چکیده
How do minorities, defined as non-ruling communities, use as well as evade using state law, legal ideology and communal law for achievement of their political aims in democracies? What relations hold between violent, and non-violent means as hermeneutics, litigation, and legal mobilization? What is a communal legal culture, and what is its relevance for relations between state and society in the midst of globalization? How do non-liberal communal legal cultures interact with transnational American-led liberalism, and what are the ramifications of such interactions on relations between individuals, communities and states? Is current liberalism, with its emphasis on individual rights, litigation and adjudication sufficient to protect pluralism and multiculturalism? What is the communal meaning of violence in the context of communal legal cultures and state-society relations? Why should democracies encourage the collective rights of non-ruling communities and protect non-liberal communal cultures in principle and in practice?

متن کاملLegal Categorizations and Religion:
Western constitutionalism and modern liberalism have constructed and promoted the problematic hegemonic myth of separation of religion from state and politics in democracies (Carter, 1995). Yet, a careful and critical analysis of modern politics, law, and society, which deconstructs formal legal categorizations would point to the irreducible significant role of religion in modern states, laws, ...
