Identifying the principle aims of the multifaith movement, the analysis explores the benefits—and challenges—of multifaith engagement, as well as the effectiveness of multifaith initiatives in countering the process of radicalization. Building on notions of cosmopolitanism, thework proposes a new theoretical framework termed ‘Netpeace’, which recognizes the interconnectedness of global problems and their solutions.
