This book draws upon theory and theology to consider how religious institutions engage with post-conflict statebuilding and why they would choose to lend their resources to the endeavour. Drawing from the theologies of Roman Catholicism and Sunni Islam, Dragovic explores their possible motivations to engage alongside the international community.

Denis Dragovic lectures at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and is an international development expert having worked with various UN agencies and NGOs in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. He holds a PhD in political theology from the University of St Andrews, UK.
