Publisher's Synopsis

Dans un contexte de polarisation croissante des opinions publiques au plan international, comment la question religieuse est-elle soulevee en France, aux Etats-unis, en Belgique, au Canada ? Commissions parlementaires, rapports gouvernementaux et lois font echo a une diversification religieuse souvent percue comme menacante et aux problemes inedits que poseraient l'islam et les sectes. Quelles politiques religieuses en resulte-t-il ? En mobilisant quel type de savoir ? Tel est l'objet de ce livre, lequel permet une premiere analyse croisee des identites, des valeurs, des images et des mythes vehicules par les decideurs publics et par divers groupes de la societe civile engages a nouveaux frais - sur fond de globalisation, de symboles nationaux et de droits universels - au trace des frontieres entre le public et le religieux. In a context of increasing polarization of public opinion about religious questions, how do issues involving religion appear in France, the United States, Belgium, and Canada? Parliamentary commissions, governmental reports, and laws pertaining to Islam and to so-called sects often lead to the promulgation of regulations that reflect the public's anxiety that religious diversity per se is threatening. The purpose of this book is to examine some of the identities, values, images, and myths that are perceived by decision makers and by participants in civil societies when boundaries are drawn between the public and the religious at the place where globalization and universal human rights meet.
