Abstract

Abstract In recent times, religious nationalism has emerged as a major basis for identity and mobilization. In Asia, religious nationalism specifically challenges existing pluralist approaches to constitutional government, which have generally been seen as necessary to ensure peaceful coexistence. The increasing alignment of religious and national boundaries has the worrying capacity to neutralize the “cross-cutting cleavages” that could otherwise vitiate the centrifugal tendencies of pluralistic societies. In the context of pluralistic Asia, therefore, religious nationalism is fundamentally anchored in a rejection of ethnic, religious, cultural, and even legal plurality. This has serious consequences for the freedoms of religious groups, particularly minority groups and minorities within dominant religious groups. This article introduces the Special Issue studying not only the phenomenon of religious nationalism in Asia, but also its impact on the rights of religious groups and their religious freedoms, broadly conceived.

宗教民族主义与亚洲宗教自由:全球现象中的区域趋势
摘要近年来,宗教民族主义已成为认同和动员的主要基础。在亚洲,宗教民族主义特别挑战了现有的宪政多元化方法,而宪政通常被视为确保和平共处所必需的。宗教和国家边界的日益一致具有消除“交叉分裂”的令人担忧的能力,否则这种分裂可能会破坏多元社会的离心倾向。因此,在多元亚洲的背景下,宗教民族主义从根本上植根于对种族、宗教、文化甚至法律多元性的排斥。这对宗教团体,特别是少数群体和占主导地位的宗教团体中的少数群体的自由产生了严重后果。本文介绍了《亚洲宗教民族主义特刊》,该特刊不仅研究了亚洲的宗教民族主义现象,而且从广义上研究了它对宗教团体权利及其宗教自由的影响。

期刊介绍: The Asian Journal of Law and Society (AJLS) adds an increasingly important Asian perspective to global law and society scholarship. This independent, peer-reviewed publication encourages empirical and multi-disciplinary research and welcomes articles on law and its relationship with society in Asia, articles bringing an Asian perspective to socio-legal issues of global concern, and articles using Asia as a starting point for a comparative exploration of law and society topics. Its coverage of Asia is broad and stretches from East Asia, South Asia and South East Asia to Central Asia. A unique combination of a base in Asia and an international editorial team creates a forum for Asian and Western scholars to exchange ideas of interest to Asian scholars and professionals, those working in or on Asia, as well as all working on law and society issues globally.
