Preliminary remarks on the Palestinian legal system to the test of the relation between law and religions

ABSTRACT: The aim of this essay is to shape a very first physiognomy of the political and religious Palestinian system. While international current events seem to concentrate especially on the hypotheses of formal State recognition for the Palestinian territories, a different approach to the study of that legal order and the associative forms that make it distinctive might improve the knowledge of the ongoing claims and the petitions for pacification. The analytical purpose consists in underlining a general framework much more articulate and diversified: not a vague, monolithic, block, but an everyday changing combination of interests and belongings never disregarding the relationships between law and religion.

SOMMARIO: 1. Una premessa sui contenuti dell’analisi: la necessità di un approccio differente dalle contingenze politiche - 2. Demografia religiosa e pluralità sostanziale in un territorio controverso - 3. Rappresentanza e movimenti sociali: un quadro in divenire - 4. Possibili considerazioni conclusive: la riemersione della statualità e l’attualità delle proposte di autonomia nel dibattito interno e internazionale

Populism and Religion: Freedom of Self-Expression, State, modernity

Igor V. Ponkin — 2024-06-14

Populismo e religione: Libertà di autoespressione, politica, modernità, caratteristiche procedurali

ABSTRACT: The article is devoted to the topic of populism in religion in modern conditions. The article explains the correlation between freedom of expression and populism. The authors consider the phenomenon of populism in various aspects, including: populism as an instrument of politicization of a religious organization, populism as a latent component of internally sacralized (though outwardly neutral) politics. For many centuries, the ruling regimes of various states have sought and tried to put the Church at the service of their political interests, trying to use the churches in their own domestic and even foreign policy games, related attempts to manipulate religious identities and engage in artificial "church-building", to turn churches into handy ideological tools in the service of power - all this was a hybridization of political populism and religious populism tailored to it. But under such conditions, religious populism is always a forced imposition of tendencies destructive to the Church, it is always a profanation of the religious, the destruction of the most fundamental foundations of religion. But equally, the Church must be protected on the other side - from populist attempts to infringe on the Church's corpus of values, on relics and names honored by the rhetoric of freedom of expression. The authors conclude that populism (as a socio-legal tool, which is based on the paradigm of populism) should be used very cautiously - in the sphere of religion in a secular state.
