Religious Freedom in the European Union
This book contains the documentation from the 19th meeting of the European Consortium for Church and State Research, which was held in Nicosia, Cyprus on 15 - 18 November 2007. The aim of the conference was to provide an overview of the different legal ways in which the Member States of the European Union interpret in their domestic legal orders, the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights which relate to religious freedom.

Religious Rules, State Law, and Normative Pluralism - A Comparative Overview
This book is devoted to the study of the interplay between religious rules and State law.

The first part of the book contains a few contributions that place this discussion within the wider debate on legal pluralism. While State law and religious rules are two normative systems among many others, the specific characteristics of the latter are at the heart of tensions that emerge with increasing frequency in many countries. The second part is devoted to the analysis of about twenty national cases that provide an overview of the different tools and strategies that are employed to manage the relationship between State law and religious rules all over the world.
