Working paper on legal pluralism and religion published
In EViR Working Paper No. 12 entitled ‘Legal Pluralism and Religion in Early Modern History: The Case of Ireland’, Matthias Bähr argues that legal norms intended to ensure legal homogeneity in the field of Anglican canon law produced more rather than less legal diversity and thus failed to achieve their goal. Against the backdrop of massive confessional contrasts, the processes of legal harmonisation that were examined encouraged the actors to engage in creative ‘workarounds’. Above all, private law contracts undermined the intended unification of law and neutralised Anglican canon law in certain situations without calling it into question in principle.
