Interreligious Dialogue and Foreign Policy: Wishful thinking or visionary realism?

 

This public roundtable hosted together with the European Academy of Religion concludes the closed-door policy dialogue of the ‘Religions in International Relations’ Initiative of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ISPI convened this year to discuss the growing international policy attention on interreligious dialogue and collaboration as tools to combat intolerance and discriminations and to strengthen peace building. The roundtable offers the opportunity to reflect, in dialogue with the broader community of scholars convened by the conference, on how and why we got to the point where a policy-oriented discussion on interreligious dialogue and foreign policy become possible and, some would contend, even necessary? Is not interreligious dialogue a matter only for religious leaders and theologians? Is perhaps the nature of interreligious engagement changing in the 21st century? Should religious and interreligious actors be welcome at the leading global policy tables? Is interreligious dialogue only wishful thinking, a feel-good rhetoric completely inadequate to face the many challenges, tensions and conflicts of our global era? Is there not a risk of instrumentalising religion beyond its legitimate and authentic role? Or, perhaps, is this new postsecular orientation crucial to a new visionary realism capable of finding innovative ways out of the current crises?
