Summary
"This volume offers original research on religious freedom from around the globe. Individual chapters address the issues related to defining and understanding the concept of religious freedom and incorporate sociological thinking into interdisciplinary analysis of this topic. By interpreting legal cases, analyzing cross-national data, interviewing policy-makers, and reviewing policy-papers concerning religious freedom, the authors highlight the necessity of sociology engaging with other disciplines in this type of research. By applying theories of religious pluralism, secularity, secularization, judicialization of religion, "lived religion", total institutions, and others, this volume contributes theoretical perspectives, sociological concepts and empirical analyses that highlight the development of religious freedom as an area of study in the social sciences. Contributors are: Zaheeda P. Alibhai, Chrysa Almpani, Olga Breskaya, Anindita Chakrabarti, Lukáš Dirga, Roger Finke, Giuseppe Giordan, Kerby Goff, Anna Grasso, Nuran E. Işık, Dane R. Mataic, Efe Peker, Alexandros Sakellariou, Guillaume Silhol, Jan Váně, Barbara R. Walters"-- Provided by publisher.
