Brief description of the Research Team / Research Group / Department
REDESOC is a well-established research group of Complutense University, with focus on the study of international, national and regional legal issues regarding the interrelation between State, society and religions/beliefs, from the perspective of the fundamental right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. A special attention is devoted to: the legal instruments to guarantee and facilitate religious and ethical pluralism in society; the interaction between religious freedom and other fundamental freedoms (in particular freedom of expression and the right to the respect of private and family life); and current conflicts in which the religious or ethical identity of individuals and groups is at stake. <br /><br />REDESOC collaborates regularly with other international and national institutions and research groups, especially in Europe and America (North and South), as well as with government and international agencies.<br /><br />Members of REDESOC edit the Revista General de Derecho Canónico y Derecho Eclesiástico del Estado (www.iustel.com), which is one of the most influential legal periodicals on law and religion issues within the scholarly community that speaks Latin languages.<br />
