SEPARATION of CHURCH and STATE in EUROPE Ethnical, Religious and Cultural Backgrounds During the nineteenth and early twentieth century, the separation of state and church was an issue of great importance for liberal politicians and SEPARATION OF CHURCH parties in European politics. Liberals all over Europe tried to encourage the separation of religious institutions and the state. After the Second World War AND STATE IN EUROPE this issue seemed to become more and more irrelevant, as the separation was more or less achieved in some countries, or the existing ties did not lead WITH VIEWS ON SWEDEN, NORWAY, THE NETHERLANDS, to major troubles or inequalities. Recently the matter has become relevant BELGIUM, FRANCE, SPAIN, ITALY, SLOVENIA AND GREECE again, because of questions raised by integration of immigrants with different IN EUROPE AND STATE OF CHURCH SEPARATION ethnical, religious and cultural backgrounds. The separation of church and state developed, due to historical, cultural, social and political reasons, in very different ways in each of the Fleur de Beaufort - Ingemund Hägg - Patrick van Schie (eds.) member states of the European Union. The European Liberal Forum – a network of European liberal think tanks in connection with the European Liberal Party (ELDR) – organised several seminars on the topic of secularism. During these discussions the variety of developments in the relation between state and church showed, and so came the idea to publish a book on this matter. The purpose of the book is to provide evidence and ideas that could be used in the different countries in Europe for reforms clarifying the roles of religious organisations in relation to the state. This is of the utmost importance now that Europe is becoming more multireligious, multi-ethnic and multicultural. In this volume on the Separation of Church and State in Europe several ELF member organisations wrote an article on the situation in their country. The result is a book with views on the separation of church and state in Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Slovenia and Greece. The contributions are preceded by an introductory chapter which deals with the liberal principles of the separation, followed by a short bibliography for further reading. A second introductory chapter focuses on secularism debates within the European Union institutions and clashes between European and national policies.

Den Haag ISBN: 978-90-73896-40-6 Keywords: separation of church and state, secularism, liberalism, religious freedom Preface During the nineteenth and early twentieth century, a battle ground for liberal politicians and parties in European politics has been for the separation of church(es) and the state. Although in some countries more than in others, a secularising stance has been a defining position for liberals in most of Europe. After the Second World War this issue seemed to become increasingly irrelevant but issues of integration of immigrants with different ethnical, religious and cultural backgrounds have reversed this development. A series of seminars were organised by the European Liberal Forum (ELF) – an umbrella European liberal think tank in connection with the European Liberal Democratic and Reform Party (ELDR): in Bucharest in 2006, in Berlin in 2007 and in Barcelona in 2008. Several liberal think tanks cooperate in the ELF-network. These seminars were part of the programme ‘A liberal contribution to a European civic identity’, on which a final report can be found at the ELF website. The idea to make a book on secularism in Europe was launched by the Prof. mr. B.M. Teldersstichting – the Dutch liberal think tank affiliated to the Dutch liberal party VVD – and got positive reactions from other liberal think tanks, being members of the European Liberal Forum. The purpose is to present the situation of relations between religious organisations and the state (political institutions) in different countries in Europe. The assumption is that these relations are quite different, due to historical, cultural, social and political reasons. The policy relevant purpose of the book is to provide evidence and ideas that could be used in the different countries in Europe for reforms clarifying the roles of religious organisations in relation to the state. This is of the utmost importance now that Europe is becoming more multireligious, multi-ethnic and multicultural. The first chapter of this book deals with the liberal principles of the separation, followed by a short bibliography for further reading. The second introductory chapter focuses on secularism debates within the European Union institutions and clashes between European and national policies. These chapters are followed by presentations of the situations in Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Slovenia and Greece (roughly following a route from northern to southern Europe). The choice of countries is partly the result of self-selection. We have invited on a larger scale, and those who have volunteered to participate within a tied time-line have been welcomed. I The editors want to express their thanks to the participating think tanks and authors who have contributed to the writing of this book. Financial support from the European Liberal Forum and from participating think tanks is gratefully acknowledged.

Freedom of conscience in the field of religious beliefs has actually been the model for the extension of individual freedom also in other domains of public life in open societies. In spite of differences in legal frameworks and different political vocabularies, a common liberal position in this field is recognizable throughout European democracies. This is due both to the development of a common set of principles and values that are largely owed to the liberal heritage, and to the success achieved by the liberal tradition of religious neutrality and separation – as large as practically feasible – between religion and political power as a necessary way to attain individual freedom, at the same time achieving social cohesion. Increased diversity is a consequence of life in free and open societies. This also applies to individual beliefs. We no longer live in religiously homogeneous societies. Secularisation has made religious belief a personal choice, not an ascribed identity given by birth once and for ever. And immigration from countries with different religious traditions has enhanced religious pluralism. Different faiths and non-religious beliefs must be regarded as equally respectable options also by public institutions. The increased and increasing cultural, philosophical and religious diversity of European societies, far from making separation obsolete,

    The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair Professor Jason Wittenberg Professor Jacob Citrin Professor Katerina Linos Spring 2015 The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe Copyright 2015 by Kimberly Ann Twist Abstract The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair As long as far-right parties { known chiefly for their vehement opposition to immigration { have competed in contemporary Western Europe, scholars and observers have been concerned about these parties' implications for liberal democracy. Many originally believed that far- right parties would fade away due to a lack of voter support and their isolation by mainstream parties. Since 1994, however, far-right parties have been included in 17 governing coalitions across Western Europe. What explains the switch from exclusion to inclusion in Europe, and what drives mainstream-right parties' decisions to include or exclude the far right from coalitions today? My argument is centered on the cost of far-right exclusion, in terms of both office and policy goals for the mainstream right. I argue, first, that the major mainstream parties of Western Europe initially maintained the exclusion of the far right because it was relatively costless: They could govern and achieve policy goals without the far right.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs OIGNS OF SLOW BUT DISCERNIBLE economic recovery in 1993 —such as a drop in interest rate, reduced inflation, and even a small decline in unemploy- ment — did nothing to halt the unremitting decline in the political fortunes of Prime Minister John Major's Conservative government. The Tories lost to the Liberal Democrats in by-elections for two hitherto safe parliamentary seats — Newbury in May and Christchurch in July — and in local elections in May, when the Conserva- tives lost control of all but one county council. The most likely cause of the government's unpopularity was its own disunity. Internal dissension, for example, dogged the progress of the bill to ratify the Maas- tricht Treaty on European Union. In March the government lost a key vote on the bill by 22 votes, and Major had to call for a vote of confidence in July, which did insure final ratification of the treaty. The Labor party limited itself to profiting from the government's unpopularity and to updating its image and organization. Under leader John Smith's impetus, the party's annual conference in September voted to abolish the bloc vote enjoyed by the trade unions, in a bid to enhance the party's appeal to middle-class electors. Despite appeals by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and other groups, the government's Asylum Bill, which would limit the number of political refugees admitted to Britain, was passed by the House of Commons in January. Israel and the Middle East The draft peace accord signed by Israel and the Palestinians in September was welcomed by all political parties and opened the door to a more positive stance by Britain in Middle East politics.
