Zusammenfassung

Public authorities in Europe are faced with increasing demands to accommodate religious diversity. This text traces some key issues concerning the limits of the secular State in Europe to accept and accommodate those ethno-religious minorities that are perceived to be partially different entities and claim some jurisdiction without thereby rejecting guarantees from the receiving official legal system. The migratory process that we are experiencing in Europe, in the last decades, reveals a change of direction from south to north, which is beginning to influence the legal systems of the European countries that receive this migration in different ways. Although the strength of legal monism has prevented the phenomenon from becoming immediately apparent, migration subjects the law to new interpretations and enables the development of emergent hybrid structures and complementary systems that bring to light complex forms of cultural transposition. This essay aims to be a starting point for analyzing EU proposals by asking questions such as: Are European institutions in favour of integration? Can constitutional frameworks open possibilities to address plurality and the intermingling of normativities? To what extent should European societies accommodate, and if so, how should they set about doing so, and within what limits?
