This publication is a compilation of studies on religious instruction in state schools. As Europe goes through a "social revolution" with the influence of the church and religious instruction in state schools being opened to discussion, this book describes the diversity between states and analyzes the legislative basis of religious instruction in various countries. The comparative analyses will be of value to researchers in educational research and to educational policymakers.
This book focuses on the financing of religions, examining some European church-state models, using a philosophical methodology. The work defends autonomy-based liberalism and elaborates how this liberalism can meet the requirements of liberal neutrality. The chapters also explore religious education and the financing of institutionalized religion. This volume collates the work of top scholars in the field.

Cathy Byrne presents the secular principle as a guiding compass for religion in government schools in plural democracies. Using in-depth case studies, historical and contextual research from Australia, and comparisons with other developed nations, Religion in Secular Education provides a comprehensive, at times confronting, analysis of the ideologies, policies, pedagogies, and practices for state-school religion. In the context of rising demands for students to develop intercultural competence and interreligious literacy, and alongside increasing Christian evangelism in the public arena, this book highlights risks and implications as education develops religious identity – in individual children and in nation states. Byrne proposes a best practice framework for nations attempting to navigate towards socially inclusive outcomes and critical thinking in religions education policy.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
La Ley 19/2013, de 9 de diciembre, de transparencia, acceso a la información pública y buen gobierno (LTE) tiene un ámbito subjetivo de aplicación muy amplio, que incorpora no solo a la Administración pública y a otros sujetos públicos, sino también a diversas entidades de naturaleza privada que tienen una especial conexión con la Administración. El presente trabajo estudia el derecho de acceso a la información que los ciudadanos pueden ejercer frente a las entidades privadas del sector público, las corporaciones de derecho público o los sujetos puramente privados que prestan servicios públicos, ejercen potestades administrativas o celebran contratos con el sector público. Se analizan tanto las razones que justifican la sujeción de cada una de estas entidades a la transparencia como el alcance del derecho de acceso a la información que tienen en su poder, a la luz de la copiosa doctrina jurisprudencial, del Consejo de Transparencia y Buen Gobierno y de sus homólogos autonómicos emanada desde la aprobación de la LTE.
