Religious Nationalism: A Reference Handbook challenges dominant scholarly works on religious nationalism by identifying the preconceptions that skew analysis of the phenomenon dubbed "religious nationalism." The book utilizes a multidisciplinary approach that draws insight from theories of nationalism, religious studies, peace research, and political theory, and reframes the questions of religious nationalism within the perspectives of secularism, modernity, and Orientalism. In doing so, the author enables readers to uncover their own presumptions regarding the role of religion in public life. Unlike other works on this subject, the work outlines connections between the analysis of the role of religion in conflict to thoughts regarding how religion may relate to processes of peacebuilding and conflict transformation, and further connects the discussion of religious nationalism to broader conversations on the so-called resurgence of religion. The book will serve advanced high school and college students studying religion, international relations, and related subjects while also appealing to a wide audience of readers with an interest in questions of religion and politics.

Paper discusses topical problems of preserving and further strengthening tolerance in Georgia as an attribute of contemporary Georgian society. An interplay between religious and ethnic aspects of conflict is a primary focus of the paper. It is argued that despite the rarity of religion-driven conflicts between different ethnic groups, there is an acute need for preventive measures to avert conflict in the future. Effective and coordinated efforts on the part of international organizations and individual governments are seen as of increasing importance as they support Georgia's political stability and economic growth.

Robert McKim's goal in 'On Religious Diversity' is to distinguish and examine a number of possible responses to the knowledge of other religious traditions that are available to all of us today.

The relation between religion and human rights is a contested one, as they appear to compete with one another. Religion is often considered to represent a tradition of heteronomy and subordination in premodern times. Human rights emerged from early modern and modern times and stand for principles like human dignity, autonomy, equality. The first question in this book is how to define religion, its meaning, functions and structures, and how to study it. The second question is how to understand religion from its relation with human rights in such a way that justice is done to both religion and h

Секция 7. Коммуникация в социально-гуманитарном знании, экономике, образовании ; Представлен компаративный анализ коммуникаций и политики в сфере образования Беларуси и России в с учетом роста роли религии и религиозного мировоззрения. Показано, что в Беларуси идеология жизнедеятельности государства создает благоприятные условия для подготовки национально ориентированных специалистов. Религиозные институты оказывают существенное влияние на формирование отношений человека к национальному государственному управлению. При этом творчески используются современные технологии коммуникаций и благожелательное отношение государства к участию представителей официально зарегистрированных религиозных организаций в процессах обучения и воспитания. Религиозные институты являются одним из главных факторов социализации, в коммуникациях с людьми апеллируют к культурным традициям, к духовной общности, уважению к ближнему, естественному стремлению человека к справедливости и благополучию. В России существует проблема формулирования объединяющей все социальные слои идеи социально-экономического развития государства и общества. ; Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке РФФИ и АНО ЭИСИ в рамках научного проекта № 19-011-31297 ; The comparative analysis of communications and policy in the sphere of education of Belarus and Russia in view of the growing role of religion and religious worldview is presented. It is shown that in Belarus the ideology of the state creates favorable conditions for the training of nationally oriented specialists. Religious institutions have a significant impact on the formation of human relations to national governance. At the same time, modern communication technologies and the benevolent attitude of the state to the participation of representatives of officially registered religious organizations in the processes of education and upbringing are creatively used. Religious institutions are one of the main factors of socialization, in communication with people they appeal to cultural traditions, to spiritual community, respect for the neighbor, the natural human desire for justice and well-being. In Russia there is a problem of formulation of the idea of social and economic development of the state and society uniting all social layers.

This book brings together the varied experiences of different cultural groups in their Diaspora context and provides insight into the various issues they have to deal with. The content of the book is divided into the following broad categories: Chinese Experience; Japanese-Brazilian and Brazilian Experience; South Asian Experience; Impact of 9/11 on Muslim Religious Pluralism; and Issues of Religious Pluralism in the Diaspora. While keeping theory to a minimum, the book focuses on case-studies in the hope this will facilitate scholars to engage in further theoretical work on the phenomenon of religious pluralism in the Diaspora and in answering important questions on how religious pluralism can be conceptualised and which issues need to be addressed in doing so. The material is also useful for comparative studies in the academic study of religion

This writing aims to analyze the sociological aspects of multicultural Islamic religious education. Multicultural Islamic religious education is a solution to the plurality of Indonesian society in accordance with the democratic principles adopted by the Indonesian nation. Multicultural Islamic religious education is an important aspect in building the nation's next generation. Sociological aspects in multicultural Islamic religious education are fundamentally reflected by the existence of conducive cooperation between Islamic religious education in the family, school and community environment, good educational control will be realized. In a sociological context, the family is the first and foremost institution known to children. In this case, his parents are the first to be known and provide educational values. Then the school environment, the school at this time is a need for everyone to get an education from school. Schools in this case have two important aspects, namely individual aspects and social aspects. On the one hand, schools are tasked with influencing and creating conditions that allow optimal development. Furthermore, the community environment, a diverse society such as in Indonesia often creates the potential for friction or even conflict. Therefore, differences are a necessity in a pluralistic society. Differences must be accepted as a necessity. Such acceptance will lead to people's attitudes that can accept existing differences. This is what will produce students who have good morals, who will not only make their parents and teachers proud, but also the community as users of educational outcomes.

En el pequeño reino de Zangla (Zanskar), son exaltadas las virtudes búdicas del rey. A lo largo de los siglos, este reconocimiento ha motivado donaciones importantes del palacio real a los monasterios. Los reyes zanskari están emparentados con Buda : su grupo clánico fue engendrado por Gautama, ancestro lejano de los Sakya. Por otra parte, la primacia del rey sobre los campesinos conlleva su primacia en los rituales laicos comunitarios. Durante los trabajos rituales de primavera, el rey aparece como el primero entre « los dueños de la tierra » (sabdag). La identidad de los dioses del clan real y de las divinidades tutelares del pueblo evocan la naturaleza doble de los sku bla del Tibet antiguo (siglos VII-IX). Por otra parte diversos indices testimonian de la presencia, en Zanskar, de la concepción « sacralizada » del polder real, sacralización que estaba en vigor durante el tiempo de las soveranos tibetanos.

What role should religious convictions play in political activities? Christopher Eberle is at odds with the dominant orthodoxy among political theorists about the relation of religion and politics.
