Religion, Democracy and Civil Liberties

This year's ECPR Capital Lecture Series is held in Rome on 21 January 2011. This event is co-sponsored by the Italian Political Science Association (SISP), the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and the host institution, Luiss School of Government.  This event is free to all participants wishing to attend. This edition of the Capital Lecture Series (CLS) addresses a theme of great current political interest, that of the development of democracy and civil rights in different religious contexts. The impact of religion on democracy and civil rights is a crucial issue in the political life of the contemporary world. Although scholars disagree about the nature and the scope of this influence, there is widespread concern about the possible role of the religious factor in facilitating authoritarian regimes, intercommunal clashes, and transnational extremist networks. In today’s Europe, such phenomena represent a two-faced challenge: for the religious communities that must effectively integrate in democratic institutions, and for the policy-makers who must find new policies and forms of cooperation to cope with previously unknown threats and issues.

Read the welcoming message of Prof. Sergio Fabbrini, Director of the School of Government to conference participants.
