Beschreibung:
<jats:p> The legal framework applicable to religions is composed of many infra-administrative regulations and shaped by the adaptation of old legislative norms to the contemporary context. The result is that law and religion fall within the scope of a certain conception of soft law, such as resorting to negotiation in the margins of legislative texts. The issue of religious heritage perfectly illustrates the process, which consists in building and updating a legal status according to the historical, social and political circumstances. The enhancement of religious heritage in particular rests on mechanisms typical of soft law. </jats:p>
