It insists, however, that this good be understood abstractly, without the state taking sides on any theological question. Here, a leading scholar of constitutional law explains the logic of this uniquely American form of neutrality-more religion-centered than liberal theorists propose, and less overtly theistic than conservatives advocate. The First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of religion is under threat. Growing numbers of critics, including a near-majority of the Supreme Court, seem ready to cast aside the ideal of American religious neutrality. Andrew Koppelman defends that ideal and explains why protecting religion from political manipulation is imperative in an America of growing religious diversity. Understanding American religious neutrality, Koppelman shows, can explain some familiar puzzles. How can Bible reading in public schools be impermissible while legislative sessions begin with prayers, Christmas is an official holiday, and the words "under God" appear in the Pledge of Allegiance? Are faith-based social services, public financing of religious schools, or the teaching of intelligent design constitutional? Combining legal, historical, and philosophical analysis, Koppelman shows how law coherently navigates these conundrums. He explains why laws must have a secular legislative purpose, why old, but not new, ceremonial acknowledgments of religion are permitted, and why it is fair to give religion special treatment.Church and stateUnited StatesFreedom of religionUnited StatesEcclesiastical lawUnited StatesChurch and stateFreedom of religionEcclesiastical law342.7308/52Koppelman Andrew1605076MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963024103321Defending American religious neutrality4355700UNINA03984oam 2200673I 450 991015524690332120240505174215.01-315-54516-01-134-82119-01-134-82112-310.4324/9781315545165 (CKB)3710000000973637(MiAaPQ)EBC4771787(OCoLC)968767209(BIP)56234868(BIP)56111060(EXLCZ)99371000000097363720180706d2017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierEthnic conflict in asymmetric federations comparative experience of the former Soviet and Yugoslav regions /Gorana Grgic1st ed.London ;New York :Routledge,2017.1 online resource (287 pages) illustrationsRoutledge studies in federalism and decentralization ;31-138-68242-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- 1. Dynamics of ethnonationalist mobilization and occurrence of conflicts in asymmetric federations -- 2. USSR and SFRY : sources of war and peace in asymmetric ethnofederations -- 3. Russia and Sebia : the core as the key -- 4. The Periphery I : early to rise, early to fight? -- 5. The Periphery II : mobilizational laggards and interethnic confects -- 6. The Periphery III : the conflict near misses -- Conclusion.In the last years of their existence, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) found themselves facing a similar and very grim state of affairs. After their disintegration, the former Yugoslav republics spiralled into a set of ethnic conflicts that did not leave a single one of them unscathed, and in the ex-Soviet space, conflicts were far more limited. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the difference in state collapses and ensuing conflicts in the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia by focusing on their asymmetric ethnofederal structure and the different dynamics of ethnic mobilization that the federal units experienced. Moreover, it explores the links between identity politics and international relations, as the latter has been a latecomer in research on ethnonationalism and ethnic conflict. Finally, it contributes to the literature on the democratization-conflict nexus by proposing that the sequencing of ethnic mobilization and political liberalization has significant effects on the likelihood of conflict. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of Post-Soviet politics, Balkan politics, ethnic conflict, peace and conflict studies, federalism, and more broadly to comparative politics and international relations.Ethnic conflictFormer Soviet republicsEthnic conflictFormer Yugoslav republicsMinoritiesGovernment policySoviet UnionMinoritiesGovernment policyYugoslaviaDemocratizationFormer Soviet republicsDemocratizationFormer Yugoslav republicsFederal governmentSoviet UnionFederal governmentYugoslaviaSoviet UnionEthnic relationsPolitical aspectsYugoslaviaEthnic relationsPolitical aspectsEthnic conflictEthnic conflictMinoritiesGovernment policyMinoritiesGovernment policyDemocratizationDemocratizationFederal governmentFederal government303.6/408900947Grgic Goran1965-,993212MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155246903321Ethnic conflict in asymmetric federations2274267UNINA
