Abrahamic
Alternatives to War: Jewish, Christian, and
Muslim Perspectives on Just Peacemaking |
| |
Eight Muslim scholar-leaders, six Jewish
scholar-leaders, and eight Christian
scholar-leaders met from June 13 to 15,
2007, in Stony Point, N.Y., at a conference
sponsored by the United States Institute of
Peace and the Churches’ Center for Theology
and Public Policy. Conference participants
specified practices within each of the three
faith traditions that could lay the
groundwork for nonviolent alternatives to
resolving conflict and addressing injustice,
while also identifying roadblocks in the
sacred texts of their traditions to creating
such processes.

Reconciliation
Strategies in Iraq |
| |
This report, which is a shortened version of
an unpublished working paper written for the
United States Institute of Peace in May
2007, examines effective processes of
relationship building and dispute
resolution, drawing upon the author’s three
years of experience working with Iraqis.
Informed by both Islamic and tribal customs,
the report presents a series of steps for
breaking out of a cycle of revenge. It also
presents elements of an effective
negotiation process with illustrations of
successful dispute resolution facilitated by
trained Iraqis.

U.S.-Pakistan
Engagement: The War on Terrorism and Beyond |
| |
The current U.S. engagement with Pakistan
may be focused on the war on terrorism, but
it is not confined to it. It also addresses
several other issues of concern to the
United States: national and global security,
terrorism, nuclear proliferation, economic
and strategic opportunities in South Asia,
democracy, and anti-Americanism in the
Muslim world.

Political Islam
in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Need for a New
Research and Diplomatic Agenda |
| |
Accelerating with the attacks of September
11, 2001, but extending back more than a
decade, studies of the growth of Islam as a
source of political mobilization have
proliferated, but few have examined
political Islam on the African subcontinent
or broadened the approach beyond
transnational terrorism. On July 9, 2004, a
conference of Africa experts from academia
and the U.S. foreign policymaking community
convened at the United States Institute of
Peace to begin an examination of this
shortcoming and its foreign-policy
implications.

Islamists at the
Ballot Box: Findings from Egypt, Jordan,
Kuwait, and Turkey |
| |
There is near-consensus among mainstream
Islamist leaders in key Arab countries and
Turkey on the value of democratic
participation—that is, contestation for
power via competitive elections. A number of
Islamist groups in the Arab world and Turkey
have registered as political parties and
participated in elections.
