Constitutions and Religion is the first major reference work in the
emerging field of comparative constitutional law and religion. It
offers a nuanced array of perspectives on various models for the
treatment of religion in domestic and supranational legal orders.
Arranged into five main sections, the Research Handbook addresses a
range of topics through the lens of comparative constitutional law,
including history, concepts and theories; models of managing
religion; the politics of religion; supranational constitutionalism
and challenges and controversies. The contributors take an
interdisciplinary approach to survey historical, legal, political
and philosophical views of the contemporary multifaceted treatment
of religion within the constitutional order. Chapters explore in
depth the interplay between domestic, European and international
law, the interaction of the traditions of the major religions with
the constitutional ordering of religion and the state, as well as
the key challenges brought about by the repoliticizisation of
religion. This innovative Research Handbook will be a definitive
resource for academics and students interested in religious
studies, international and European Union law, international
relations, comparative constitutionalism, history, legal and
political theory, and sociology.
This law school casebook examines how the vast increase in
international movements of people, capital, goods, ideas and
information affects politics in and beyond nation-states, the rule
of law and separation of powers, and fundamental rights. It
contains case excerpts from at least 40 countries in all
continents, examining the assumptions, choices and trade-offs,
strategies and effects of decisions from constitutional courts and
human rights tribunals in different legal systems and political
contexts. It discusses different theories of constitutionalism and
how constitutional democracies address similar issues, in different
institutional settings. The fourth edition contains two new
chapters addressing respectively illiberal and populist
constitutionalism and developing national and transnational
constitutional treatments of climate change. In addition, this
edition newly covers transgender equality rights, recent
constitutional treatments of secession movements, and use of
emergency powers to confront the Covid-19 pandemic.
In this work, Professors Mancini and Rosenfeld have brought
together an impressive group of authors to provide a comprehensive
analysis on the greater demand for religions exemptions to
government mandates. Traditional religious conscientious objection
cases, such as refusal to salute the flag or to serve in the
military during war, had a diffused effect throughout society. In
sharp contrast, these authors argue that today's most notorious
objections impinge on the rights of others, targeting practices
like abortion, LGTBQ adoption, and same-sex marriage. The dramatic
expansion of conscientious objection claims have revolutionized the
battle between religious traditionalists and secular civil
libertarians, raising novel political, legal, constitutional and
philosophical challenges. Highlighting the intersection between
conscientious objections, religious liberty, and the equality of
women and sexual minorities, this volume showcases this political
debate and the principal jurisprudence from different parts of the
world and emphasizes the little known international social
movements that compete globally to alter the debate's terms.
The global movement of culture and religion has brought about a
serious challenge to traditional constitutional secularism. This
challenge comes in the form of a political and institutional
struggle against secular constitutionalism, and a two pronged
assault on the very legitimacy and viability of the concept. On the
one hand, constitutional secularism has been attacked as inherently
hostile rather than neutral toward religion; and, on the other
hand, constitutional secularism has been criticized as inevitably
favouring one religion (or set of religions) over others. The
contributors to this book come from a variety of different
disciplines including law, anthropology, history, philosophy and
political theory. They provide accounts of, and explanations for,
present predicaments; critiques of contemporary institutional,
political and cultural arrangements, justifications and practices;
and suggestions with a view to overcoming or circumventing several
of the seemingly intractable or insurmountable current
controversies and deadlocks. The book is separated in to five
parts. Part I provides theoretical perspectives on the present day
conflicts between secularism and religion. Part II focuses on the
relationship between religion, secularism and the public sphere.
Part III examines the nexus between religion, secularism and
women's equality. Part IV concentrates on religious perspectives on
constraints on, and accommodations of, religion within the
precincts of the liberal state. Finally, Part V zeroes in on
conflicts between religion and secularism in specific contexts,
namely education and freedom of speech.
