This panel aims at investigating some of the main trends affecting the established paradigms to govern religion in the European space and determining their changes. It will do so through four case studies covering different aspects and enlightening different dimensions of such paradigm changes. The first one is a Spanish national case study and will focus on the peculiarities of the governance of religious freedom in that country, with attention to those paradigmatic aspects that may elicit Italian attention de iure condendo. The second paper will focus on religious rules and the way they change (i.e., the way they provide for a specific normative setting to which faithful are asked to align their behavior) and are changed (i.e., the way they respond to contemporary challenges shacking the established order or knowledge), as regards specifically the emergence of new technologies and their economic impact. The last two papers deal with religious minorities: one examines the extent to which the traditional forms of protection of religious minorities are affected and endangered by the identity crisis and the feeling of insecurity, which the largest part of European populations is experiencing; the other one assesses the case law of the two supranational European courts (the CJEU and the ECtHR) and the evaluation they give of the domestic patterns of governance of religious minorities.
