Resumen
Descripción
El texto examina el entramado de relaciones que se establecen entre diversidad cultural, derechos humanos y laicidad en le mundo globalizado actual. Al observar los conflictos que ocurrieron en diversos lugares del mundo advierte como la religión se suma a las identidades nacionales y lingüísticas en pugna, reabriendo la necesidad de un análisis de los vínculos entre política y religión, más allá de la promulgada laicidad que caracteriza a los gobiernos de occidente.
Luego profundiza en el concepto de nación, pasando desde una nacionalidad basada en etnos a outra fundada en demos, a las cuales corresponden diferentes conceptos jurídicos de ciudadanía. Continúa con una descripción de la conformación de los estados laicos de Gran Bretaña y Francia, los cuales se caracterizaron por separar lo religioso de lo político,
Los estados multiculturales de nuestra época deben garantizar el respeto a la diferencia cultural y religiosa para un ejercicio efectivo de los derechos humanos, lo cual requiere de políticas sociales, educativas y culturales de carácter intercultural. Considera que en el mundo globalizado de hoy este problema adquiere profunda relevancia y exige elaborar una nueva ética global.
The text examines the network of relationships established between cultural diversity, human rights and laicity the present globalized world. When looking at the conflicts that took place in different parts of the globe, it notices how religion joins to clashing national and linguistic identities, reopening the need of an analysis of the links between politics and religion, beyond the proclaimed laicity that characterized the Western governments. The article then analyzes in depth the concept of nation, from a nationality based on the ethnos to another founded on demos, to which correspond different legal concepts. It continues with a description of the constitution of the secular States of Great Britain and France, which where characterized by separating the religious and political spheres. The multicultural States of our time must guarantee the respect for cultural and religious difference to enable a genuine exercise of human rights, situation which requires social, cultural and educational policies of intercultural nature. In today's globalized world this problem acquires a profound relevance and demands the construction of a new global ethics.
