We are very pleased to announce the publication of our Religion, Security and Global Uncertainties report. This report examines the relationship between religion and security, including terrorism and so-called ‘religious violence’. It has two key objectives:
- To provide guidance on identifying circumstances in which religion (either on its own or in combination with other factors) is likely to give rise to security challenges.
- To provide a constructive interrogation of some under-explored assumptions relating to religion and security.
The report is informed by research conducted between October 2013 and January 2014, which included a series of interviews with academic researchers and roundtable discussions with MPs, public policy officers, journalists, Church Ministers, school head teachers and representatives of faith communities, local community organizations and NGOs.
