Church, State and Fostering Peace

Overview

Through a critical lens, this book examines the church's contribution to peace processes, assessing the effectiveness of its interventions. It analyzes the church's mediation role in the 1986 Mizoram Peace Accord. This distinctive role has made Mizoram's socio-political dynamics distinct from other Indian states. The church's influence extends beyond any other social organization, incorporating pressure groups and shaping the political environment. Despite a vast literature on Mizoram politics, this book offers new insights. Readers can gain valuable perspectives on effective peacebuilding strategies for regions grappling with insurgency.
