Religion plays a role in many of today’s conflicts. Less clear is what exactly that role is, making it difficult to recommend how exactly efforts to end these conflicts should take religion into account. The Culture and Religion in Mediation Program (CARIM) at the Center for Security Studies (CSS) of the ETH Zurich aims to tackle this very challenge. CARIM explores the interplay between religion and politics in the context of conflict transformation and mediation. The program aims to help those working to address violent conflicts to better understand the role that religion plays and how to factor this into the work that they are doing.
