English summary: Religious groups and movements are decisive participants in the shape and dynamic of social developments: they are incorporated in complex power relationships as well as conflicts and processes of negotiation concerning the interpretation of social power and the negotiation of acceptable lifestyles and identities. Religious minorities have an important meaning not only in the contested areas between dominance and marginalization, but also between faith and disbelief or atheism and in the processes of religious pluralization, individualization, and secularization. The analysis of religious minorities is indispensable to the understanding of social and political processes: In which relationship do religious minorities and majorities relate to each other and on the basis of what dynamics do religious communities obtain a higher social status or the loss of the same? How do social changes and public perceptions of the self and other affect religious communities? What influence do religious communities have on social changes and power processes? The collected articles in this volume offer in the content and disciplinary variety a nuanced view into the understanding of religious and social dynamics of conflict between minorities and majorities but also within religious traditions, as well as those between religions and secular traditions. German description: Religiose Gruppierungen und Bewegungen sind an der Gestaltung und der Dynamik gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen entscheidend mitbeteiligt: Sie sind eingebunden in komplexe Machtverhaltnisse sowie in Auseinandersetzungen und Aushandlungsprozesse um gesellschaftlich wirkmachtige Deutungsmuster, akzeptierte Lebensstile und Identitaten. Religiosen Minderheiten kommt dabei im Spannungsfeld von Dominanz und Marginalisierung zwischen den Religionen, aber auch zwischen Glaube versus Unglaube/Atheismus und in Prozessen der religiosen Pluralisierung, Individualisierung und Sakularisierung eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Fur das Verstandnis gesellschaftlicher und politischer Prozesse unabdingbar ist die Analyse der Dynamik religioser Minderheiten: In welchem Verhaltnis stehen religiose Minderheiten und Mehrheiten zueinander und aufgrund welcher Dynamiken erlangen religiose Gemeinschaften einen hoheren gesellschaftlichen Status oder verlieren diesen? Wie wirken gesellschaftliche Veranderungen und offentliche Wahrnehmung auf die Selbst- und Fremdzuschreibungen von religiosen Gemeinschaften? Welchen Einfluss uben religiose Gemeinschaften auf gesellschaftliche Wandlungs- und Machtprozesse aus? Die in diesem Band versammelten Beitrage liefern in ihrer inhaltlichen und disziplinaren Vielfalt einen vertieften Einblick in das Verstandnis religioser und gesellschaftlicher Konfliktdynamiken zwischen religiosen Mehrheiten und Minderheiten, aber auch innerhalb religioser Traditionen sowie in das Verhaltnis von Religionen und sakularen Traditionen.
