ABSTRACT
Negotiation is an illuminating lens through which to understand contemporary debates about religious diversity in liberal societies. There are risks in what Lee refers to in the introduction to this volume as ‘triumphalist’ negotiation by secularists ‘around’ religion that marginalises its significance as well as ‘constructive engagement’ with religious authorities that leave unequal distributions of power unchallenged. Nevertheless, as the contributions in this volume make clear, a focus on negotiation can widen analysis in productive ways.
