Whilst these domains are now controlled by the state and the formal authority of religious communities in the political sphere has diminished, their impact on value systems, individual behaviour and the implementation of policies remains substantial. Examining a diverse array of morality policies – including abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, prostitution and religious education - in six democratic countries, and from the perspective of Catholic, Protestant and Islamic religious groups, the book considers the extent to which religious organisations engage with the policy process, and the different forms of engagement. It argues that religious organisations play an important role in indirectly governing morality policies through their involvement in the implementation of policies. Acting as intermediaries between the state and citizens, they significantly influence how morality policies are implemented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will appeal to all those interested in public policy, morality policy, policy implementation, and the politics of religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEva-Maria Euchner\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor at Fliedner University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf, Germany.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIrina Ciornei\u003c\/strong\u003e is Ramon y Cajal Assistant Professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032413826\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55562838737036,"sku":"9783032413826","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032413826","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
