In most such cases, religion has been used to incite extremism and to justify violence and exclusion. Perpetrators who seek to violently impose their \"order\" believe, or claim, that they are acting in accord with their religious and values. Scholars, peacemakers, Religious leaders, and Military officers explore peace initiatives and security managements. These rich, informative and path-breaking contributions in this book span the spectrum from the prevention of violence through peace initiatives and the analyses of the many complex historical, political, economic, demographic and ideological causes of violence to the role of traditional religions, and military intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShowing how religious leaders, scholars, peacekeepers, policy-makers, and military officers and others need to join their efforts in better understanding the intersections between religion and conflict, and to engage in shared missions focused on preventive actions and peace initiatives, \u003cem\u003eReligion in War and Peace in Africa\u003c\/em\u003e will be of great interest to scholars of military studies, African studies, peacekeeping, religion and conflict.
