Islamic Religious Education is a dynamic new discipline in German higher education, evolving alongside Islamic Theological Studies and the expansion of religious instruction in schools. This series bridges theory and practice by developing optimized learning processes for a pluralistic society. Closely linked to interreligious pedagogy, it intentionally embeds Islamic contexts into dialogical settings with other traditions to foster encounter, shared responsibility, and deeper interreligious reflection. We explore the full spectrum of Islamic Religious Education—from schools to community spaces. Our goal is to highlight concepts that enable collaborative learning among people of all religious and secular backgrounds, providing the theoretical and practical tools to meet today’s educational challenges. We provide a high-profile stage for cutting-edge research, including innovative dissertations and habilitation theses, monographs, edited volumes, and conference proceedings.

Many smaller polities are well known both for their special achievements as well as for particular problems of democratic governance. The political and scientific relevance of these experiences reaches well beyond the borders of the countries immediately concerned. For this reason, the study of smaller countries has long become a constituent part of international democracy and governance research. This series creates a forum specifically dedicated to the analysis of politics and democratic governance in the smaller European countries including their international aspects. The series encompasses case studies as well as comparative contributions whose focus is not necessarily strictly confined to the family of smaller democracies in Europe. The international team of accomplished editors ensures that volumes published in this series will meet the highest standards of international research.
