DESCRIPTION:Researching Religions & Politics – Young German Perspectives
 \nPanel Chair: Ulf Plessentin\nPolitical conditions often had and still ha
 ve a profound influence on religious groups. Likewise\, religious groups e
 ndeavour to impact politics\, policy-making\, and politicians\, both in pa
 st and present times. Topics in the nexus of religion and politics are the
 refore an integral part of any scientific study of religions. Novel and in
 teresting research has been conducted by sociologists\, political scientis
 ts and scholars of religious studies over the last decade. Due to their cr
 oss-cultural and historical perspectives\, religious studies can contribut
 e fruitfully to ongoing academic discussions. In order to provide a platfo
 rm that unites different approaches\, a working group on religions and pol
 itics was founded within the DVRW\, the German section of IAHR. In this pa
 nel\, young scholars present their research\, especially on processes of a
 daptation to and transformation of political structures. Additionally\, th
 e mechanisms by which political conditions foster innovative or traditiona
 l religious structures and practices shall be discussed.\nWith:\n\nThomas
