Religious Minorities in Pluralist Societies
Martinus Nijhoff (Verlag)
978-90-04-44680-9 (ISBN)
The accommodation of religious diversity in contemporary pluralist societies is undoubtedly amongst the most salient issues on today’s political agenda, not least due to the challenges posed by migration. A subject of considerable debate is how to reconcile the demands of religious and cultural diversity alongside political unity, that is, how to create a political community that is cohesive and stable and satisfies the legitimate aspirations of minorities. This volume provides a critical analysis of the institutional accommodations and legal frameworks conceived by and/or for historical religious groups and assesses their potential and shortcomings in providing for an integrated society based on human- and minority rights protection.
Dr. Roberta Medda-Windischer (LL.M, PhD), Senior Researcher and Group Leader for Equality and Diversity in Integrated Societies at Eurac Research Institute for Minority Rights (Bolzano/Bozen – Italy), is an international lawyer specialised in minority issues, human rights, diversity management and minority protection. Mag. Kerstin Wonisch worked as Researcher at the Eurac Research Institute for Minority Rights (Bolzano/Bozen – Italy) where her research focused on the rights of religious minorities and the governance of religious diversity, Islamic pluralism, gender and human rights. Dr. Alexandra Cosima Budabin (PhD), is Senior Researcher at the Eurac Research Institute for Minority Rights (Bolzano/Bozen – Italy) where she researches transnational advocacy around minority rights, cultural heritage, and conflict and security.
