The UNESCO Chair on the Development of Inter- Religious Dialogue Studies in the Islamic World, Professor Hassan Nadhem presents a new book titled ‘Sectarian Conflict: Chapters on Concepts and History’. It focuses on historical moments where ancient sectarian struggles have progressed in severity. The book investigates causes that incited Sunni-Shia conflicts and their shift into violent extremism. It also examines the ways in which different sects have coexisted throughout history. Understanding the political dynamics of sectarian conflict and analysing the past, this book contributes indirectly towards the support of peace in the Middle East. The book is sponsored by Konrad Adenauer Stiftung.
