How new religions have often been characterized as cults by international courts and other institutions since World War I; some focus on actions of EEC institutions.

Die Zahl der Personen ohne Konfessionszugehörigkeit steigt in der Schweiz kontinuierlich an. Für das Religionsverfassungsrecht bedeutet das eine Herausforderung, denn es ist auf die Religionsgemeinschaften ausgerichtet und berücksichtigt die Konfessionslosen bisher kaum. Es stellt sich daher die Frage, ob das bestehende Verhältnis von Staat und Religion in absehbarer Zeit auch in dieser Hinsicht einer Anpassung bedarf. Im vorliegenden Sammelband werden die aktuellen Entwicklungen aus religionssoziologischer Sicht untersucht sowie rechtlich analysiert. Die rechtswissenschaftlichen Texte befassen sich mit grundsätzlichen Fragen - unter anderem bezüglich der Finanzierung von Religionsgemeinschaften - und mit konkreten Handlungsfeldern, in denen sich die zunehmende Religionslosigkeit manifestiert

"When the Indonesian New Order regime fell in 1998, regional politics with strong ethnic content emerged across the country. In West Kalimantan the predominant feature was particularly that of the Dayaks. This surge, however, was not unprecedented. After centuries of occupying a subordinate place in the political and social hierarchy under the nominal rule of the Malay sultanates, Dayaks became involved in an enthusiastic political emancipation movement from 1945. The Dayaks secured the governorship as well as the majority of the regional executive head positions before they were shunned by the New Order regime. This book examines the development of Dayak politics in West Kalimantan from the colonial times until the first decade of the 21st century. It asks how and why Dayak politics has experienced drastic changes since 1945. It will look at the effect of regime change, the role of the individual leaders and organizations, the experience of marginalization, and conflicts on the course of Dayaks politics. It will also examine ethnic relations and recent political development up to 2010 in the province. Dr Taufiq Tanasaldy is a lecturer in Asian Studies and Indonesian language. He has a PhD in Southeast Asian Studies from the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (RSPAS), the Australian National University.

This edited volume provides a convenient entry point to the cutting-edge field of the international politics of technology, in an interesting and informative manner. Technology and World Politics introduces its readers to different approaches to technology in global politics through a survey of emerging fusions of Science and Technology Studies and International Relations. The theoretical approaches to the subject include the Social Construction of Technology, Actor-Network Theory, the Critical Theory of Technology, and New Materialist and Posthumanist approaches. Considering how such theoretical approaches can be used to analyse concrete political issues such as the politics of nuclear weapons, Internet governance, shipping containers, the revolution in military affairs, space technologies, and the geopolitics of the Anthropocene, the volume stresses the socially constructed and inherently political nature of technological objects. Providing the theoretical background to approach the politics of technology in a sophisticated manner alongside a glossary and guide to further reading for newcomers, this volume is a vital resource for both students and scholars focusing on politics and international relations.
