Religion as Securitization in Central and Eastern Europe examines the significance of securitization theory as a reference point in understanding current religious, socio-cultural, and political processes in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).It explores contemporary social processes and discourses on security linked to religion and religious institutions. CEE has experienced many confluences of security issues with religious interpretations and world views. For instance, the international refugee and migration crisis could not be separated from the counterpoint between Christianity and Islam in political discussions. Similarly, the debates on LGBT family recognition and the traditional family model are inseparable from the “Christian family” as a reference point. The security needs of the region are particularly acute trigger points, which can be instrumentalized by political power. In other words, the threat sensitivities of collective identity make the region particularly well suited to being a focus of securitization, both from the host side and from the discourses that are enforced from above. In this volume, the authors approach the validity of securitization in relation to religion, and religion itself as securitization, from a broader perspective. They show not only what religious facts and aspects have become threatening in the process of securitization but also that the function of religion in the CEE region can be described and understood primarily as securitization. This unique collection of studies offers a comprehensive theoretical and methodological approach, while the case studies are drawn from more than seven countries in the region, by leading scholars.The book will be of interest to scholars from a wide range of disciplines including political science, history, anthropology, and religious studies. It will also function as an important introductory work for students to this specific area of research.

Different religious groups in Central and Eastern Europe influenced societies in the region after the fall of Communism and continue to play a crucial role in culture, politics, social networks and value transformations. As part of the REVACERN (Religion and Values in Central and Eastern Europe Research Network) project – supported by the EU Sixth Framework Program – more than 70 researchers from 15 countries in the region analyzed and discussed the most important trends in values, religions and religious communities and presented their findings in a comparative way. They tested well-known theories of secularization, nationalism, democracy and pluralism in the colorful region Central and Eastern Europe. This book summarizes their most important findings in seven chapters, addressing religion and its entanglements with geography, values, nationalism, Orthodoxy, education, legal regulation, civil society, social networks, new religious movements and new forms of religiosity. Each chapter also provides a regional overview.

People observe and transgress religious borders when they relate with faith and other faiths, when they shape communities, when they make decisions. A group of researchers have joined an inquiry into the forces of religious closure and openness in present-day Central and Eastern Europe. The volume is a result of a research community constituted within the REVACERN project – Religion and Values in Central and Eastern Europe Research Network, supported by the 6th framework program of the European Union. Chapters are structured in three sections, focusing on individual experiences of religion and spirituality, on religious elites, and on the interaction of religion with politics. Sociology, political science and history are triangulated to render a clear understanding of the individual experiences of religion and secularity, and of the strategic choices of religious and political elites, taking readers along an exploration of religious identity and otherness.

Ostmitteleuropa rückte nach dem Fall des Kommunismus in den Vordergrund der wirtschaftlichen und politischen Interessen. Die früheren Ostblockstaaten versuchten ihre Unabhängigkeit zu verifizieren, viele neuen Staaten entstanden, Europa wurde bunter, damit auch komplizierter. Die Zweiteilung Europas ist seit 30 Jahren vorüber, aber das brachte keine Homogenität des Kontinents mit sich, sondern vielmehr eine Vielfalt und eine beachtliche Menge von ungelösten historischen Fragen auf die Tagesordnung. Was sind die wichtigsten Charakteristiken dieser Region, wie sind sie zu verstehen und was sind die Konsequenzen davon? Diese Fragen bewegen heutzutage viele Verantwortliche in Europa. Dieses Buch versucht eine Antwort auf diese Fragen zu geben, und zwar aufgrund der Autopoiese der Gesellschaften der Region und durch die Konzentration auf die Transformationen des Religiösen.Der InhaltDie Region OstmitteleuropaVerwundungReligion – Kirche – TheologieDie ZielgruppenStudierende und Dozierende der Soziologie sowie Sozial- und ReligionswissenschaftenDer AutorAndrás Máté-Tóth ist Professor für Religionswissenschaft an der Universität Szeged.
