This volume presents a global examination of how a number of contemporary societies are regulating religious groups. It focuses on legal efforts to exert social control over such groups, especially through court cases, but also with selected major legislative attempts to regulate them. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in the sociology of religion, the sociology of law, social policy, and religious studies as well as policymakers.
