Religion, Law, and COVID-19 in Europe investigates how the pandemic and the subsequent legal restrictions influenced religious life in the region. The volume is based on 19 in-depth country case studies that combine legal and sociological analyses. By reflecting the plurality of religious and secular contexts, the volume details how the pandemic affected religious communities and challenged both religions and societies and how this was influenced by varying religious landscapes, political histories and legal cultures. More broadly, this edited volume reveals the importance of sudden, large-scale events in understanding religious change in the modern world.
Book Details“Slava Ukraini!” Strategy and the Spirit of Ukrainian Resistance tells the story of the volunteers lauded to have saved Ukraine twice. First in the spring of 2014 after the onset of the war in Donbas, and again in February 2022 after the large-scale Russian invasion. Aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, this volume makes significant contributions to our understanding of events in Ukraine over the past decade. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with volunteer battalion fighters, the volume focuses on strategy, or the creation, control, and use of force. In addition, “Slava Ukraini!” discusses the volunteers’ long-term sociological impact in Ukraine. While the volunteers may have initially exacerbated internal divisions in Ukraine, their spirit of 2014 also embodied the beginning of Ukrainian resistance, which in 2022 flared-up on a national scale.
