Routledge - Belief, Law and Politics: Secular Europe Book

Explore the complex relationship between religious diversity and European law with this edited collection from Routledge. Based on the three-year RELIGARE project, this book examines how philosophical and religious diversity impacts modern legal frameworks across the continent. The text focuses on four specific areas of public policy where the need to accommodate diversity is most evident: employment, family life, the use of public space, and state support mechanisms. By analyzing these spheres, the book provides a clear look at the legal pressures facing European nations today. This volume goes beyond mere analysis by offering a forward-looking perspective. It includes practical recommendations for governance units operating at local, national, and European levels. It is an essential resource for those studying international law, political science, and the evolving landscape of secularism in Europe.
