This study examines the conditions for negotiated settlements. Utilising unique data on the religious demands and identities of the primary parties, all intrastate conflict-dyads in the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, 1989-2003, are examined. The study finds that if governments or rebel groups have made explicit religious claims, these conflictdyads are less likely than others to be terminated through negotiated settlement. By contrast, whether the primary parties come from different religious traditions does not affect the chances for negotiated settlement.Pages: 28engWith permission of the license/copyright holderconflictreligionPolitical ethicsCultural ethicsReligious ethicsCommunity ethicsPeace ethicsBook
