“…During the religious conflict in Special Region of Yogyakarta, the provocateur is a society that has a high militancy and is generally the Islamic society such as FUI (Muslims Forum), FJI (Islamic Defenders Front), FPI and others. This excessive focus on conflict and violence has brought heavy criticism by scholars who argue that religion is equally a guarantor of social peace (Odoemene, 2012).…”

The researcher analyzed the conflict dynamic framework of religious conflict issues in the Special Region of Yogyakarta in 2014-2017. The research used qualitative descriptive research. Data collection techniques were primary data through interviews, observations, and secondary data through literature studies. Data analysis included data reduction, presentation, and verification. The results show that the conflict escalation degree in these past three years commonly is at the mass mobilization. Public-influencing religious and social figures successfully de-escalate it. Moreover, structural factors are triggered by education and policy of house of worship building, religious preaching, and exclusiveness. Those are also accelerated by society’s aggressiveness. Actors of conflict, in this case, are probably mass organizations and migrant communities. The related government agencies to resolve the conflict, and active participation from religious leaders, public figures, police, military, Ministry of Religious Affairs, Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU - General Elections Commission of Indonesia), and Badan Pengawas Pemilihan Umum (Bawaslu - Election Supervisory Board of Indonesia) are proven to have capacity to settle the issue.

This article analyzes the role of the Justice and Peace Commission (JPC) of the Archdiocese of Bamenda in the management and prevention of inter-ethnic conflicts in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. It demonstrates that the active participation of this institution in peacebuilding is marked by partial success. There is much belief in the capacity of faith-based institutions to manage conflicts. However, evidence on the role of this Catholic Commission in terms of engagement and mediation in peacebuilding among warring ethnic communities is not encouraging. While its dialogue approach has significantly checked violence, its Peace Education Programme has failed to build an entrenched culture of peace. It operates in a context of significant obstacles and direly needs to beef up its operations.

“…In recent decades, this excessive focus on instances of conflict and violence has been brought under heavy criticism by scholars who argue that religion is equally a guarantor of societal peace (Bercovitch and Kadayifci-Orellana 2009;Odoemene 2012). These scholars have sought for decades now to understand how religion has interacted with peace through the lens of faith-based organizations.…”
