To what extent, how and under what conditions do global or transnational interreligious dialogues between representatives of Christians and Muslims contribute to the understanding about the norm of the freedom of religion? With this question the project devotes itself to an uninvestigated topic in the German-speaking political scientific research. The uppermost objective is to find out which influence originates from interreligious dialogues, under which causal mechanisms and action logics they work and whether they contribute at all to the understanding about argumentative norm contents. The authoritative point for the content regulation of the norm of the freedom of religion show the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the legal instruments (e. g., the Civil Pact of 1966) which were developed in the United Nations and different declarations and resolutions which concretize the positive and negative religious freedom. The project examines in which appearances and functionalities interreligious dialogues at global level are given and whether it comes to understanding- or rhetorical-oriented discourses. Besides, it investigates how relevant interreligious dialogues are for the possible development of a common norm understanding. In a causal-analytic perspective it is asked under which conducive or limitative conditions the interreligious dialogue contributes to the understanding of the norm and how this contribution is to be valued from a normative perspective. It also becomes a critically question whether interreligious dialogues can generate generally an understanding. It is not excluded that the supposed dialogue effects are very limited, appear only with relatively big temporal delay or are even partly conflict-aggravating. The project goes back to discourse-theoretical, cognitive and institutionalist approaches and, in addition, considers approaches of softer forms of political steering. It is based on a deductive research design which rests on hypotheses about supposed effects of the dialogue to interreligious settlement (e. g., deliberation, trust / reconciliation, interreligious learning). The main focus of the empirical analysis lies at the level of transnational dialogue initiatives.The hypotheses structure the systematic comparison of 4 case studies to interreligious dialogue initiatives: i) UN Alliance of Civilizations (AoC), ii) A Common Word (ACW), iii) Religions for Peace (RfP), and iv) Internationally association for Religious Freedom (IARF). The empirical case study research is based among other things on the analysis of documents of secondary literature and on qualitative interviews with representatives of interreligious dialogue initiatives and chosen dialogue parties.

基督徒和穆斯林代表之间的全球或跨国宗教间对话在何种程度上以及在何种条件下有助于理解宗教自由的规范？带着这个问题，本课题致力于德语政治学研究中一个尚未被研究的课题。最重要的目标是找出哪些影响来自宗教间对话，在何种因果机制和行动逻辑下，他们的工作，以及他们是否有助于在所有的理解有关的争论规范的内容。宗教自由规范的内容规定的权威点表现在《世界人权宣言》（1948年）、法律的文书（如《世界人权宣言》）、《世界人权宣言》（1948年）、《世界人权宣言》（1949年）、《世界人权宣言》（1949年）、《世界人权宣言》（1949年）和《世界人权宣言》（1949年）。例如，在一个实施例中，1966年的《公民公约》（Civil Pact of 1966）以及具体化积极和消极宗教自由的各种宣言和决议。该项目研究了全球一级宗教间对话的外观和功能，以及它是否涉及以理解或宗教为导向的话语。此外，它还调查了宗教间对话对可能发展共同规范理解的相关性。从因果分析的角度来看，问题是宗教间对话在哪些有利或限制性条件下有助于理解规范，以及如何从规范的角度评价这种贡献。宗教间对话能否普遍产生谅解也成为一个关键问题。不排除所谓的对话效果非常有限，只是在相对较大的时间延迟后才出现，甚至部分加剧冲突。该项目可以追溯到话语理论，认知和制度主义的方法，此外，还考虑了更软形式的政治指导方法。 它是基于一个演绎研究设计，该设计依赖于关于对话对宗教间解决的假设影响的假设（例如，例如，在一个实施例中，审议、信任/和解、宗教间学习）。实证分析的主要重点是在跨国对话倡议的水平上，假设结构的系统比较4个案例研究宗教间对话倡议：一）联合国不同文明联盟（AoC），二）共同的世界（ACW），三）和平使者（RfP），和四）国际宗教自由协会（IARF）。实证案例研究除其他外，基于对二手文献文件的分析以及对宗教间对话倡议和选定对话方代表的定性访谈。
