With the theory of secularization increasingly contested as a
plausible development at a global scale, this book focuses on the
changing significance of the religious element within a context of
complex diversity. This concept reflects the rationale behind the
deep transformations that have taken place in the dynamics of
social change, giving way to a recombination of social, political
and cultural cleavages that overlap and compete for legitimacy at a
national and supranational level. Far from disappearing with
modernization, new forms of religious diversity have emerged that
continue to demand specific policies from the state, putting
pressure on the established practices of religious governance while
creating a series of normative dilemmas. European societies have
been a testing ground for many of these changes, but for decades
Canada has been viewed as a pioneering country in the management of
diversity, thus offering some interesting similarities and
contrasts with the former. Accordingly, the book deals with the
diverging routes that political secularization has followed in
Europe and Canada, the patterns of religious governance that can be
recognized in each region, and the practices for accommodating the
demands of religious minorities concerning their legal regulation,
the management of public institutions, and the provision of social
services.
