European Congess: Dialogue and Concertation between philosophies of life/religions and the Public authorities in Europe

The Catholic University of Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) and the Hoger Instituut voor Levensbeschouwing, Overheid en Samenleving (HILOS) (Ghent, Belgium) welcome you to an european congress

DIALOGUE AND CONCERTATION BETWEEN PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE/RELIGIONS AND THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES IN EUROPE
CHALLENGES AND LIMITS OF NEW FORMS OF GOVERNANCE

BELGIUM, GHENT, 9-10 MARCH 2010 and LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVE, 11-12 MARCH 2010

Two kinds of issues will be tackled by this pluridisciplinary colloquium:

1. How do the international organisations or the European nations take into account or mobilise the resources produced by several forms of interreligious dialogues, even by redefining them?

2. How do the actors of interreligious dialogue react to the expectations or the attention given to their religious action by the
international organisations? Does this involve a simple game of instrumentalisation, in one way or two directions? Or are the influences much deeper, either substantial or procedural?
