This book is devoted to the study of the interplay between
religious rules and State law. It explores how State recognition of
religious rules can affect the degree of legal diversity that is
available to citizens and why such recognition sometime results in
more individual and collective freedom and sometime in a threat to
equality of citizens before the law. The first part of the book
contains a few contributions that place this discussion within the
wider debate on legal pluralism. While State law and religious
rules are two normative systems among many others, the specific
characteristics of the latter are at the heart of tensions that
emerge with increasing frequency in many countries. The second part
is devoted to the analysis of about twenty national cases that
provide an overview of the different tools and strategies that are
employed to manage the relationship between State law and religious
rules all over the world.
