A Test of Faith?
Issues of religious diversity in the workplace have become very topical and have been raised before domestic courts and the European Court of Human Rights. Examining the controversial and constantly evolving position of religion in the workplace, this collection brings together chapters by legal and social science scholars and provides a wealth of information on legal responses across Europe, Turkey and the United States to conflicts between professional and religious obligations involving employees and employers. The contributors examine how case law from the European Court of Human Rights, domestic experiences and comparative analyses can indicate trends and reveal established and innovative approaches. This multi-perspective volume will be relevant for legal practitioners, researchers, academics and policy-makers interested in human rights law, discrimination law, labour law and the intersection of law and religion.
The Experiences of Face Veil Wearers in Europe and the Law

Equal Citizenship and Its Limits in EU Law
The research monograph Equal Citizenship and Its Limits in EU Law: We the Burden? is a critical study of the scope of EU citizenship as an 'equal status' of all Member State nationals. The book re-conceptualises the relationship between the status of EU citizenship and EU citizens' fundamental right to equal treatment by asking what indicates the presence of agency in EU law. A thorough analysis of the case-law is used to support the argument that the present view of active citizenship in EU law fails to explain how EU citizens should be treated in relation to one another and what counts as 'related' for the purposes of equal treatment in a transnational context. In addressing these question...
(On)gewenste immigratie?
Dit boek beschrijft het ontstaan van het Belgisch beleid inzake gezinshereniging en de evolutie ervan tot 1980. Gezinshereniging betekent dat een buitenlander die in België verblijft, zich laat vervoegen door zijn gezin. Meestal wordt die hereniging voorgesteld als een praktijk van na de arbeidsimmigratiestop van 1974. Het is inderdaad in de jaren 1970 dat migratie om familiale redenen de belangrijkste vorm van immigratie in België wordt, maar het fenomeen bestaat al sinds het einde van de jaren 1920. Ook voor de jaren 1970 beïnvloedde gezinshereniging het migratiebeleid en kon ze zelfs voor problemen zorgen, zoals blijkt uit dit boek. Deze publicatie is de eerste historische monografie over gezinshereniging in België. Ze besteedt bijzondere aandacht aan de totstandkoming van het beleid, aan de actoren en factoren die daarop een invloed hadden en aan de problematisering van de gezinshereniging. Bovendien worden de historische ontwikkelingen geplaatst tegenover het hedendaagse kader. Dit werk werd bekroond met de Prijs 2013 van GCIS – Fethullah Gülen Chair for Intercultural Studies.

The Burqa Affair Across Europe
In recent years, the wearing of the full-face veil or burqa/niqab has proved a controversial issue in many multi-cultural European societies. Focussing on the socio-legal and human rights angle, this volume provides a useful comparative perspective on how the issue has been dealt with across a range of European states as well as at European institutional level. In so doing, the work draws a theoretical framework for the place of religion between public and private space. With contributions from leading experts from law, sociology and politics, the book presents a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to one of the most contentious and symbolic issues of recent times.
Family, Religion and Law
This collection discusses how official legal systems do and should respond to the reality of a plurality of family types and origins within their jurisdictions. It further examines the challenges that arise for practitioners, including lawyers and judges, when faced with such plurality. Focussing on empirical research, the volume presents legal and sociological data of unprecedented comparative depth. It also includes a discussion of how members of minority families respond to the need to organise their legal relationships, and to resolve their disputes in the shadow of official legal systems which differ from those of their familial and communal traditions. The work invites reflection, and demonstrates the urgency and complexity of the questions regarding the search for justice in the field of family life in Europe today.
Belief, Law and Politics
This edited collection gathers together the principal findings of the three-year RELIGARE project, which dealt with the question of religious and philosophical diversity in European law. Specifically, it covers four spheres of public policy and legislation where the pressure to accommodate religious diversity has been most strongly felt in Europe: employment, family life, use of public space and state support mechanisms. Embracing a forward-looking approach, the final RELIGARE report provides recommendations to governance units at the local, national and European levels regarding issues of religious pluralism and secularism. This volume adds context and critique to those recommendations and more generally opens an intellectual discussion on the topic of religion in the European Union. The book consists of two main parts: the first includes the principal findings of the RELIGARE research project, while the second is a compilation of 28 short contributions from influential scholars, legal practitioners, policy makers and activists who respond to the report and offer their views on the sensitive issue of religious diversity and the law in Europe.
Public Funding of Religions in Europe
This collection brings together legal scholars, canonists and political scientists to focus on the issue of public funding in support of religious activities and institutions in Europe. The study looks at the various mechanisms put in place by the domestic legal systems, as well as those resulting from the European law of human rights and the law of the European Union, and then goes on to look at state support and particular religious groups. This collection is essential reading for those studying law and religion, with particular focus on the countries of the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Turkey.
Religion in Public Spaces
This timely volume discusses the much debated and controversial subject of the presence of religion in the public sphere. The book is divided in three sections. In the first the public/private distinction is studied mainly from a theoretical point of view, through the contributions of lawyers, philosophers and sociologists. In the following sections their proposals are tested through the analysis of two case studies, religious dress codes and places of worship. These sections include discussions on some of the most controversial recent cases from around Europe with contributions from some of the leading experts in the area of law and religion. Covering a range of very different European coun...
