Book Review: Religion and Human Security: A Global Perspective Edited by James K. Wellman, Jr. And Clark B. Lombardi

Abstract

Religion and Human Security: A Global Perspective edited by James K. Wellman, Jr. and Clark B. Lombardi embarks on an ambitious project to understand the "importance of religion to the human security situation around the world" through a series of case studies and to "provide lessons for policymakers as they think about how to develop security-promotion policies" (Wellman and Lombardi 2012). This project is timely given the "recent global religious revival" as well as increased proliferation of global conflict.

Keywords: Law and Religion, Human Security, Global Law and Governance, Conflict Resolution
