The contributors to the volume come from a variety of cultural, political and religious backgrounds, whose common interest is in support of dialogue for peace and security for all parties involved. Redefining security during times of crisis is a difficult, albeit necessary undertaking. This book envisages new concepts, policies and discourses about security at a time when it has become clear the old ones have become stagnant. The contributors offer no singular approach, but suggest a broader and more inclusive terrain for discussion, debate and analysis of the possibilities and constraints for understanding conflict and conflict resolution in the region. -- Cover ER -
