Charles III ascended to the throne of the United Kingdom in 2022, after having long served as Prince of Wales. Over time, he has developed an original conception of the monarch’s role within a profoundly pluralistic society.

The monograph offers scholars and researchers in Law and Religion an analysis of a model of relations between State, institutions and faith communities which, though unique and not directly transferable beyond the British context, nonetheless serves as a valuable and thought-provoking point of comparison for continental models of State secularism.
Carlo III è salito al trono del Regno Unito nel 2022, dopo un lungo servizio come Principe del Galles. Nel corso del tempo egli ha sviluppato una concezione originale del ruolo del monarca in una società fortemente pluralistica. In particolare, si è interessato al problema della convivenza tra fedi, religiose e secolari, e all'importanza di queste per la società nel suo complesso. Lo studio indaga la genesi e le implicazioni di tali idee, che oggi guidano l'azione del sovrano, portandolo a reinterpreta in chiave inclusiva il ruolo di «Fidei Defensor» e a rimodulare gli stessi canoni comunicativi della Monarchia. La presente monografia scientifica propone agli studiosi dei rapporti tra diritto e religione l'analisi di un modello di rapporti tra istituzioni e comunità di fede che, pur se unico e non traducibile al di fuori del contesto britannico, costituisce tuttavia un utile e interessante termine di paragone per i modelli continentali di laicità dello Stato.

Abstract
Charles III ascended to the throne of the United Kingdom in 2022, after having long served as Prince of Wales. Over time, he has developed an original conception of the monarch’s role within a profoundly pluralistic society. In particular, he has shown a sustained interest in the issue of coexistence among religious and secular faiths, and in the significance of such belief systems for society as a whole. This study explores the origins and implications of these ideas, which now inform the King’s public engagement and lead him to reinterpret, in an inclusive manner, the role of “Defender of the Faith”, as well as to reshape the Monarchy’s public discourse. The monograph offers scholars and researchers in Law and Religion an analysis of a model of relations between State, institutions and faith communities which, though unique and not directly transferable beyond the British context, nonetheless serves as a valuable and thought-provoking point of comparison for continental models of State secularism.| File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
