Using Northern Ireland as a theory-building case and citing declarations and speeches over more than 40 years, Professor Nukhet Sandal's book, Religious Leaders and Conflict Transformation: Northern Ireland and Beyond, introduces a new theoretical perspective that recognizes religious actors' agency. Sandal illustrates religious actors making an impact on public opinion and policymaking.
