Faith-Based Diplomacy and Preventive Engagement
How religion is once again becoming a significant factor defies one of the most controversial theses in social science, which holds that modernization would cause religious influence to be minimal. Auguste Comte, a philosopher of the eighteenth century, predicted that religion would someday serve as a basis for moral judgment. When modernization is seen in terms of religion, we consider how a modern and rather secularized life perspective poses a…

The modern world is being torn apart by two conflicting ideologies. American primacy attempts to secure the role of the U.S. as a global hegemon, spreading the ideasof free-market capitalism throughout the world. Global jihad strives to establish a world order based on fundamentalist understandings of Islam. A third way, known as faith-based reconciliation, is needed to prevent these two ideologies from colliding.Faith-based reconciliation incorp…

Faith-Based Diplomacy
Faith-based diplomacy is often practiced by non-state actors, NGO workers, religious leaders, and private citizens. Its religious foundation is adept at solving issues secular diplomacy cannot understand. One example is the reconciliation associated with the Institute for Reconciliation in Srinagar, Kashmir. Faith-based diplomacy makes it possible to hold conversations about these concepts in a safe environment.

DESIGN--The study was based on national mortality and incidence data for the periods 1954-87 and 1954-86, respectively. An age-period-cohort model was used to estimate the contributions of age, time period, and birth cohort effects to the occurrence of cer…

Paying for change
The evolution and application of Section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966, are discussed, and the requirements for the receipt of grant are described. These include meeting criteria of additionality, ‘special need’ and consultation. Each of these creates particular problems for local authorities, whose services are normally determined by offices, guided by statute and responsible to local councillors. For these and other reasons, the policy ha…
