Ron Hassner is a Professor of Political Science at University of California, Berkeley. He holds a Chancellor’s Chair in Political Science and is the Helen Diller Family Chair in Israel Studies at Berkeley[1][2]. His research focuses on religion and conflict, especially conflicts over sacred places, religion in the military, as well as on territorial disputes and interrogational torture. He is a faculty director of the Berkeley Institute for Jewish Law and Israel Studies.[3] Hassner is a recipient of Berkeley’s campus-wide “Distinguished Teaching Award”[4].
Work
Hassner’s initial research focused on religion as a cause of war. In War on Sacred Grounds [5] he argued that conflicts over holy places are difficult to resolve because these sites pose an indivisibility problem: they cannot be shared or divided the way other pieces of land are often shared to resolve conflict[6][7]. The Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the Great Mosque of Mecca function as key case studies as do contested shrines in India[8].
His work subsequently shifted to analyzing religion as a factor during war, including such wars in which religion is not a motivator. In Religion in the Military Worldwide[9] he commissioned essays on the many ways in which religion shapes military service around the world, including countries like Canada, Turkey, Japan, and Iran. In Religion on the Battlefield[10] Hassner looks at the effects of religion on tactics and strategy. The focus here is on wars in which religion did not necessarily play a motivating role, to show that even in crucial military settings (such as World War I and World War II) religion enabled and constrained military decision making[11][12].
