Beschrijving uitgever
An increasingly common approach to governing religion and state relations in non-secular settings is a mixed system of religious law and general legal principles. Despite their many past and present variations, such hybrid legal regimes defy the Franco-American ideal of separating religion and state along private/public lines. At least one billion people now-live under a legal order that enshrines religion and its interlocutors as "a" or "the" source of legislation (meaning that legislation must comply with principles of that religion), granting religious tribunals jurisdiction over important aspects of life, public and private, in addition to the tremendous symbolic weight religious edicts often carry.
