The Fusion Between Religious Claims and Nationalism in Comparative Perspective Implications for Conflict Dynamics

Open to the Public

Join us on Thursday, March 31st and Friday, April 1st, as we examine the effects of the fusion of religious claims and nationalism on the dynamics of conflict, with special attention to legitimation and the moral architecture of violence. Panels will discuss the range of manifestations in which religious claims can penetrate, reconstruct, promote, overcome, and/or challenge nationalism and the diversities of these fusions.  The conference hosts international scholars who will examine the cases of India, Ireland, Israel, Palestine, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the former Yugoslavia. Discussions will also assist us in considering possible policy recommendations.
