Secularization, Religiosity, And The United States Constitution, Christopher L. Eisgruber
Secularization, Religiosity, And The United States Constitution, Christopher L. Eisgruber
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This article draws upon leading works in the sociology of religion to assess what I shall call "the secularization claim" regarding the United States. It endeavors, in particular to clarify the possible meanings of "secularization,"and then to use these conceptual refinements to examine what sort of evidence exists that the United States has been secularized. Though it is not possible to falsify every version of the secularization claim, there is little evidence to support it, especially in its most prominent and politically relevant variations. The article then goes on to offer a preliminary analysis of to what extent, if any, …

U. S. Immigration In A Global Context: Past, Present, And Future, Jeffrey S. Passel, Michael Fix
U. S. Immigration In A Global Context: Past, Present, And Future, Jeffrey S. Passel, Michael Fix
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Through the use of their own empirical studies, the authors
address three themes: 1) immigration in the global context; 2) the
scale and characteristics of immigration to the United States; and
3) the. expected future impact of immigration to the United States.
The authors focus on U.S. immigration by giving an empirical
comparative history which suggests that, while the sheer number of
immigrants to the United States has grown, the share of foreignborn
people in the U.S. population is well below historic highs.
Next they discuss the characteristics of recent and current
immigrants to the United States in terms of …

Changing Sovereignty Games And International Migration, Aristide R. Zolberg
Changing Sovereignty Games And International Migration, Aristide R. Zolberg
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this article, Professor Zolberg argues that today's
immigration issues should be analyzed within their historical bases.
He follows the formation of the modern State, with particularfo cus
on the legal and political meaning of "sovereignty" as understood
in pre-colonial times down to the World War II period. He next
identifies several late twentieth century phenomena in Europe and
elsewhere, many of which pose serious challenges to long-standing
notions of nationhood and citizenship. The author concludes that
despite the recent development of borderless markets and
communication infrastructures, much remains to be done to build a
truly global community.

Global Migration - Immigration - Multiethnicity: Challenges To The Concept Of The Nation-State, Jost Delbruck
Global Migration - Immigration - Multiethnicity: Challenges To The Concept Of The Nation-State, Jost Delbruck
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Professor Delbriick begins his article by briefly discussing the
history and development of the nation-state, and then examines how
changes in the political and social environment, often international
and cross-cultural in nature, have altered the traditional notion of
the nation-state. He argues that the modern form of the State
should be based on the concept of the "Open Republic, " rather than
on that of the traditional closed, self-centered, and self-reliant
nation-state. Professor Delbriick demands that his concept of an
"Open Republic" first be grounded in the form of a republican
State-a constitutional government involving the democratic
participation of all …
