Reviews

The interdisciplinary nature of the collection, which brings together scholars from law, international relations, politics, and religion, as well as leading practitioners and policy makers, adds a distinctive depth and vision to the work. The volume could not be more timely. - Dr. Ruth Ragovin, Lector, The Edwin Mellen Press
