• Foreword Introduction. From Spaces of Tension, to Spaces of Conversation: Freedom of Religion and Belief and National Security PART I: RELIGION, SECURITY, AND THEOLOGY 1. Doubtful Civil Belief: Or, Tolerating One’s Damned Neighbours with Jean-Jacques Rousseau 2. Religious Freedom, Human Security, and Human Fraternity: Is Religious Freedom a Forgotten Freedom within the Human Security Framework? PART II: RELIGION, SECURITY, AND GEOPOLITICS 3. The International Protection of Freedom of Religion or Belief in the Context of Counter-Terrorism 4. Religion as a Matter of U.S. National (In)Security? 5. New Religious Legislation in Ukraine as a Response to Russian Aggression PART III: RELIGION, SECURITY, AND IDENTITIES 6. Towards Resolving the Conflict between National and Muslim Identities in Nigeria 7. Rejecting Security: A Comparative Analysis of the Rejection of Security, Public Safety and Public Order Concerns as a Ground for Restricting Freedom of Religion in Religious Dress Cases 8. Religion-based Boundaries: Restricting Pluralism through Symbolic Barriers 9. Religion, Citizenship Revocation, and Foreign Combatant Laws: The Illiberal Turn Conclusion. Freedom of Religion as Shield, Sword, and Contributor in Relation to National Security

“Security, Religion, and the Rule of Law: International Perspectives offers a multidisciplinary and multidimensional analysis of relationships between the paradigms of national security and freedom of religion. Employing rigorous argument through overarching chapters and a selection of case studies, the authors signal moves towards a positive understanding of the potential of freedom of religion to function as a healing mechanism in fractured polities, contextualising and undermining simplistic perceptions of religion as a threat to national and international security. This ‘flipping of the coin’ of voguishly negative discourse on the role of religion in society is important, overdue, and deserving of the widest readership.”Patrick Thornberry CMG, Emeritus Professor of International Law at Keele University, UK, and Fellow of Kellogg College, University of Oxford, UK
