Zusatztext Will make a substantial contribution to the scholarly work that is rediscovering the religious and political background of federal republicanism and its importance for the development of democratic forms of governance in varied institutions and societies around the world. Klappentext In the past decade! the struggle for new forms of federal order and public life has exploded in central Europe! the former Soviet Union! and South Africa. Religious traditions and organizations have played a crucial role in these revolutions! and have also been critical to the establishment ofconstitutional orders in post-colonial countries like India. Moreover! they continue to undergird and to challenge the understanding of public life in the United States! whether in church-state conflicts or Native American religious claims. William Everett examines the role of religious traditionsin the development of modern federal republicanism! seeking answers to such questions as: How have patterns of religious organization shaped federal republican orders? How do different cultures weave together these political and religious threads into a living fabric that fits their own culturalheritage? How are Western religious traditions of covenant and conciliarism relevant for understanding religion and constitutional developments in non-Western cultures? The author argues that a better comparative grasp of these dynamics is essential to our understanding of the establishment! sustenance! and development of federal republican governance. He presents! as a first step toward this goal! a detailed and comparative study of these patterns in India! Germany! and the United States.

He argues that a better comparative grasp of political and religious dynamics is essential to our understanding of the establishment, sustenance, and development of federal republican governance in both Western and non-Western cultures....
