Staat, Recht und Religion in pluralistischen Gesellschaften.


The contributions of this volume present experiences and best-practice examples in managing religious diversity from a legal, political and local perspective. It marks an interesting point for the on-going discussion on integration and participation of Muslims in Europe and shows the need for exchanging knowledge and experience in this field – especially to fulfil the challenges in a globalized world. This volume combines contributions from the Austrian-Indonesian Dialogue Symposium State, Law and Religion in Pluralistic Societies – Austrian and Indonesian Perspectives, held in May 2009 in Vienna, organized by the Austrian and the Indonesian Ministry for Foreign Affairs in co-operation with the Faculty of Law. This symposium marked an important step in strengthening the dialog between the countries, both on the level of civil service, universities and religious communities.

Prof. em. Dr. Richard Potz lehrte am Institut für Rechtsphilosophie an der Universität Wien.
