Book Synopsis Politik und Religion in der Europäischen Union by : Hartmut Behr
Download or read book Politik und Religion in der Europäischen Union written by Hartmut Behr and published by Springer-Verlag. This book was released on 2007-10-29 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wie christlich ist Europa? Wie religiös sind europäische Gesellschaften? Oder gibt es bereits eine europäische Gesellschaft? Und wenn ja, worauf baut sie auf? Glauben wir dem in die Krise geratenen europäischen Verfassungsentwurf, so ist die Europäische Union eine religiös neutrale, wirtschaftliche und politische Gemeinschaft. Verfolgen wir hingegen Europadiskurse in europäischen Gesellschaften von Seiten führender EU-Politiker wie auch von Seiten wissenschaftlicher Diskutanten, so finden wir allerorts Debatten um die, oder eine europäische Werteidentität und ihre religiöse Basis. All das ist genug Stoff, systematisch nach dem Verhältnis von Politik und Religion im europäischen Kontext zu fragen. Da das ordnungspolitisch-institutionelle wie geistige Verhältnis von Politik und Religion in europäischen Staaten, wie andere Politikfelder auch, von Europäisierungsprozessen betroffen sind, stehen ihre Ausgestaltungen in dem Zwiespalt zwischen nationalen Traditionen und religiöser Vielfalt. Unter diesem Topos suchen die Autoren dieses Bandes aus unterschiedlichen empirischen und theoretischen Perspektiven nach Antworten.
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 Religion, Politics and Law in the European Union by : Lucian N. Leustean
Download or read book Religion, Politics and Law in the European Union written by Lucian N. Leustean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU enlargement - to countries in Central and Eastern Europe in 2004, the inclusion of Bulgaria and Romania in 2007, and increasing debates on Turkey’s membership - has dramatically transformed the European Union into a multi-religious space. Religious communities are not only shaping identities but are also influential factors in political discourse. This edited volume examines the activities of religious actors in the context of supranational European institutions and the ways in which they have responded to the idea of Europe at local and international levels. By bringing together scholars working in political science, history, law and sociology, this volume analyses key religious factors in contemporary EU architecture, such as the transformation of religious identities, the role of political and religious leaders, EU legislation on religion, and, the activities of religious lobbies. This book was published as a special issue of Religion, State and Society.
Book Synopsis Religion and the Struggle for European Union by : Brent F. Nelsen
Download or read book Religion and the Struggle for European Union written by Brent F. Nelsen and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Religion and the Struggle for European Union, Brent F. Nelsen and James L. Guth delve into the powerful role of religion in shaping European attitudes on politics, political integration, and the national and continental identities of its leaders and citizens. Nelsen and Guth contend that for centuries Catholicism promoted the universality of the Church and the essential unity of Christendom. Protestantism, by contrast, esteemed particularity and feared Catholic dominance. These differing visions of Europe have influenced the process of postwar integration in profound ways. Nelsen and Guth compare the Catholic view of Europe as a single cultural entity best governed as a unified polity against traditional Protestant estrangement from continental culture and its preference for pragmatic cooperation over the sacrifice of sovereignty. As the authors show, this deep cultural divide, rooted in the struggles of the Reformation, resists the ongoing secularization of the continent. Unless addressed, it threatens decades of hard-won gains in security and prosperity. Farsighted and rich with data, Religion and the Struggle for European Union offers a pragmatic way forward in the EU's attempts to solve its social, economic, and political crises.

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 332 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.
Book Synopsis Die katholische Kirche in der Europäischen Union vor dem Hintergrund der Entstehung einer neuen politischen Ordnung Europas by : Michal Golanski
Download or read book Die katholische Kirche in der Europäischen Union vor dem Hintergrund der Entstehung einer neuen politischen Ordnung Europas written by Michal Golanski and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: 1,3, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Europäische Union wird politisch - insbesondere seitdem sich ihre Grundlagen in der Verfassung (der Vertrag über eine Verfassung für Europa und nach seinem Scheitern der Vertrag von Lissabon)verdichteten. Dies ebnet den Weg zu einer Konfrontation zwischen der Politik und der Religion, die wir seit der Antike kennen; allerdings findet sie heutzutage auf einer neuen, über die Staatsgrenzen hinausgehenden Ebene statt, nämlich im gemeinsamen politisch verfassten Europa. Kontroversen um die Konventsarbeiten haben dies mit aller Deutlichkeit gezeigt, zumal es beispielsweise heftig um den Gottesbezug in der EU-Verfassung gestritten wurde. Was heißt es für die christliche Religion und vor allem für den Katholizismus in Europa, welche Wege soll die europäische Politik einschlagen? Angesichts der gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Wirklichkeit Europas von heute scheinen sowohl für die Politik als auch die Religion bewährte Lösungen, Handlungsmuster und modi vivendi nicht mehr standhaft zu sein. So wie zu den Zeiten des europäischen Konstitutionalismus des ausgehenden XVIII. und anfangenden XIX. Jahrhunderts ist auch heute, unter neuen Umständen, die Suche nach einer tragfähigen Ausgestaltung des Verhältnisses Politik-Religion angebracht. Es wird in dem Aufsatz versucht, entsprechende Entwicklungstendenzen am Beispiel der Debatte um die EU-Verfassung aufzuspüren.
Book Synopsis Religion in an Expanding Europe by : Timothy A. Byrnes
Download or read book Religion in an Expanding Europe written by Timothy A. Byrnes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With political controversies raging over issues such as the wearing of headscarves in schools and the mention of Christianity in the European Constitution, religious issues are of growing importance in European politics. In this volume, Byrnes and Katzenstein analyze the effect that enlargement to countries with different and stronger religious traditions may have on the EU as a whole, and in particular on its homogeneity and assumed secular nature. Looking through the lens of the transnational religious communities of Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Islam, they argue that religious factors are stumbling blocks rather than stepping stones toward the further integration of Europe. All three religious traditions are advancing notions of European identity and European union that differ substantially from how the European integration process is generally understood by political leaders and scholars. This volume makes an important addition to the fields of European politics, political sociology, and the sociology of religion.

This book was released on 2005-12-29 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: 1,7, Universität Augsburg (Lehrstuhl für Politische Wissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Ausgewählte Probleme der Europäischen Integration, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung zum Thema „Religion in der Europäischen Union” (EU) könnte sich verschiedenen Aspekten widmen. Das Spektrum reicht von der Betrachtung des religiösen Lebens in den Mitgliedstaaten über den juristischen Vergleich der religionsrechtlichen Konstitution in den verschiedenen Verfassungen bis hin zur Beschreibung der Interessenvertretungen der Glaubensgemeinschaften und Kirchen gegenüber den Institutionen der EU. Ebenso sind die Stellung und die Geschichte der Religionen im Europa der letzten Jahrhunderte sowie deren Einfluss auf die Staatengründungen von außerordentlichem Interesse. Darüber hinaus finden auch die Diskussionen um Säkularisierung und „funktionale Differenzierung” moderner Gesellschaften ihren (berechtigten) Platz unter der Überschrift `Religion(en) in der Europäischen Union ́. HALMAN und PETTERSSON1bezeichnen Politik und Religion - der These der funktionalen Differenzierung folgend - als „fundamentale Dimensionen des sozialen Lebens” denen trotz des gemeinsamen Fundaments ein wesentlicher Unterschied innewohnt: Innerhalb der Religion seien die Menschen auf übernatürliche Kräfte angewiesen, wohingegen sie sich im Bereich der Politik selbst regierten. Dieser Unterschied hält jedoch nicht davon ab, „dass politische Belange im Religiösen Raum operieren” und, „dass religiöse Überzeugungen versuchen Politik zu beeinflussen.” Ähnlich dazu ROBBERS, der Religion als „Privatsache” bezeichnet, die allerdings „öffentlich wirken will”. Staatliche Rechtsprechung muss „das Private der Religion und [...] das Öffentliche der Religion miteinander in Ausgleich” bringen. Als staatliche Rechtsprechung werden im Falle der von mir gewählten europäischen Perspektive die Regelungen innerhalb der EU betrachtet. Nach einem einführenden ersten Teil über die Verteilung der verschiedenen Arten von Religiosität in den Mitgliedstaaten der EU soll das im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit erfolgen. Darin werden rechtliche Regelungen die religiösen Gemeinschaften und Kirchen betreffend innerhalb der Verträge zur Europäischen Union, zur Europäischen Gemeinschaft und innerhalb der Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union (wie sie im Entwurf der Verfassung für die Europäische Union enthalten ist) vorgestellt und die Entstehung der europäischen „Gesetzgebung” besprochen.
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 279 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 Law and Religion in Europe by : Norman Doe
Download or read book Law and Religion in Europe written by Norman Doe and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each state in Europe has its own national laws which affect religion and these are increasingly the subject of political and academic debate. This book provides a detailed comparative introduction to these laws with particular reference to the states of the European Union. A comparison of national laws on religion reveals profound similarities between them. From these emerge principles of law on religion common to the states of Europe and the book articulates these for the first time. It examines the constitutional postures of states towards religion, religious freedom, and discrimination, and the legal position, autonomy, and ministers of religious organizations. It also examines the protection of doctrine and worship, the property and finances of religion, religion, education, and public institutions, and religion, marriage, and children, as well as the fundamentals of the emergent European Union law on religion. The existence of these principles challenges the standard view in modern scholarship that there is little commonality in the legal postures of European states towards religion - it reveals that the dominant juridical model in Europe is that of cooperation between State and religion. The book also analyses national laws in the context of international laws on religion, particularly the European Convention on Human Rights. It proposes that national laws go further than these in their treatment and protection of religion, and that the principles of religion law common to the states of Europe may themselves represent a blueprint for the development of international norms in this field. The book provides a wealth of legal materials for scholars and students. The principles articulated in it also enable greater dialogue between law and disciplines beyond law, such as the sociology of religion, about the role of religion in Europe today. The book also identifies areas for further research in this regard, pointing the direction for future study.
