TL;DR: The report of the Committee of Reflection on the Application of the Principle of Secularity in the Republic with regard to cultural and religious diversity in the French Republic is presented in this article.
Abstract: Since the late twentieth century, republicanism has been the subject of renewed interest in contemporary political theory. In France, subsequent to 1989, this revival brought debates about cultural and religious diversity to the philosophical forefront. Thus, it is now possible to distinguish between a plurality of perspectives, each claiming specific interpretations of republicanism and each positioning itself differently to meet these cultural and religious challenges. This article situates the Report of the Committee of Reflection on the Application of the Principle of Secularity in the Republic with regard to these issues.

TL;DR: The relation entre le lib�ralisme, le r�publicanisme, and le multiculturalisme sous un ''clairage diff�rent'' is discussed in this article .
Abstract: Les th�ories normatives qui justifient les politiques multiculturelles sont souvent d�nonc�es comme �tant relativistes, conservatrices et anti-lib�rales. De telles politiques menaceraient en effet la coh�sion sociale et promouvraient la fragmentation sociale et l�in�galit� juridique en pla�ant les cultures au-dessus de la politique et les groupes au-dessus des individus. Elles se fonderaient sur un respect inconditionnel du droit � la diff�rence, en mettant l�accent sur les droits des minorit�s ethniques au d�triment de la majorit� et en s�attaquant � l��galit� de tous les citoyens devant la loi. Dans ce cadre, le multiculturalisme est souvent pr�sent� comme incompatible aussi bien avec le lib�ralisme qu�avec le r�publicanisme. Se voulant une introduction � six th�ories politiques de la diversit�, cet ouvrage pr�sente la relation entre le lib�ralisme, le r�publicanisme et le multiculturalisme sous un �clairage diff�rent. Au moyen d�une reconstruction et d�une clarification des th�ories politiques retenues il montre, d�une part, que le lib�ralisme et le r�publicanisme sont tous deux compatibles avec la prise en compte gouvernementale de la diversit� culturelle et religieuse, notamment en raison de l�adaptation de leurs principes fondamentaux � la r�alit� pluriculturelle contemporaine. D�autre part, il montre que les th�ories politiques examin�es sont difficilement concevables � la lumi�re de certaines critiques formul�es par les d�tracteurs des politiques multiculturelles.

TL;DR: A critical examination of the emergence and the strengths and weakness of this new and important field in politics and law can be found in this article, where a new hybrid field called "recognition and dialogue" is proposed.
Abstract: Over the past 50 years, both theory and practice regarding the struggle for recognition have developed relatively independently of deliberative and agonistic democracy, a related field. Over the last decade, however, these two fields have merged, because courts, legislatures, ministries and rival armies around the world have often turned the reconciliation of struggles for recognition over to various institutions and practices of negotiation and deliberation. The result is the emergence of a new hybrid field called “recognition and dialogue.” This paper is a critical examination of the emergence and the strengths and weakness of this new and important field in politics and law.

TL;DR: Nancy Fraser, professeure a la New School for Social Research a New York, est une auteure dont la pensee critique a fortement inspire les recents mouvements sociaux aux Etats-Unis as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Nancy Fraser, professeure a la New School for Social Research a New York, est une auteure dont la pensee critique a fortement inspire les recents mouvements sociaux aux Etats-Unis. Malheureusement, l’absence d’une traduction francaise de ses principaux ecrits a prive plusieurs lecteurs francophones d’un regard incontournable sur la modernite et la democratie. Le livre Qu’est-ce que la justice sociale ? (premiere edition en 2005) tente de corriger la situation et propose de decouvrir la pensee...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the evolution of the laicite francaise in the course of the last three decades, and propose a tournant substantialiste, i.e., the existence of a separation entre l’Etat and the cultes.
Abstract: La laicite francaise a connu un tournant au cours des trente dernieres annees. La loi du 9 decembre 1905 avait etabli une laicite liberale. Ce modele comportait une double face. D’abord, il etablissait une separation entre l’Etat et les cultes: le pouvoir ne pouvait desormais ni les reconnaitre, ni les subventionner. Ensuite, il accordait aux religions une complete liberte d’organisation et de communication. Or, au cours de ces dernieres decennies, la laicite s’est reconfiguree. L’Etat a etabli, d’une part, des dispositifs de reconnaissance inedits sur le terrain financier et symbolique; il a, d’autre part, introduit des mesures inedites de surveillance des cultes et de neutralisation de l’expression religieuse. On parle ici d’un « tournant substantialiste »: le gouvernement semble bien en effet vouloir s’eriger en garant d’une ethique sociale lourde, correspondant a ce que certains acteurs politiques et certains intellectuels nomment, depuis les annees 1980, l’ « identite francaise ». Cette contribution entend analyser cette mutation en s’arretant sur l’enchainement de trois phenomenes: la transformation des paysages religieux, l’evolution des discours politiques, la transformation des regles juridiques.
