Freedom of Religion and Religious Diversity
Today, pluralism is increasingly the norm and can be seen as a permanent characteristic of modernity. As seen in world events, religion has not become irrelevant but more diverse, giving rise to a complex web of religion and belief minorities, together with intra-plural majorities. Nations seek ways to implement the ideal of freedom of religion, but as this book shows, whether East or West, in the global North or the South, there is no simple formalism for accommodating religious diversity. Different faith communities have competing needs and demands for the same social space, with tensions inevitably arising. This book highlights responses from liberal democracies which enshrine secularism ...
Religion and Equality
This volume presents an analysis of controversial events and issues shaping a rapidly changing international legal, political, and social landscape. Leading scholars and experts in law, religious studies and international relations, thoughtfully consider issues and tensions arising in contemporary debates over religion and equality in many parts of the world. The book is in two parts. The first section focuses on the anti-discrimination dimension of religious freedom norms, examining the developing law on equality and human rights and how it operates at international and national levels. The second section provides a series of case studies exploring the contemporary issue of same-sex marriage and how it affects religious groups and believers. This collection will be of interest to academics and scholars of law, religious studies, political science, and sociology, as well as policymakers and legal practitioners.
Presence of the Cross in Public Spaces
The judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Lautsi vs. Italy (3 November 2009 and 18 March 2011) served as a catalyst for the debate on the presence of the cross in the public space in a number of European states. What are the effects of this debate? What is the meaning attributed to so-called negative religious freedom viewed in relation to the right to manifest religion and protect tradition and culture? Answers to these and related questions are provided in this volume by experienced contributors, who adopt diversified research perspectives and viewpoints. The analyses presented here concern not only the established democracies of Western Europe, but also post-communist states. Owing to the multifaceted approach thus offered, the book will prove to be helpful in distinguishing the implications of respect for the freedom of thought, conscience and religion from the consequences of diversified constitutional norms adopted in individual states, and also from subjective expectations.
Creating Europe from the Margins
This edited volume explores the idea of Europe through a focus on its margins. The chapters in the volume inquire critically into the relations and tensions inherent in divisions between the Global North and the Global South as well as internal regional differentiation within Europe itself. In doing so, the volume stresses the need to consider Europe from critical interdisciplinary perspectives, highlighting historical and contemporary issues of racism and colonialism. While recent discussions of migration into ‘Fortress Europe’ seem to assume that Europe has clearly demarcated geographic, political and cultural boundaries, this book argues that the reality is more complex. The book expl...
The Memorialization of Genocide
Divided societies, tormented pasts, and unrepentant perpetrators. Why are some countries more intent on vanquishing uncomfortable pasts than others? How do public and often unsightly attempts at memorialisation both fail the victims and valorize their oppressors? This book offers fresh and original perspectives on dictatorship, fascism and victimization from the bloodiest decades in Europe’s, Australia’s and Central America’s colonial and modern history. Chapters include analyses of Francoist memorials in Spain, assessments of the El Mozote massacre in El Salvador, the forgetting of frontier colonial violence in Tasmania, Romania’s treatment of its Roma populations in the midst of Ho...
Idelogías y creencias en la formación del derecho en un contexto global
"¿Qué función están desempeñando las ideologías y las creencias en la formación del Derecho en un mundo cada vez más global? ¿Han suplantado definitivamente las ideologías a las creencias en esta función? ¿Quién ofrece valores o contenidos éticos al Derecho? Estos son algunos de los interrogantes a los que pretende ofrecer respuesta el libro que el lector tiene en sus manos. Los efectos de la progresiva secularización de nuestras sociedades –o, al menos, de las occidentales-, junto con los movimientos de población que se presentan cada vez más intensos, permiten considerar que una de las características de la globalización consiste en el constante aumento del pluralismo ...

Religionsunterricht an öffentlichen Schulen in Spanien und Deutschland
English summary: Religious education is expressly written into the German constitution and Spanish law. In practise, who can claim a right of religious education and how can this right be insured for all religions (such as Islam)? With an eye toward Spain, Sarah Messinger reports on new solutions. German description: Religionsunterricht an offentlichen Schulen ist nicht nur im deutschen Grundgesetz ausdrucklich festgeschrieben, sondern auch im spanischen Recht. In beiden Landern stellt sich die Frage, wem ein Recht auf Religionsunterricht zusteht, was dieses Recht umfasst und wo moglicherweise Grenzen zu ziehen sind, d.h. beispielsweise welche religiosen Inhalte nicht unterrichtet werden dur...
