Ethno-confessional, ethnopolitical, racial, and religious wars are the various manifestations of a social crisis, characterized by conflicts between individual strata of the population or groups of people and the state. These conflicts arise from cultural and religious differences, leading individuals to determine their position in society based on traditional and religious values. The number, role, and importance of ethnopolitical and ethnoconfessional crises in the modern world are subject to numerous fluctuations, including globalization, the transition from global to regional conflicts, the surge in information availability, including disinformation or illiteracy, and manipulations by interested circles. Such conflicts often manipulate public consciousness, leading to social disintegration and hindering the harmonious development of countries, posing threats to national security.

A comprehensive approach is necessary to address the problem of religious and ethnic conflicts in the modern world. These conflicts impact numerous countries, and resolving them based on religious and ethnic contradictions is a challenging and time-consuming process. Under certain conditions, religious conflicts can manifest as expressions of class, state, interethnic contradictions, and state confrontations. Religion and ethnicity influence various social strata and groups, making the issue relevant to study the processes occurring within religious environments and their relationships with the state and society.

This book aims to explore civil position and identity, conflict preconditions, the initiation of conflict, its development, and the strategies employed to manage and resolve these conflicts. By examining these aspects, the book seeks to provide insights into the complex dynamics of religious and ethnic conflicts and their implications for peace and stability in the modern world.
