These dossiers critically review the way religion and religious diversity are governed in select countries of Europe, Asia, the MENA region and Canada. They examine state-religion relations (including secularism), highlight cases of religiously inspired radicalisation, and draw attention to vital forms of resilience.
- Our Profiles are 6-page sketches of religious affiliation, religious freedom, state-religion relations and religiously inspired radicalisation in a given country.
- Our Reports elaborate on the above, offering much more detail and analysis.
Mapping Rationale
Nine macro-regions are considered, four within Europe and five outside of Europe. By looking at regions beyond Europe, we gain insights into predominantly Muslim countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia); countries with pronounced historical religious diversity (India and Lebanon); and one predominantly Christian country with a migrant pluralist profile (Australia, Canada). The insights gained through this exercise can provide a basis for re-thinking models of governing religious diversity in various socio-economic and geopolitical contexts.
Conceptual Orientation
These assessments utilize the conceptual framework articulated in the GREASE project Concept Papers. Regarding radicalisation, we consider two levels of religiously inspired radicalism: the state level, whereby the state controls/instrumentalises religion and vice versa; and the individual or community level, expressed in the willingness to use (or supporting the use of) violence in the name of a religion or against a religion.
