Vladimir Putin is not just involved in a violent land grab. He believes he's fighting his own holy war to restore the ancient territory of the 'Holy Rus,' with the Ukrainian capital Kyiv as the 'Third Rome.'
Vladimir Putin has long styled himself as a defender of Christian values. But his idea of the Russian Orthodox faith as a global political force has a lot in common with the Islamic concept of the Ummah – the worldwide community of believers.

What happens when foreigners join a fight and a region is flooded with arms that cannot be traced?; What does the Russia-Ukraine war reveal about the breakdown of human rights law over the past 20 years?; and why Putin believes he's fighting a holy war.

Award-winning journalist Stan Grant takes us through the world on September 10, 2001. After the collapse of the World Trade Centre on 9/11 what fractures appeared across the Islamic world, and how did the terrorist attack turbo-charge nationalism in Europe and the U.S.? Then we hear from artist Abdul Abdullah on how the events of 9/11 shaped his identity as a Muslim in Australia.
How will the next generation of leaders, especially those formed in a liberal western environment, understand this emerging world?
This session of the fourth annual RPP Colloquium Series explores some of the key challenges that nonviolent resistance movements face, including obstacles to building and maintaining movement cohesion, ensuring effective communication, and gaining political leverage; how advocates of principled nonviolence (who promote nonviolence on a moral basis) often clash with advocates of civil resistance (who promote nonviolent action on a strategic or utilitarian basis); the ongoing debate on diversity of tactics; and the ways in which power and privilege undermine solidarity. The colloquium highlights the power of women in these movements and addresses ways in which spiritually-engaged communities are well-positioned to address many of these key movement challenges. It features Erica Chenoweth, PhD, Professor and Associate Dean for Research at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver and Fellow, One Earth Future Foundation; and moderator and respondent Jocelyne Cesari, PhD, Professor and Chair of Religion and Politics at the University of Birmingham, UK, Senior Research Fellow at Georgetown University’s Berkley Center on Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, Professorial Fellow at the Institute for Religion, Politics, and Society at the Australian Catholic University, and Visiting Professor of Religion and Politics at Harvard Divinity School.

December 6, 2017 | In their latest book Islam, Gender, and Democracy in Comparative Perspective (2017), contributors Jocelyne Cesari, José Casanova, and Katherine Marshall attempt to reframe the debate around Islam and women's rights within a broader perspective that challenges the often portrayed binary opposition between liberal advocates of secular democracy and Muslim religious opponents of of women's full equality. Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines, the book's essays examine the complex and contingent historical relationships between religion, secularism, democracy, law, and gender equality in Muslim-majority countries as well as in minority contexts. Azza Karam, senior advisor on culture and social development at the United Nations Population Fund, joined the three authors for this book discussion.
October 23, 2014 | Since the Arab Awakening, the question of women's rights has become, in the view of Western commentators, the litmus test for Muslim societies in the age of democracy and liberalism. The issue is often framed as the opposition between liberal advocates of secular democracy and religious opponents of women's full equality. A panel of scholars, including the Berkley Center's José Casanova and Jocelyne Cesari, will examine this binary opposition and reframe the debate around Islam and women's rights. Participants will provide a broader comparison across religious traditions and cultures through a discussion of religion, secularism, democracy, and gender equality in France, Iran, Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt, and the United States. This event is cosponsored by the Berkley Center and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security.
In his latest book, The Paradox of Liberation: Secular Revolutions and Religious Counterrevolutions, Michael Walzer asks why leaders and militants of secular liberation have not been able to consolidate their achievement and reproduce themselves in successive generations. On the backdrop of the Arab Awakening and the growth of religiously based political groups in secular countries like Tunisia, Turkey, and Pakistan, this question is more acute than ever. Based on her book The Awakening of the Muslim Democracy: Religion, Modernity and the State, Jocelyne Cesari engaged in a discussion with Michael Walzer and José Casanova to discuss the role of religion in nation-building and the nature of religious nationalism in the post-Cold War era. Casanova shared expert insight on the characteristics of the secular/religious divide in today's politics.
Yesterday, POMEPS held a dynamic conversation with Nathan Brown about his latest book— out this week— Arguing Islam after the Revival of Arab Politics. Brown was joined by Jocelyne Cesari, a senior fellow at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and associate professor of the practice of religion, peace, and conflict resolution in Georgetown’s Department of Government, and Peter Mandaville, a senior advisor to the special representative for religion and global affairs at the U.S. Department of State. Brown spoke about the current state of Arab politics: "The polarization that has set in is partially a result of [mobilizing your followers]. There are few points at which, the vital public argumentation actually changes from abstract argumentation about what should be done to concrete political processes that produce political outcomes. And so people remain very strongly in their own camps. The polarization we see so deeply entrenched in the Arab world from that way is therefore may not be so much the disease as the symptom. That is to say, not so much the cause but is as an effect very much of political systems that have opened themselves up to political debate, but not given very healthy ways in which to translate political debate into political outcomes."
Dr. Marc Gopin presents “The Ethical and Spiritual Foundations of Judaic Conflict Resolution Practice and Peacebuilding: A Thirty Year Journey.” Dr. Elizabeth H. Prodromou presents “Orthodox Christianity, Humanitarianism, and Peacebuilding: Crisis, Sustainability, Human Security." Jocelyne Cesari mediates the conversation.
