While many modern nation states embrace religion as a general source of morality, they tend to conceive of religious diversity as a challenge for social cohesion. As a consequence, they pursue a variety of strategies of regulating and governing the religious field. The chapter will take a sociology of religion perspective on the governance of religious pluralism. Departing from a conceptual discussion of post-secularity, governance and national incorporation regimes, it will elaborate on different levels (European, national and regional) and models of governance (e.g. interfaith and contract governance). Based on a case study on Germany, the chapter will illustrate the interplay between historical trajectories, regulatory frameworks and different stages or patterns of religious pluralization as well as the chances and challenges of various governance models. In the conclusion, I will critically address the implications of religious governance for religious communities.
