Gray on Religion & Stability

By Lawrence Solum

ADVERTISEMENTS

David C. Gray (University of Maryland - School of Law) has posted Constitutional Faith and Dynamic Stability: Thoughts on Religion, Constitutions and Transitions to Democracy (Maryland Law Review, Vol. 69, p. 26, 2009) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

This essay, written for the 2009 Constitutional Schmooze, explores the complex role of religion as a source of both stability and instability. Drawing on a broader body of work in transitional justice, this essay argues that religion has an important role to play in the complex web of overlapping associations and oppositions constitutive of a dynamically stable society and further contends that constitutional protections which encourage a diversity of religions provide the best hope of harnessing that potential while limiting the dangers of religion evidenced in numerous cases of mass atrocity.
