"In most European societies today, religion and questions about religion are increasing in relevance and importance. This development can be explained in several ways, for example by continuous demographic changes and new societal standards and values. As a consequence, the debate on the interpretation and scope of the right to freedom of religion has intensified in politics, media and, of course, law. The right to freedom of religion is complex and varies within different legal contexts at the international, European and national levels. This has resulted in a right that is ambiguous and sometimes difficult for individuals to claim and for states to assert. This book presents a variety of perspectives on the concept of freedom of religion in different European countries against the background of the European Convention on Human Rights, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and other international treaties. It contains contributions from leading legal scholars working in these fields in Sweden, the Nordic countries and wider Europe."--

"Depuis la Déclaration de Vienne, adoptée en 1993, le principe de l'égalité hiérarchique entre les différents droits et libertés fondamentaux n'a jamais été remis en cause de manière significative au sein de la communauté internationale : tous les droits auraient la même valeur juridique et aucun de ceux-là ne pourrait primer sur les autres en cas de conflit. Le présent livre s'attaque à l'effectivité du postulat de non-domination des droits et des valeurs en étudiant les portées, très différentes, qui furent conférées, au Canada, à deux ensembles de droits et libertés fondamentaux. Car l'étude de la jurisprudence canadienne confirme en effet l'existence d'une hiérarchie juridique matérielle favorisant les dispositions protégeant les convictions religieuses individuelles au sein de l'ensemble des droits fondamentaux. La thèse à l'origine de cet ouvrage a obtenu la Mention spéciale de l'Institut international des droits de l'Homme, à Strasbourg, dans le cadre du prix de thèse René Cassin 2011 visant à récompenser la meilleure thèse francophone dont le sujet est lié aux droits de l'Homme." -- Provided by publisher.

This collective work explores the themes of religious coexistence and the broaching of religious frontiers in Europe during the 16th, 17th and 18th Centuries. It intends to open new areas for discussion on a European level through the bias of a dia-logue between researchers subscribing to highly different national traditions (France, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany). It acts through the contributions gathered here to analyse the possibilities and different methods of interfaith con-tact by using as a departure point the experience of religious differences: The ex-perience garnered by diverse social actors – ecclesiastical, magisterial, academics and nobility.

Diverse Islamic groups have triggered a »revival of Islam« in Central Asia in the last decades. As a result, there has been a general securitization of Islam by the governments: not only do they combat the terrorist Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan but also outlaw popular groups such as the Gülen movement. However, strong repression of religion might lead to radicalization. Kathrin Lenz-Raymann tests this hypothesis with an agent-based computer simulation and enriches her study with interviews with international experts, leaders of political Islam and representatives of folk Islam. She concludes that ensuring religious rights is essential for national security.
