Religion and Biopolitics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Mirjam Weiberg-Salzmann, Ulrich Willems Religion and Biopolitics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Mirjam Weiberg-Salzmann, Ulrich Willems
R2,981 Discovery Miles 29 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Given the profound moral-ethical controversies regarding the use of new biotechnologies in medical research and treatment, such as embryonic research and cloning, this book sheds new light on the role of religious organizations and actors in influencing the bio-political debates and decision-making processes. Further, it analyzes the ways in which religious traditions and actors formulate their bio-ethical positions and which rationales they use to validate their positions. The book offers a range of case studies on fourteen Western democracies, highlighting the bio-ethical and political debates over human stem cell research, therapeutic and reproductive cloning, and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. The contributing authors illustrate the ways in which national political landscapes and actors from diverse and often fragmented moral communities with widely varying moral stances, premises and commitments formulate their bio-ethical positions and seek to influence political decisions.

Illiberal Politics and Religion in Europe and Beyond - Concepts, Actors, and Identity Narratives (Paperback, New Edition): Anja... Illiberal Politics and Religion in Europe and Beyond - Concepts, Actors, and Identity Narratives (Paperback, New Edition)
Anja Hennig, Mirjam Weiberg-Salzmann
R1,472 Discovery Miles 14 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Despite the broadly assumed institutional separation of church and state in contemporary Western politics, there is a trend towards renewed alliances between illiberal interpretations of religion and right-wing populist politics that challenge liberal democracy. This book explores the theoretically and empirically complex ideological, structural, and historical linkage between religion and illiberal politics within a broad range of European states. It shows how political actors apply Christian identity narratives to push exclusionist anti-Muslim politics, while simultaneously showcasing the ways in which religious actors evolve as illiberal players searching for political allies. This timely volume offers a critical look at a key contemporary issue that challenges assumptions and the reputations of current relationships between church and state.
