to which ethno-linguistic and religious identities interact with, reinforce each other, and at times may come into conflict with one another.

Title: The Conflicting Synthesis of the Taliban’s Religious and Cultural Identity
Abstract:
Though there is no constitution or founding document at present, a book written in 2022 by Abdul Hakim Haqqani, the Chief Justice of the Taliban’s government, titled The Islamic Emirate and Its System (al-Imarat al-Islamiat wa-Manzumatuha) appears to be a blueprint for the newly minted Islamic Emirate (IEA). This is the first intentionally prepared written source by a senior Taliban official on the intellectual foundations of the IEA structure. The book addresses various subjects, such as the sources of Islamic legislation, independence, and the principles of politics, judiciary, and economics. It is a distillation of the intellectual foundations, and it offers new insight into the Taliban's political strategy. In this essay I present some of the central ideas of Haqqani’s book and question its implications for understanding the conflicting synthesis of the Taliban’s religious and cultural identity.

Title: The Causal Impact of the Taliban’s Insurgency and Return to Power on Economic Well-being in Afghanistan
Abstract:
This study examines the causal impact of insurgency and government collapse on economic well-being in Afghanistan. Utilizing Bayesian structural time-series causal impact models, the research investigates the effects of the long-standing Taliban insurgency, the resulting insecurity, and the uncertainty associated with the US policy shift and reduced international aid on Afghanistan's economic well-being. Additionally, the study conducts a counterfactual analysis to assess the hypothetical impact if the Taliban insurgency or restoration had not occurred. The findings demonstrate that international aid has not contributed to sustainable economic well-being, and that the policy shift of the US from counter-terrorism toward engaging in negotiations with the Taliban, has resulted in a significant economic decline. This research offers valuable insights into the intricate relationship between aid dependency, insurgency, political uncertainty, and economic well-being in fragile and aid-dependent states like Afghanistan.

Title: Hybrid Extremism: Ethnonationalism and Territorialized Islamic Fundamentalism in Afghanistan
Abstract:
The US withdrawal, coupled with the instantaneous collapse of the Afghan government, brought the radical Islamists, the Taliban, and the Haqqani Network back to power in August 2021, making them the first militant fundamentalist group to regain power and ascent to a ruling status. For Afghanistan, burdened with politicized ethnic divisions, ethnic mobilization, and fragmented political culture and social structure, the failure of the post-2001 political process and its retrograding impact has proved destructive and devastating. While both ethno-nationalist and radical Islamist passions are active in Afghanistan’s socio-ecological system, the Taliban has introduced a hybrid version of extremism that is built upon the long-standing Pashtun ethnonationalism and the Taliban’s radical Islamism. This article examines the historical roots of the complex Islamism-nationalism/ethno-nationalism problématique and their intermittent resurgence and explores how the Taliban’s hybrid extremism has resulted in an “impossible state,” and the dynamics for change and transformation toward more inclusive and participatory governance.

Title: In the Province of Faith: Disaggregating Pakistani Religious Parties’ Electoral Performance at the Sub-national and Denominational Levels
Abstract:
This paper analyzes the performance of Pakistan’s religious parties in Senate and general elections, 1970–2021, to re-evaluate widely repeated claims of poor performance. Employing datasets of provincial assembly, Senate, and National Assembly results, I argue that performance has been consistently underestimated and overlooked as a result of “whole-nation bias” in a country with very significant regional diversity. Given that parties’ electoral power coalesces at the provincial level in Pakistan, and that religious parties are built around strong denominational identities, election data has been disaggregated along these lines. The results challenge conventional narratives of political Islam’s trajectories in the country.

Title: Salafizing Hanafiyya? Madrasa Teachers in Afghanistan, State Actors, and Salafis
Abstract:
This article investigates the Saudi-financed Salafi intervention in Afghanistan, focusing on its impact on the dominant Hanafi legal tradition and the rejection of Salafized madrasa curriculum reforms by Hanafi scholars. It explores the involvement of foreign actors in supporting reform-oriented Salafis to prevent radical elements from gaining political power. The study delves into theological differences between Salafis and Sufis, their interpretation of tawhid, and their incorporation of Western political concepts. Additionally, it highlights the tensions between the Hanafi legal framework and the proposed Salafi curriculum, revealing the intricate dynamics of Islamic normativity.

Title: Being and Becoming: The Human Person and Human Dignity in Charles Malik’s Contribution to the UDHR
Abstract:
Charles Malik’s contribution to the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) introduced in the conversation a profound commitment to the Christian humanist tradition by challenging the drafting committee to imagine an idea of human rights moving beyond the triviality of the distinction between individual and society. Driven by his influences from Orthodox theology, existentialist philosophy, neo-scholastic tradition, and from his rich ecumenical networks, Malik produced a synthesis which gravitates around the notion of the human person and its inherent dignity, which defined in different ways the trajectory of the discussions of the UDHR committee and, ultimately, the trajectory of modern human rights.

Title: A Courageous Muslim Voice: How Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan Saved Article 18 of the UDHR
Abstract:
This article focuses on an important debate during the drafting session of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: the Pakistan-Saudi Arabia divide over the right to change one’s religion or belief. The debate’s outcome provides compelling evidence of how Muslim voices and Qur'anic arguments profoundly impacted the ultimate adoption of the Declaration’s Article 18 provision on freedom of religion or belief. Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan’s trailblazing contributions to the Declaration provide a hopeful lesson: the pursuit of protecting freedom of religion or belief for everyone depends, in large part, on empowering more courageous Muslim voices who can faithfully harmonize Islamic precepts with universal rights guarantees.

Title: P.C. Chang, Multicultural Confucian Philosopher and Human Rights Champion
Abstract:
This article presents some of the main contributions from the Chinese philosopher and diplomat P.C. Chang regarding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Chang was one of the key drafters and he influenced the document in crucial ways during the whole drafting process, such as its religious neutrality and its broad range of rights. He combined Western philosophy and Confucian ethics in his contributions. He became vice chair of the Human Rights Commission at the UN and worked closely with Eleanor Roosevelt, the chair of the commission. He emphasized the Eastern perspective and he was highly critical of the colonial legacy, especially from delegates such as the Frenchman René Cassin.

Title: Contending Discourses on Human Rights and Dignity in the Post-World War II Era
Abstract:
This article examines the contending discourses on human dignity among leading figures of the “Third World”—a disparaging category for the downtrodden nations of the world—within the context of the 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UDHR). It delves into the discursive contestations played out by figures from Third World nations, which had just gained independence or were in the process of decolonization. In particular, this article examines discourses on human rights and dignity by Sukarno, Indonesia’s independence leader, and others who vehemently fought against colonialism based on their ideology and faith.

Title: UNESCO and the Drafting of the UDHR: Navigating Theories and Practices
Abstract:
Immediately after its creation in 1945, UNESCO concerned itself with the idea of a unified framework of rights that would give foundation to the new international order. The enterprise it undertook with a great sense of urgency in 1947 in relation with the drafting of the UDHR by the UN Commission on human rights reflected both the natural law philosophy inherited from the European 18th century, and the 20th century’s imperative call for the realization of the socioeconomic rights of all peoples, across the globe, including those still under political and racial oppression and colonial rule.

Title: Colonel William Roy Hodgson: A Soldier of Principle, Peace, and Pugnacity for Human Rights
Abstract:
Colonel William Roy Hodgson was Australia’s representative on the Human Rights Commission and member of the drafting committee for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, 75 years on, his contribution has largely been forgotten. This paper seeks to rediscover his legacy. He was a survivor of the World War One battle at Gallipoli, a dedicated and hard-working member of Australia’s fledgling External Affairs Department during World War Two and a passional advocate for enforceable human rights as a necessary part of ongoing peace.

Title: The Loveliness Men Hide: Eleanor Roosevelt on Human Dignity
Abstract:
Eleanor Roosevelt’s conception of human dignity, a key foundational concept of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), influenced how she approached her duties as a member of the Declaration’s drafting committee. Her understanding was deeply practical, based not primarily on a philosophical or religious view of human nature, but on an actual care for particular human beings. Her love of humanity was not abstract or theoretical; it was built from the ground up. The final text of the UDHR reflects Eleanor’s vision for human rights, and for human dignity for everyone, everywhere.

Title: Drafting on the Basis of Dignity: John Peters Humphrey’s Contribution to the UDHR
Abstract:
Despite his idiosyncratic biographical journey, John Peters Humphrey became the first director of the Division of Human Rights at the United Nations and one of Canada’s most distinguished civil servants. Charged with preparing an initial draft of what would become the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), he had a pivotal role in rooting the human rights articulated in the UDHR in the concept of human dignity. Implicitly drawing on his understanding of a Christian morality freed from its “tommyrot,” his largely unrecognized organizing criteria for selecting and articulating the rights included in the initial draft appears to have been “the dignity of man.”

Title: Charles Dukes, the Deist and Labor Unionist who Shaped the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Abstract:
Seventy five years after Charles Dukes represented the UK at the UN’s Human Rights Commission which drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1947–1948, he is scarcely known compared with “major” figures of the drafting, like Roosevelt, Malik, and Cassin. With little formal education, the life-long trade union official had a very different profile from the jurists, academics, and diplomats who represented the other 17 states. Yet, Dukes’ intimate practical understanding of social and economic rights added an essential perspective, at a moment when the Cold War began to stir, including the battle for the heart of organized labor.

Title: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Soviet Political Religion, and Soviet Law
Abstract:
This article discusses the Soviet contribution to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the interplay between the UDHR and Soviet legal system. The paper focuses on legal aspects of the Soviet Union’s lack of interest in the UDHR and argues that, due to the nature of the Soviet political regime, which can be defined as a political religion, Soviet law itself was fully incompatible with any meaningful idea of human rights. In order to demonstrate this incompatibility, the paper explores three aspects of Soviet law: Marxist-Leninist philosophy of law as the ideological premise of Soviet legal system; Soviet understanding of human rights; and Soviet theory of international law. The paper ends with a discussion of the role the UDHR played in Soviet and post-Soviet law.

Title: Lives on Hyphens: Contributions of Hernán Santa Cruz from Chile and Guy Pérez Cisneros from Cuba to the UDHR
Abstract:
The story of the making of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is, essentially, the story of a group of men and women who brought to the drafting table their deeply held convictions about what makes us human, the provenance of our rights, and our individual and collective duties and obligations. Naturally, for some delegates, these convictions grew out of their faith. This essay reflects on the contributions made by Hernán Santa Cruz, from Chile, and Guy Pérez Cisneros, from Cuba. It suggests why these contributions have been largely lost to history and reflects on how their faith was shaped by the circumstances in which they lived and, in turn, shaped the Declaration. Their perspectives are captured from their writing, secondary literature, and the observations of a chronicler of the drafting, John P. Humphrey.

Title: Introduction: Faith and the Founding Figures of Human Dignity
Abstract:
This special issue features original research on a wide range of individuals and groups that contributed to the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The issue examines how the concept of human dignity played an important role in the definition, drafting, and successful completion of the UDHR. Contributors also give special attention to the religious or faith perspectives of the drafters (or the absence of such perspectives), and how this shaped their views of human dignity, human rights, and freedom of religion or belief.

Title: Christian Nationalism's Threat to Global Democracy
Abstract:
Christian nationalism is a political ideology and cultural framework advocating for the fusion of a particular form of Christianity with a county's civic life and political institutions and for the privileging of Christianity in the public realm. Accordingly, in its pursuit of political power at the expense of democratic rules and norms and in its repudiation of religious diversity and different ways of thinking, Christian nationalism constitutes a serious threat to democracy. Much of the research on the political and social implications of Christian nationalism focuses on the United States. Yet Christian nationalism is not solely an American phenomenon. This brief essay argues that Christian nationalism, in various forms, is a global phenomenon and an important but underappreciated ingredient in the recent decline of democracy occurring around the world.

Title: Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy and Faith-Based Social Service Organizations’ Boards
Abstract:
A growing body of literature provides insight on the importance of education for cross-cultural religious literacy. Yet for many faith-based social service organizations, one area where such education is underdeveloped is at the board table. This essay recommends key practices for the boards of faith-based social services organizations intending to grow in their understanding of cross-cultural religious literacy.

Title: Know Your Enemy: Understanding the Worldview and Motives of Osama Bin Laden and the Jihadist Movement He Inspired
Abstract:
The purpose of this essay is to recall what motivated bin Laden to risk his life, his family, his fortune, and his reputation in confronting the military might of the United States in order to (1) rid the Muslim world of the U.S. presence, (2) overthrow repressive, apostate Muslim regimes not governed by Sharia law, and (3) destroy the state of Israel. The point of understanding bin Laden’s motives is not to excuse any aspect of the barbarous acts he committed, but rather to capture as fully as possible the magnitude of the threat he posed and that which al Qaeda and similar groups, buttressed by his martyrdom, continue to pose.

Title: Theorizing Catholicism in International Relations: An English School Framework
Abstract:
This article draws attention to a trend in International Relations (IR) discourse that analyzes aspects of Catholicism through an English School lens. It argues that IR analyzes of aspects of Catholicism should or could be more productively theorized through a two-fold English School framework: (a) religious ideas, customs, and practices underpinning international society; and (b) the preference of the Catholic Church in pluralism versus solidarism English School debates. This framework can, arguably, be used as a tool for future IR investigation of aspects of Catholicism to better understand the influence of Catholic actors in international society.

Title: The Silence of the Roman Catholic Church on the Ukraine War
Abstract:
In the face of war, not only state actors, but also religious actors react and engage in international politics. When studying religious narratives of war, what is not said can be more revealing than what is said. Such is the case when analyzing the Roman Catholic Church’s narrative since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. A striking pattern of silence emerges which arguably has serious implications for upholding international law. Both in an international political (Holy See at the United Nations) as well as a transnational religious context (Pope Francis I addressing followers) the Roman Catholic Church has remained silent on Russia’s aggression and breach of international law.

Title: Clerics Should be Champions of Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy: And Yet …
Abstract:
Recent years have witnessed accelerating global crises that make cross-cultural religious literacy all the more necessary. Religion could and should be playing a part in dealing with these crises, and yet instead of helping face these issues, sadly religion is often contributing to the complex challenges we face. This is not going to be fixed quickly or easily, but rather will require years of civil society building—with creative and consistent involvement of clerics—so that religion can speak to the issues the world faces in a healthy manner.

Title: An Experiential & Informal Pedagogy for Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy: Lessons from South Africa for a Troubled Muslim World
Abstract:
In an age where hyperconnectivity and misunderstanding coexist, thus begetting multiple crises, the need for a language bridging difference is palpable. Cross-cultural religious literacy (CCRL) has proof of concept in apartheid South Africa where, from danger, a multi-faith praxis navigated the anti-apartheid struggle and infused post-apartheid society with inclusion and dignity. In a Muslim world beset by its own demons—from within and without—can the equivalent emerge to rediscover Islam’s soft power? It will start necessarily as an informal and experiential pedagogy in a global cauldron requiring Muslims to be in covenantal pluralism—true to themselves, at peace with others.

Title: Faith Leaders and Child Well-Being in Bangladesh: An Empirical Study
Abstract:
The article examines four key areas affecting child well-being in Bangladesh: child marriage, violence against children, child education, and child health. The research for this article was conducted through fieldwork, including surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and expert consultations. Despite the prevailing perception that religion hinders progress, this article argues that social and economic factors play a more significant role as the primary drivers of children’s misfortunes. Nonetheless, Islamic values indirectly impact issues such as early marriage, co-education, physical punishment, and seeking gynecological services. The article emphasizes the need for further training of faith leaders to enable them to play nuanced roles in promoting children’s well-being on a larger scale in Bangladesh.

Title: Why the Secular Academy Needs Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy
Abstract:
I make the empirical argument that most of humankind and much of the academy practices one form of religion and/or spiritual practice. And yet, in public life, secularity is assumed and regularized as rational and life giving. Recent science shows the power of spirituality and religion for human flourishing. And yet, many secularists diminish religion and assume the worst about it without evidence. I argue that cross-cultural religious literacy (CCRL) is and can be an essential tool toward greater public understanding and a more productive dialogue between religionists and secularists in the academy and beyond.

Title: A Bridge Over Troubled Water: How Worldview Helps Overcome the Religious-Secular Divide in Development Cooperation and Beyond
Abstract:
As research has shown, collaboration between religious and non-religious actors in the context of international development is often difficult and limited. Though various barriers exist, mutual misunderstanding and prejudices appear to be the main reason for the religious-secular divide. This essay argues that this divide—both within the development sector and beyond—can be bridged more effectively by understanding religion in terms of “worldview.” As everyone holds a certain worldview, this concept challenges the current dichotomy and creates a more level playing field as starting point for dialogue. Problematic for the development sector, however, is the widespread equation of secularity with neutrality, and of neutrality with professionalism. The “professional identity” concept can help uncouple this connection.

Title: In Search of a Welcoming Environment for Religions in the “New Kazakhstan”
Abstract:
After experiencing first-hand the limitations of an exclusively activist, “name and shame” approach to advocating for religious freedom in Central Asia, I learned about a different, relational model of building religious freedom and covenantal pluralism, which was pioneered by the Institute for Global Engagement (IGE) in Southeast Asia. In this essay I tell the story of how my organization, Love Your Neighbor Community (LYNC), has applied the IGE model in Kazakhstan.

Title: Curating Buddhism, Fostering Diplomacy: The “Secrets of the Fallen Pagoda” Exhibition in Singapore
Abstract:
In 2014, Singapore’s Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM), in collaboration with the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and Shaanxi Cultural Heritage Promotion Center, organized the “Secrets of the Fallen Pagoda” exhibition in Singapore. The exhibition featured artefacts excavated from the Famen Temple, as well as objects excavated from other sites in Shaanxi province. This article draws on the case of ACM’s “Secrets of the Fallen Pagoda” exhibition to explore the use of Buddhist artefacts in the diplomacy between China and Singapore. It argues that the exhibition demonstrates the intersection between cultural and Buddhist diplomacy, highlighting how Buddhist cultural heritage was used as a platform to foster diplomatic ties between two secular countries with predominantly Buddhist and ethnic Chinese populations. While Buddhist material culture and history might have been used to highlight the shared cultural ties between China and Singapore, differing perceptions over the exhibition’s presentation provides ground for contemplating the varied meanings behind the use of religious objects in cultural diplomacy.

Title: Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy Education for Religious Freedom Progress in Vietnam
Abstract:
This essay discusses the author’s reflections on a recent convening at the Fetzer Institute on cross-cultural religious literacy (CCRL), and suggests that CCRL education in Vietnam should be pursued via a two-tiered model. Tier one is short-term training on CCRL capacity building for all parties involved in policy-making and implementation to address immediate needs. Tier two is long-term education on CCRL for the whole society through elementary schools and through an ongoing dialogue and process of reviewing and improving all religious policies.

Title: From Likelihood of Success to Likely Consequences
Abstract:
The trouble with Likelihood of Success is that it appears to be little more than a rehash of what seems obvious: do not go to war if you do not have much of a chance to win. Is this a distinctive or helpful contribution to contemporary just war thinking? I argue in this essay that while it might be better to simply jettison the term, some considerations of success are not just prudential in that narrow sense of the term. How we think of “success” and the likelihood of achieving it matters significantly to how we think about other elements of jus ad bellum. Success is not just about winning. It is about winning in the right way for the right end. Still, I suggest that it is not clear what “Likelihood of Success” does for those in political authority already inclined to think about war in any sort of rational and even moral way. I suggest we consider discarding Likelihood of Success and instead consider what I am calling “Likely Consequences.”

Title: Just War and Likelihood of Success: Wars of Necessity vs. Wars of Choice
Abstract:
This article makes an argument about the right place of the likelihood of success principle in just war thinking. Its analysis is grounded in a neoclassical reading of just war that is applied to the ongoing Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. The article starts with an exploration of the status of the likelihood of success principle in contemporary just war thinking. Noting that the difficulty of applying this principle has been pointed out by various thinkers, the chapter adapts the distinction between the so-called deontological and prudential just war principles found in neoclassical just war thinking. This distinction holds that the deontological principles hold primary importance within the logic of just war, and the prudential principles, including likelihood of success, are of secondary importance only. The article continues with an assessment of the practical implications of this distinction by applying it to two different types of warfare, namely so-called “wars of necessity” and “wars of choice.”

Title: When You Can’t Afford to Miss: Likelihood of Success and Discrimination in Cyberwarfare
Abstract:
Offense dominance in cyberspace is taken by many as a given. However, this is not a consensus position, with several scholars arguing that cyberattacks that produce meaningful kinetic effects on their prescribed targets are enormously costly and painstakingly slow. This poses an issue at the nexus of Just War Theory’s likelihood of success and discrimination doctrines. Initiating (or escalating) a conflict should only occur if the initiator has a reasonable likelihood of success. That success may be made more likely by overlooking the requirement that weapons be able to discriminate between targets and non-targets, especially under circumstances in which time is of the essence. Furthermore, even if non-target systems are not destroyed, their infection can facilitate the discovery of a cyberweapon, inspiring copycat weapons and attacks.

Title: What Should We Hope For? In Search of Reasonable Definitions of Success
Abstract:
The criterion of “reasonable likelihood of success” clearly depends on a reasonable definition of success. This article suggests three such definitions and discusses these in light of the great uncertainty that accompanies any use of this forward-looking just war criterion. The importance of thorough understanding and knowledge, both military and cultural, in order for the application of the reasonable likelihood criterion to be meaningful is also discussed.

Title: Introduction: Making Sense of “Likelihood of Success” in the Just War Tradition
Abstract:
This introduction to the special themed issue on likelihood of success in the just war tradition introduces the problems associated with this prudential jus ad bellum principle, and summarizes the key findings and arguments of the articles in the issue. It concludes that the likelihood of success must be understood organically and cohesively, within the larger tradition, with a special emphasis on the practical applications for justice to which the just war is dedicated.

Title: Humanitarian Success Post Bellum
Abstract:
The likelihood of success criterion makes armed humanitarian action politically and morally prohibitive. Yet, the just war tradition is designed to confront egregious moral evils. To help reconcile these tensions, this essay questions the applicability of the success principle to armed humanitarian intervention. This questioning provokes reflection on how the just war theory’s high threshold for success can rarely be achieved in the direct aftermath of humanitarian interventions. A low likelihood of success post bellum leads to the suggestion that the full demands of just war theory’s tranquilitas ordinis definition of peace ought not to be required in the aftermath of armed humanitarian intervention. Guaranteed failure may be a more useful criterion than likelihood of success for interventions aimed at ending acute state-sponsored human rights atrocities.

Title: Worse Things Than Losing: Underdogs Defining Likelihood of Success
Abstract:
This essay is a preliminary argument intended to provoke just war scholars to think more carefully and deeply about the criterion of likelihood of success. This is particularly appropriate at this moment in time as Taiwan is on high alert as it faces China, and as we watch the determination of Ukraine to defend itself from Russian aggression. Since the writing of this essay, the 9 million people of the state of Israel faced the horrific assault by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. If likelihood of success is prioritized over the primary jus ad bellum criteria, then many possible limited successes evaporate from creative strategy. Perhaps a better way of thinking about this is that we must be thoughtful in defining what we mean by “success.” Success need not be only immediate tactical or strategic victory, as tactical losses may result in strategic wins.

Title: Atomic Signaling: Exploring Likelihood of Success and Military Necessity through the Bargaining Model of War
Abstract:
Did the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II meet the military necessity and likelihood of success criteria of the Just War Theory? Many scholars and ethicists have argued that they did not. We examine the decision through the rationalist models of war preferred by international relations theorists. We introduce a simple version of the bargaining model of war and tease out its essential differences with the models of war (and, therefore, military necessity) used by most Just War Theorists. Then, we reconstruct the decision to drop the bomb on Japan, focusing especially on information states, preference sets, and operational realities, to show that, if the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki does not meet military necessity and likelihood of success criteria, no other kind of military activity can.

Title: Likelihood of Success, the Science of War, and the False Security of a Technical Principle
Abstract:
I argue that it may be time to abandon the likelihood of success principle, a relative newcomer to the just war tradition. First, I am unconvinced of the normative value of the concept, especially when applied to states participating in defensive wars. Second, and more pragmatically, our lack of knowledge about what determines the outcomes and durations of wars, the application of a scientific-sounding concept to what is essentially a judgment of art may distort our moral reasoning. Estimating the chance that a particular war (or use of force) will generate the outcomes one hopes for is fiendishly difficult, and to be accurate, requires a knowledge of military and political science that few theorists possess. In its current form, the likelihood of success principle serves to reify existing power disparities and to render defensive wars apparently illegitimate.

Title: Success in Battle—Failure in War
Abstract:
This essay addresses the likelihood of “success” in two dimensions: (1) success in war and (2) success on the battlefield. The terms “war” and “battle” are often used interchangeably and the men and women who won the battles are often told that the war was lost. As a polity discusses the Just War Tradition (JWT) in relationship to a forthcoming war, the term “success” is squishy, malleable, quantifiable only in comparative terms, and politically charged. The definition of battles is the win and loss of men, material, and moral. These can be measured. The two terms should not be used carelessly, and the relationship between the two needs to be more carefully considered.
