Description: Security Religion and the Rule of Law argues that true substantive and sustainable national security is only possible through respect for the rule of law human rights and religious freedom. Despite the emphasis on national security and the war on terror that has preoccupied governments for over two decades nations and the world seem to be more divided than ever with a concomitant impact of increasing the risk of terrorism and religious and political violence. The national security paradigm previously reserved primarily for foreign threats has been turned increasingly inwards focusing on a state's own citizens as potential threats. This is often along religious lines threatening fundamental human freedoms. This book provides a series of critical engagements on some of the most pressing issues at the interface of religion and security today including proposing a deeper engagement with theology when dealing with freedom of religious belief exploring a better understanding between domestic peace and international relations abiding by the rule of law while countering terrorism and developing a broader understanding of identities and of the nature of citizenship. It provides the resources to further reflect upon and address these topics as well as stimulate further discussions on religion and security matters across a range of different disciplines. Wide - ranging case studies consider Australia China Europe the Kurdish people Nigeria Russia Ukraine the United Nations and the United States. This book will appeal to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including international relations law philosophy political science religious studies security studies and theology. It will also appeal to human rights lawyers judges NGO researchers governmental agency specialists and policy makers.
