Abstract

The book discusses the transformative role of religion in situations of violent conflict. It considers both the constructive and destructive sides of religious belief and particularly explores ways in which religion(s) may contribute to transforming conflict into peace. This volume analyses the role of religion in its current manifestations and provides alternative views of it. It is concerned with the role of religion as a source of conflict that often takes violent forms, thus contributing significantly to current problems. Attention also focuses on questions of peace from the perspective of the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. A number of essays actualize a vision for peace based on religion and situate visions for peace in the wider context of human security. All chapters consider the policy implications of the theoretical and practical perspectives offered on questions of conflict and peace. The most important documents that have emerged from a variety of religious groups, notably those represented in the book, outlining their view on issues of peace and human rights are collected here, showing how religious believers have engaged with questions similar to those suggested by the principles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Abstract

En octobre 1982, les évêques américains faisaient une entrée remarquée dans le débat sur la politique de défense. Non contents de rappeler les principes généraux de l'enseignement de l'Eglise, ils se livraient à une analyse minutieuse des stratégies et des systèmes d'armes dans un avant-projet de texte intitulé « Le défi de la paix ». De mois en mois, ils furent imités par une douzaine de conférences épiscopales. De quel droit, avec quelles justifications les évêques venaient-ils prendre part au débat public sur la politique de sécurité ? Ne dépassaient-ils pas par là largement leur champ de compétence ? En outre, comment se fait-il qu'en dépit de l'unité du moment et de la tradition éthique, ils aient, selon les pays, abouti à des conclusions sensiblement différentes sur la dissuasion nucléaire, la défense conventionnelle, la non-violence ou la forme de l'ordre international ? L'auteur a choisi de répondre à ces questions par l'analyse des textes français, américain et allemand, représentatifs de la diversité des sensibilités. Son étude minutieuse de leurs procédures d'élaboration et d'argumentation met en évidence les pressions de toutes origines – politique, sociologique, théologique, ecclésiale – qui en ont fait des documents aussi ambigus que novateurs. A partir de l'examen des positions particulières, elle pose la question du rapport de l'Eglise au pouvoir politique dans chaque contexte national. Le poids de l'histoire ne serait-il pas à la racine de bien des divergences dans les attitudes contemporaines de l'Eglise sur la défense ? Au-delà de l'analyse spécifique des contenus, cet ouvrage se veut un vigoureux plaidoyer pour une Eglise pluraliste et engagée, dans la ligne dessinée par Vatican II, au risque de devoir renoncer à l'autorité d'une parole unique.

Abstract

In recent years, peace psychology has grown from a utopian idea to a means of transforming societies worldwide. Yet at the same time peacebuilding enjoys global appeal, the diversity of nations and regions demands interventions reflecting local cultures and realities. Peace Psychology in Asia shows this process in action, emphasizing concepts and methods diverging from those common to the US and Europe. Using examples from China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and elsewhere in the region, chapter authors illuminate the complex social, political, and religious conditions that have fostered war, colonialism, dictatorships, and ethnic strife, and the equally intricate personal and collective psychologies that need to be developed to encourage reconciliation, forgiveness, justice, and community. Peace Psychology in Asia: Integrates psychology, history, political science, and local culture into concepts of peace and reconciliation. Highlights the indigenous aspects of peace psychology. Explains the critical relevance of local culture and history in peace work. Blends innovative theoretical material with empirical evidence supporting peace interventions. Balances its coverage among local, national, regional, and global contexts. Analyzes the potential of Asia as a model for world peace. As practice-driven as it is intellectually stimulating, Peace Psychology in Asia is vital reading for social and community psychologists, policy analysts, and researchers in psychology, sociology and international studies, including those looking to the region for ideas on peace work in non-Western countries.
