Law and International Religious Freedom : The Rise and Decline of the American Model, Paperback / softback Book

Law and International Religious Freedom : The Rise and Decline of the American Model Paperback / softback

Part of the ICLARS Series on Law and Religion series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book analyzes the promotion and protection of freedom of religion in the international arena with a particular focus on the role and influence of the US International Religious Freedom Act, 1998.

It also investigates the impact of the IRFA on the legislation and policies of third countries and the EU.

The book develops the story of the protection of religious freedom through foreign policy by showing how religious laws affect and shape a more communitarian dimension of the notion of freedom of religion which stands in contrast with a traditionally Western individualistic understanding of the right.

It is argued that it is still possible to defend the unstable category of freedom of religion or belief especially when major violations are at stake.

The book presents a balanced contribution to the academic debate on the promotion and protection of religious freedom.

The comparative approach and interdisciplinary methodology make it a valuable resource for academics, students and policy-makers in Law, International Relations and Strategic Studies.
