The lessons of the ‘Nookat events’: central government,local officials and religious protests in Kyrgyzstan

As Muslim communities reassert themselves in public life across the world, including Central Asia, their actions are causing tension in relations with ‘secular’ governments. Various global theories have been offered to explain these dynamics. According to one theory, tension between religious communities and secular states is caused by the exclusion or marginalization of Muslims, a process exacerbated by the perceived anti-Muslim bias in the foreign- and domestic-security policies of Central Asian states. A second view is that tension results from the work of global extremist groups espousing the restoration of an Islamic Caliphate. The third approach presents the rising tension as part of a broader trend: a putative clash of Western and Muslim civilizations. This article challenges these theories by using a case study of a Muslim grassroots protest in Kyrgyzstan to highlight the importance of local politics, namely informal arrangements among local officials, power brokers and community members. In so doing, it seeks to make a contribution to theorizing Muslim–state relations in Central Asia.     

元以来历朝对藏传佛教宗教事务的法律调整及其历史启示——藏传佛教宗教事务的法律化研究之一

西藏自元朝正式纳入统一国家版图,至此,全国藏区成为统一国家的一部分。藏传佛教到元朝时已发展成为藏区的主流宗教信仰,并且影响着藏区各方面的事务。因此,对藏传佛教宗教事务的不断规制和调整就成为元以来历朝对藏政治策略的首要任务。鉴于这种重要性,元以来历朝中央政权对藏传佛教宗教事务进行了一系列的政策实施和立法调整,主要包括册封宗教首领、礼遇喇嘛,设置中央和地方专门管理机构,扶持建立地方政教合一政权,规范限定宗教首领世俗权力、规制大活佛转世的立法等方面。这些政策法规的实施不断强化了统一国家主权、保持了藏区社会稳定、促进了藏区经济相对发展。在当今复杂的国内外形势下,这些政策法规对国家如何管理藏传佛教宗教事务和藏传佛教如何谋求自身发展有着重要借鉴意义。     

Religion and National Identity in America and Europe

America and Europe have had very different religious experiences, and these differences have continuing consequences. In America, the preponderance of Reform Protestantism gave rise to religious and political pluralism, a religious marketplace, and the continuing vitality of the churches. In Europe, the dominance of state churches gave rise to the eventual rejection of these churches and religions when the traditional political and social authorities were rejected, particularly by the Generation of 1968. However, Europe’s extreme secularization has rendered it confused and ineffective in dealing with the new religious challenge posed by Muslim immigrant communities.
