Fear and Faith: Religion as an International Security Issue
Publisher:
Ohio State University. Mershon Center for International Security StudiesAbstract:
Since Sept. 11, it has become fashionable to talk of a “clash of
civilizations” between the West and Islam. The world may now be
standing on the brink of a long conflict, perhaps a new “cold war”
that features small-scale, but spectacular violence. Ole Waever argues that there is a real danger that the West
will once again see only what is wrong with the “other,” and will
be unable to discern the overall nature and pattern of the
conflict. In order to engage in constructive dialogue, he said, it is
crucial that we make an effort to understand what drives the
clash in the international arena and why both sides feel so
threatened by one another.
