Religion in Conflict and Peace Building

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Nov 09, 2018 | United States Institute of Peace

This guide by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) seeks to help peacebuilding practitioners integrate religion into conflict analysis and programme planning. The role of religion in conflict and peacebuilding is complex, but this need not be a barrier to religion-sensitive peacebuilding efforts. It conceptualizes religion in five interrelated dimensions - ideas, community, institutions, symbols and practices, and spirituality - and employs five steps of analysis: Self-reflection, understanding the context, conflict analysis, peacebuilding mapping, and turning analysis into action.
