Managing Religious Diversity in Italy
The phenomenon of immigration, together with an increasingly interconnected form of globalization and the rapid development of scientific and digital technologies, has placed considerable pressure on contemporary Western constitutional orders. These dynamics have compelled States to confront complex challenges, particularly with respect to facts, rights, and freedoms relating to religion. While such trends are observable in numerous countries, th…
Freedom of Religion and State Secularism under the Covid-19 Crisis
This article analyzes the role of religious freedom and the principle of state secularism in Italy under the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, the author focuses on the Government’s anti-Covid-19 restrictive measures that have limited some fundamental rights, including the right to freely profess and celebrate religious rites in community; which has led to a lively debate. However, unlike in other Western countries, in Italy the debate has been c…
The Legal Treatment of Muslims in Italy in the Age of Fear and Insecurity
Although diverging influences have always characterized the relation between religion and democracy, in Italy, tensions arising from these divergences are especially exacerbated by the country’s current religious diversity and plurality, and they are magnified when combined with chronic emergencies such as immigration and international terrorism. These critical factors complicate the application of freedom of religion and the supreme principle of…
Imams in Western Europe
As European Muslims and Muslims in the Middle East diverge, imams in Europe have emerged as major agents of religious authority who shape Islam’s presence in Western societies. This volume examines the theoretical and practical questions concerning the evolving role of imams in Europe. To what extent do imams act as intermediaries between European states and Muslim communities? Do states subsidise imam training? How does institutionalisation of I…
Freedom of Expression, Laïcité and Islam in France
In France, freedom of expression is perceived as a sort of liberté matricielle, a matrix of other fundamental freedoms. As such, it is reflected in many constitutional provisions, including those referring to religion. In addition, the practical exercise of freedom of expression remains strictly linked with the principle of laïcité, which is part of the institutional, legal and intellectual history of the French Republic and has even become the b…
Morocco
Far from taking place in a vacuum, in Morocco the 2011 constitutional revision was assessed both from an internal political perspective and within the broader context of what has come to be called the ‘Arab Spring’. In this manner, the 2011 Moroccan Constitution has indeed marked an unprecedented change, declaring the State’s adherence to the protection of human rights, which are strictly related to the Western history of ‘secular constitutionali…
Western secularism in an age of religious diversity
In the last decade several Western countries have been updating the law concerning the relationships between State and Churches. This clearly testifies that many legal instruments, created for carrying out secularism in societies dominated by a single culture and tradition, are not any longer adequate to meet the needs of today's multicultural communities. In fact, those legal instruments were tailored on the requirements of traditional creeds; t…
