Religion and Politics in Post-Socialist Central and Southeastern Europe cover

This volume examines the political engagement of religious associations in the post-socialist countries of Central and Southeastern Europe, with a focus on revelations about the collaboration of clergy with the communist-era secret police, intolerance, and controversies about the inclusion of religious instruction in the schools.

“The book examines how religious associations, societies and governments have reacted to and function in the new post-1989 political, legal and socio-economic environment … . The wealth of information provided by the authors is vast, and paints a clear picture of the differences in the ways in which religious institutions adapted to post-1989 challenges. … the volume presents a much needed examination of the changes in the religious landscape after the collapse of communism in Central and southeastern Europe.” (Tamara Pavasovic Trost, Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, August, 2016)
