Bruce
Ledewitz. Church, state, and the crisis in American secularism.
Indiana University Press, c2011. KF4865.L43
2011 Since 1947, the Supreme Court has promised government
neutrality toward religion, but the public square is anything but neutral.
This book seeks common ground for believers and nonbelievers regarding the
law of church and state. The author argues that allowing government to
promote higher law values through the use of religious imagery would resolve
the current impasse in the interpretation of the Establishment Clause. It
would offer secularism an escape from its current tendency toward relativism
in its dismissal of all that religion represents and encourage a deepening of
the expression of meaning in the public square without compromising secular
conceptions of government. |

Ruben
Zaiotti. Cultures of border control : Schengen and the evolution of
European frontiers. University of Chicago Press, c2011. KZ3684.5.E85Z35
2011 In recent years, a number of European countries abolished national border controls in favor of Europe’s external frontiers. In doing so, they challenged long-established conceptions of sovereignty, territoriality, and security in world affairs. In this book, the author traces the transformation of underlying assumptions and cultural practices guiding European policymakers and postnational Europe. The book also includes a fascinating comparison to developments in North America, where the United States has pursued more restrictive border control strategies since 9/11. |
