International conference “Religion, State, and Law”

Les 2 et 3 décembre 2021, l’Université de Graz accueille le colloque international “Religion, État et droit : Défis nationaux, transnationaux et internationaux”. Il est organisée par la Faculté de droit, la Faculté de théologie catholique, le Centre d’études de l’Europe du Sud-Est et l’EURAC Bolzano. En raison des restrictions liées au Covid-19, le colloque se déroulera exclusivement en ligne.

Conference Abstract:

Les processus à long terme de transnationalisation, de sécularisation, de désécularisation et de mobilisation politique de et par la religion ont favorisé des transformations importantes et fondamentales à divers égards. Ils sont notamment d’une grande importance pour les questions d’intégration sociale et systémique au sein des États démocratiques libéraux, d’une part, et pour les relations internationales, d’autre part. Afin de relever ces défis, il est essentiel de s’éloigner du paradigme westphalien de l’État et de la pensée conceptuelle et méthodologique connexe sur l’État, le droit et la religion. Par conséquent, le colloque vise à discuter des perspectives inter- et intra-disciplinaires des dimensions politiques, religieuses, juridiques et culturelles.

Conference Organisation Committee: Joseph Marko (Institute of Public Law and Political Science), Wolfgang Weirer (Institute of Catechetics and Religious Education Studies), Franz Winter (Institute of Religious Studies), Kerstin Wonisch (Eurac Research), Maximilian Lakitsch (The Foundations of Law), Lukas Waltl (Institute of Public Law and Political Science).
