From<br> burqa bans to same-sex marriage, a strong relationship between religion and national identity<br> (whether 'negative', as in the French case, or 'positive' as in the Greek case), can often be<br> found as a central factor therein. Based on empirical research conducted on pluralism and<br> religious freedom in Greece and other majority Orthodox countries, this article seeks to<br> locate the religion-national identity link within the grey area at the intersection between<br> religion and law. The voices of religious minority groups illustrate the blurred lines between<br> the benign and the pernicious in banal manifestations of the religion-national identity link<br> in the Greek context. Against the backdrop of the Greek example, the article then navigates<br> through normative debates about whether and how limitations t...

It highlights the transversal patterns found in the case study material, offering thereby further insights on the practices, tendencies and mechanisms leading to conflict or cohesion. The factors that can be identified as having more or less positive results in the direction of increased social cohesion are ambiguous. In terms of factors that lead to more or less negative results in terms of social cohesion between majorities and minorities, these are in many cases interrelated.

WaVE responds to the call for research on ‘Values and religions in Europe’, which invited studies aiming ‘to better understand the significance and impact of values and religions in societies across Europe and their roles in relation to changes in society’. WaVE proposed to grasp these somewhat vague and intangible notions by examining them through the prism of welfare. Specifically, the project aim was to focus on the domain of welfare provision (who provides what to whom, and for what reasons; and who seeks what, from whom and for what reasons) and to trace the impact of values and religions on majority-minority relations within this context. What patterns can we see in welfare provision which lead to greater social cohesion or to tensions within diverse societies? What te...

Феромагнетна фаза зі структурою типу Th 2 Zn 17 під тиском водню у 3,0 МПа і за температури у 700°C за умов звичайного ГД починає диспропорціонувати, а за умов солід-ГД-повністю диспропорціонує впродовж 1 год на SmH 2±x та дві поліморфні модифікації кобальту: ht-Co і rt-Co.

Phase transformations in the Sm 2 Co 16.81 V 0.19 , Sm 2 Co 16.43 V 0.57 and Sm 1.66 Co 16.77 V 0.57 alloys are investigated by means of the differential thermal and X-ray phase analyses during conventional and solid hydrogenation, disproportionation (HD) treatment under hydrogen pressure of 1.5-4.2 МPа and temperature up to 950°C. The slowdown of hydrogen-induced phase transformations due to partial substitution of cobalt for the vanadium is determined. The ferromagnetic phase with the Th 2 Zn 17-type structure starts to

This article examines the extent to which churches use welfare provision as a means of propelling themselves into the (secular) public sphere, versus their tendency to be pulled in to the welfare domain directly or indirectly by states and by welfare needs on the ground. These themes are of global relevance, and are explored here vis-a-vis the cases of Europe, the United States and South Africa.

Does welfare provision help lead to social cohesion between the majority society and immigrant minorities? Are existing majority-immigrant tensions abated, or exacerbated, by the welfare system? What is the role of welfare provision in relation to other integration factors such as labour market participation, naturalisation, and broadening conceptions of host society identity? These questions are addressed through in-depth qualitative research conducted in a Greek town. The research indicates that immigrant integration is largely influenced by local level policies and by immigrants’ daily encounters with people who carry these out.
