Secular States and Religious Diversity, Paperback / softback Book

Secular States and Religious Diversity Paperback / softback

Edited by Bruce J. Berman, Rajeev Bhargava, Andre Laliberte

Part of the Ethnicity and Democratic Governance series

Paperback / softback

Description

Contemporary nation-states have seen the rise of religious pluralism within their borders, brought about by global migration and the challenge of radical religious movements.

Secular States and Religious Diversity explores the meaning of secularism and religious freedom in these new contexts.

The contributors chart the impact of globalization, the varying forms of secularism in Western states, and the different kinds of relations between states and religious institutions in the historical traditions and contemporary politics of Islamic, Indic, and Chinese societies.

They also examine the limitations and dilemmas of governmental responses to religious diversity, and grapple with the question of how secular states deal (and should deal) with such pluralism.

This volume brings in perspectives from the non-Western world and engages with viewpoints that might increase states’ capacities to accommodate religious diversity positively.
