{"title":"The Contribution of Religion to Social Reconciliation: A Case Study of Liberia","authors":"Lucie Judith Sewe","doi":"10.15640/JGPC.V6N2A1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15640/JGPC.V6N2A1","url":null,"abstract":"Religion, has, in the recent past, become a key factor in matters of conflict and reconciliation. In several cases, followers of different religions and political leaders across the world, have manipulated religion to pursue hidden goals. In the process, religion is misinterpreted and undermined, in some cases, leading to further conflict. This paper has two objectives. First, to articulate the convergence between various religions, focusing on Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism and the value addedto social reconciliation. Secondly, the paper presents an account of a women-led interdenominational group which was established primarily to fight for political liberation in Liberia. This was after several years of political repression and human suffering under the dictatorial President, Charles Taylor, who had come into power in a coup in 1989, in a country that was highly divided by rebel factions. Liberia presents one of the fairly successful liberation processes in Africa wherewomenrose above their religious boundaries to collectively fight for a common objective. The groupportrayed religion as the universal custodian of morals with the legitimate authority to promote reconciliation. They staged sit-ins, prayed, sang and cried for peaceas they demanded an election. Taylor finally succumbed to pressure and agreed to attend the peace talks with the rebels, bringing conflict to an end. The most dramatic change was the election of a female president, Ellen Johnson.","PeriodicalId":400722,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GLOBAL PEACE AND CONFLICT","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115409442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Egyptian-Saudi Relations between Short-lived Honeymoon and Radical Strategic Shifts","authors":"A. Arafat","doi":"10.15640/jgpc.v7n1a2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15640/jgpc.v7n1a2","url":null,"abstract":"This paper is not an attempt to trace Saudi-Egyptian relations, but rather is an attempt to answer the very central question: how ideological orientations do affect the relations between the two countries.This paper argues that four interlinked variables affected Saudi-Egyptian relations almost throughout the last seven years. First, the centralization of Iranian threat in Saudi-Egyptian relations after the downfall of Mubarak. Second is the rise of the MB as a key political actor in post-Mubarak Egypt. Third, the rise of Qatar influence in Egypt. Finally and almost the most important, the change in the Saudi strategic priorities and foreign policy doctrine after King Salman received power in 2015.This paper argues that Saudi-Egyptian relations need comprehensive reconsideration and reestablishment based on the new realities and threats of the region and the two countries mutual strategic interests. Structurally, this paper is divided into two parts, besides the theoretical framework. The first part, \"A Short-lived Honeymoon: Egyptian-Saudi Relations under King Abdullah\", explores the relations between the two countries from 2011 to January 2015. The second part, \"Radical Strategic Shifts: Egyptian-Saudi Relations under King Salman\", explores the relations between the two countries from 2015 to 2017.","PeriodicalId":400722,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GLOBAL PEACE AND CONFLICT","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122347018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
