Book Synopsis Europäische Religionspolitik by : Ines-Jacqueline Werkner
Download or read book Europäische Religionspolitik written by Ines-Jacqueline Werkner and published by Springer-Verlag. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Europäische Union galt lange Zeit als rein säkulare politische Gemeinschaft, in der Religion nicht zu thematisieren sei. Mit der viel beschworenen Rückkehr der Religionen und der Idee der postsäkularen Gesellschaft stellt sich diese Frage ganz neu. Die verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit für die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Religion speist sich mittlerweile aber auch aus dem europäischen Integrationsprozess selbst. In dem Maße, wie sich die EU nicht mehr nur als wirtschaftliches Projekt versteht, sondern auch als politische Union und Wertegemeinschaft, kommt der Frage nach dem gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt Europas – gerade in wirtschaftlichen Krisenzeiten – eine wachsende Bedeutung zu. Diesen Wandel greift der Band auf. Er verfolgt einerseits die Frage einer gemeinsamen Identität in Europa und untersucht andererseits die konkreten religionspolitischen Konsequenzen, die sich mit dem Vertrag von Lissabon ergeben haben und nun die Religionspolitik der Europäischen Union und ihr Verhältnis zu den Mitgliedsländern wie zur internationalen Staatenwelt prägen.
Book Synopsis Politics of Religion in Western Europe by : François Foret
Download or read book Politics of Religion in Western Europe written by François Foret and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is becoming increasingly important to the study of political science and to re-examine key concepts, such as democracy, securitization, foreign policy analysis, and international relations. The secularization of Europe is often understood according to the concept of ‘multiple modernities’—the idea that there may be several roads to modernity, which do not all mean the eradication of religion. This framework provides support for the view that different traditions, societies and groups can come to terms with the components of modernity (capitalism, democracy, human rights, science and reason) while keeping in touch with their religious background, faith and practice. Contributors examine the interaction between EU-integration processes and Western European countries, such as Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Austria, Scandinavia, Italy, and the UK, and shine fresh light on the economic and cultural contexts brought about by relationships between politics and religion, including immigrant religions and new religious movements. This volume combines theoretical perspectives from political sociology and international relations to consider the role of religion as a source of power, identity and ethics in institutions and societies. Politics of Religion in Western Europe will be of interest to scholars of politics, religion, the European Union and political sociology.
Book Synopsis Religion and Politics by : Johann P. Arnason
Download or read book Religion and Politics written by Johann P. Arnason and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining theoretical and empirical research, these 12 essays examine the role of religion and its prospects in Europe. On the one hand, the volume discusses growing Islamic presence in Europe as a reminder of enduring religious pluralism, not least in view of the high prominence given to Islamic experience in arguments against over-generalised notions of secularisation. On the other hand, it explores the question of Christian motivated extremism and religious nationalism. Against this background, the contributors discuss the role of religion in other countries throughout the world including China, Japan, Russia and the MENA region.
Book Synopsis Religion and the Public Order of the European Union by : Ronan McCrea
Download or read book Religion and the Public Order of the European Union written by Ronan McCrea and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ronan McCrea offers the first comprehensive account of the role of religion within the public order of the European Union. He examines the facilitation and protection of individual and institutional religious freedom in EU law and the means through which the Union facilitates religious input and influence over law. Identifying the limitations on religious influence over law and politics that have been required by the Union, it demonstrates how such limitations have been identified as fundamental elements of the public order and prerequisites EU membership. The Union seeks to balance its predominantly Christian religious heritage with an equally strong secular and humanist by facilitating religion as a form of cultural identity while simultaneously limiting its political influence. Such balancing takes place in the context of the Union's limited legitimacy and its commitment to respect for Member State cultural autonomy. Deference towards the cultural role of religion at Member State level enables culturally-entrenched religions to exercise a greater degree of influence within the Union's public order than "outsider" faiths that lack a comparable cultural role. Placing the Union's approach to religion in the context of broader historical and sociological trends around religion in Europe and of contemporary debates around secularism, equal treatment, and the role of Islam in Europe, McCrea sheds light on the interaction between religion and EU law in the face of a shifting religious demographic.
Book Synopsis Public Funding of Religions in Europe by : Francis Messner
Download or read book Public Funding of Religions in Europe written by Francis Messner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 begins by revolving around 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. It then goes on to look at state support and particular religious groups. The presentation of European and national law is supplemented by theoretical and interdisciplinary contributions, with the main focus being to bring into discussion and map the relationship between the funding of religions and the economy and to infer from it an attempt at a systematic examination or theorization of such funding. 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. The views expressed during the execution of the RELIGARE project, in whatever form and or by whatever medium, are the sole responsibility of the authors.

Book Synopsis Europa ohne Gott? by : Michael H. Weninger
Download or read book Europa ohne Gott? written by Michael H. Weninger and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2007 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Band befasst sich mit einem zentralen und hochaktuellen Thema gegenwartiger politischer Ethik: dem Verhaltnis von politischen und kirchlichen Institutionen im Rahmen der Europaischen Union. Ziel ist, die gegenwartigen Formen, Grenzen und Moglichkeiten der institutionellen Einbindung der Religionen, Kirchen und Weltanschauungsgemeinschaften in die EU darzustellen. In Anbetracht der aktuellen Debatte um den Verfassungsvertrag wird der religionspolitische Beitrag fur die Weiterentwicklung der EU und die Zukunft Europas thematisiert. Diese Fragestellung ist auch deshalb von entscheidender Bedeutung, weil die europaischen Institutionen eine aktive Beteiligung der Burger und Burgerinnen der Mitgliedstaaten - die sich gerade auch uber kirchliche, religiose wie zivilgesellschaftliche Vereinigungen vollzieht - fur ihr Funktionieren voraussetzt. Eine solch aktive Teilnahme am Integrationsprozess kann auch wesentlich zur Bildung einer neuen, vielleicht uberhaupt ersten, genuinen europaischen Identitat beitragen, die als Grundlage fur das Funktionieren des komplexen Regelwerks der EU heute mehr denn je notwendig ist. Michael H. Weninger ubt seit Jahren die Funktion des politischen Beraters des Prasidenten der Europaischen Kommission fur eben diesen Dialog aus.

Book Synopsis Islam, Religious Liberty and Constitutionalism in Europe by : Mark Hill KC
Download or read book Islam, Religious Liberty and Constitutionalism in Europe written by Mark Hill KC and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, since the Roman Empire's adoption of Christianity, the continent of Europe has been perceived as something of a Christian fortress. Today, the increase in the number of Muslims living in Europe and the prominence of Islamic belief pose questions not only for Europe's religious traditions but also for its constitutional make up. This book examines these challenges within the legal and political framework of Europe. The volume's contributors range from academics at leading universities to former judges and politicians. Its 19 chapters focus on constitutional challenges, human rights with a focus on religious freedom, and securitisation and Islamophobia, while adopting supranational and comparative approaches. This book will appeal not merely to academics and law students in the UK and the EU, but to anyone involved in diplomacy and international relations, including political scientists, lobbyists and members of NGOs. It explores these contested relationships to open up new spaces in how we think about religious freedom and co-existence in Europe and the crucial role that Islam has had, and continues to have, in its development.
Book Synopsis The Pro-Israel Lobby in Europe by : Elvira King
Download or read book The Pro-Israel Lobby in Europe written by Elvira King and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activities of pro-Israel pressure groups and lobbyists in the US are well-known. But the pro-Israel lobby in Europe is less prominent in both academic and media accounts. In a unique account, Elvira King identifies the pro-Israeli groups which attempt to influence policy-makers and implementers in the EU, specifically examining Christian Zionist groups. Through a detailed study of the European Coalition for Israel (ECI), the only Christian Zionist lobby in Brussels, Elvira King analyses whether and how a religious group can (and can fail to) influence decision-makers in the EU. By exploring the context of European relations with Israel as well as the mechanisms through which pressure groups are able to influence EU-wide policies, King offers an analysis which demonstrates how the EU can be a site where religion and politics meet, rather than just being a secular institution. It therefore contains vital primary research for both those interested in the pro-Israel lobby as well as those examining the role of religion in politics more generally.

Book Synopsis Religionspolitik by : Arnulf von Scheliha
Download or read book Religionspolitik written by Arnulf von Scheliha and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Band versammelt zwanzig Beitrage zur politischen Ethik, in denen Arnulf von Scheliha das Verhaltnis von Religion und Politik beleuchtet. Einerseits geht es um die Prasenz von religios gepragten Akteuren im politischen Raum, andererseits wird die plurale Religionskultur der Gegenwart zunehmend zu einer politischen Gestaltungsaufgabe, der sich Parteien, Parlamente und staatliche Ebenen stellen. Beide Seiten von Religionspolitik werden in diesem Buch in der Perspektive einer Theorie des neuzeitlichen Protestantismus interpretiert. Neben Grundlegungsfragen werden Aspekte des Verhaltnisses von Protestantismus und Moderne, aktuelle Konflikte zwischen Religion und Politik in Deutschland sowie exemplarische Politikfelder erortert, in denen sich die protestantische Ethik des Politischen zu bewahren hat, namlich Klimapolitik, Migrations- und Fluchtlingspolitik, die Zukunft des schulischen Religionsunterrichtes und der Umgang mit dem Rechtspopulismus.
Book Synopsis Religionspolitik und Politik der Religionen in Deutschland by : Antonius Liedhegener
Download or read book Religionspolitik und Politik der Religionen in Deutschland written by Antonius Liedhegener and published by Springer-Verlag. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit einem zunehmend wichtigeren Bereich der politischen Auseinandersetzung in Deutschland: der Religionspolitik. Nicht nur Demonstrationen mit religions- bzw. islamkritischem Inhalt, sondern auch vielfältige Themen politischer Entscheidung von der Religionsfreiheit und staatlichen Regulierung von Religion bis hin zu Biopolitik, Sterbehilfe und Lebensschutz zeigen die Bedeutung religiöser wie auch säkular geprägter Positionen in öffentlichen Diskussionen und politischen Streitthemen. Anders als erwartet hat die Säkularisierung in Deutschland nicht zu einem Verschwinden von Debatten über Religion geführt. Im Gegenteil kann unter Bedingungen religiöser Pluralisierung sogar von einer neuen, für manche überraschenden Bedeutung religionspolitischer Diskurse gesprochen werden.
Book Synopsis Religious War and Religious Peace in Early Modern Europe by : Wayne P. Te Brake
Download or read book Religious War and Religious Peace in Early Modern Europe written by Wayne P. Te Brake and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious War and Religious Peace in Early Modern Europe presents a novel account of the origins of religious pluralism in Europe. Combining comparative historical analysis with contentious political analysis, it surveys six clusters of increasingly destructive religious wars between 1529 and 1651, analyzes the diverse settlements that brought these wars to an end, and describes the complex religious peace that emerged from two centuries of experimentation in accommodating religious differences. Rejecting the older authoritarian interpretations of the age of religious wars, the author uses traditional documentary sources as well as photographic evidence to show how a broad range Europeans - from authoritative elites to a colorful array of religious 'dissenters' - replaced the cultural 'unity and purity' of late-medieval Christendom with a variable and durable pattern of religious diversity, deeply embedded in political, legal, and cultural institutions.
Book Synopsis God and the EU by : Jonathan Chaplin
Download or read book God and the EU written by Jonathan Chaplin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current political, economic and financial crises facing the EU reveal a deeper cultural, indeed spiritual, malaise – a crisis in ‘the soul of Europe’. Many observers are concluding that the ‘soul of Europe’ cannot be restored to health without a new appreciation of the contribution of religion to its past and future, and especially that of its hugely important but widely neglected Christian heritage, which is alive today even amidst advancing European secularization. This book offers a fresh, constructive and critical understanding of Christian contributions to the origin and development of the EU from a variety of theological and national perspectives. It explains the Christian origins of the EU, documents the various ways in which it has been both affirmed and critiqued from diverse theological perspectives, offers expert, theologically-informed assessments of four illustrative policy areas of the EU (trade, finance, environment, science), and also reports on the place of religion in the EU, including how religious freedom is framed and how contemporary religious (including Muslim) actors relate to EU institutions and vice versa. The book fills a major gap in the current debate about the future of the European project and will be of interest to students and scholars of religion, politics and European studies.
