RELIGION AND HUMAN RIGHTS GEBUNDEN

This book examines the relationship between human rights and religiosity. It discusses whether
the impact of religiosity on human rights is liberational or suppressive  and sheds light on
the direction in which the relationship between religion and human rights is expected to
develop. The questions explored in this volume are: Which are the rights that are currently
debated or under pressure? What is the position on human rights that churches and religious
communities represent? Are there tensions between churches  religious communities and the
state? Which rights are especially relevant for young people and which relate to adolescents
life-world experiences? Covering 17 countries  the book describes two separate  yet connected
studies. The first study presents research by experts from individual countries describing the
state of human rights and neuralgic points anticipated in individual societies. The other study
presents specific findings on the relationship between these two social phenomena from
empirical research in a population of high school students. Studying this particular population
allows insights into social trends  value systems and attitudes on human rights  as well as an
indication of the likely directions of development  and potential room for intervention.
