Secularism or Democracy? : Associational Governance of Religious
Diversity
Veit
Bader
Established institutions and
policies of dealing with religious diversity in liberal democratic states are
increasingly under pressure. Practical politics and political theory is caught
in a trap between a fully secularized state (strict separation of state and
politics from completely privatized religions based on an idealized version of
American denominationalism or French republicanism) and neo-corporatist or
'pillarized' regimes of selective cooperation between states and organized
religions. The book offers an original, comprehensive conceptual, theoretical
and practical approach to problems of governance of religious diversity from a
multi-disciplinary perspective combining moral and political philosophy,
constitutional law, history, sociology and anthropology of religions and
comparative institutionalism. Proposals of associative democracy - a moderately
libertarian, flexible version of democratic institutional pluralism - are
introduced and scrutinized whether they can serve as as plausible third way
overcoming the inherent deficiencies of the predominant models in theory and
practice.
