Associative Democracy: From 'the real third way' back to utopianism or towards a colourful socialism for the 21st century
Associative Democracy (AD) has been developed as a specific response to statist socialism and neoliberal capitalism, drawing on older traditions such as associationalism, democratic socialism, and cooperative socialism. As the 'real third way', it is distinct from neoliberal privatization and deregulation in the Blair-Schröder varieties of social democracy and in the conservative Reagan-Thatcher-Cameron varieties. This article summarizes what see…
Raising Claims and Dealing with Claims in a ‘Mobile World’ of ‘Superdiversity’: Institutions and Policies of Accommodation under Pressure
Global migration has become more diversified and also the settlement, citizenship and integration package has changed. These changes have important consequences for cultures and identity-definitions, for the socio-political conditions of collective action and claims-making, for established institutional policy-patterns and dealing with claims, for citizenship and democratic representation, and for theories of multiculturalism. My focus is on chan…
Democratic inclusion in polities and governance arrangements
Secularisms or Liberal-Democratic Constitutionalism
This chapter begins with the concepts “secular,” “secularity,” “secularization,” and “secularism” and summarizes core results of social science studies into the changing role of religions in contemporary societies, Then it discusses problems with the construction of models of the governance of religious diversity in the social sciences and presents some empirically grounded normative models of relations between (organized) religions and societies…
Crisis of political parties and representative democracies: Rethinking parties in associational, experimentalist governance
The contrast between the normative functions of political parties in representative democracies and their empirical working is stark and rapidly increasing. This article starts from a sober, realist account of the empirical state of affairs and from structural problems of democracy and participations – in terms of limits of time, information, qualification and relevant expertise – that have to be acknowledged by any realist–utopian proposal of al…
Introduction: Parties, partisanship and political theory
As E. E. Schattschneider once remarked, political parties are ‘the orphans of political philosophy’ (Schattschneider 1942, p. 10). It is surprising that despite the growing number of scholars deali

Non-governmental religious schools in Europe: Institutional opportunities, associational freedoms, and contemporary challenges
The European Convention on Human Rights guarantees freedom of education, including opportunities to create and operate faith-based schools. But as European societies become religiously more diverse and ‘less religious’ at the same time, the role of religious schools increasingly is being contested. Serious tensions have emerged between those who ardently support religious schools in various forms and those who oppose them. Given that faith-based …
Parties, Partisanship and Political Theory
Free Speech or Non-discrimination as Trump? Reflections on Contextualised Reasonable Balancing and Its Limits
This article reflects on the long-standing debate on free speech and its limitations. Starting with conceptual, theoretical, empirical and normative clarifications of contested issues such as what kind of communication is at stake and how to define the limits of freedoms of political communication, its main thrust is to demonstrate that the traditional confrontation of ‘US Free-Speech Absolutism’ versus ‘the Rest’ is empirically and normatively m…
Reasonable accommodations for religion or belief as a challenge in contemporary European societies
Religious diversity and reasonable accommodation in the workplace in six European countries: An introduction
After a period during which many in the West, especially Europe, expected religion to progressively fade away from public life, for various reasons religion has, over the last two decades, re-established itself as a phenomenon to be reckoned with in the globalized West. It has also become a favoured research topic for, amongst others, social scientists and legal scholars. While the European Union (EU) has a limited competency when it comes to mat…
Sciences, politics, and associative democracy: Democratizing science and expertizing democracy
Relations between science and politics are under pressure because urgent problems create an increasing external demand on sciences while inside sciences the old idea that “science speaks truth to politics” is increasingly seen as unfeasible and undesirable. We are not forced to choose between such an objectivist and a skepticist model. Associative democracy provides more fruitful interactions between sciences and politics in order to “democratize…
Colonial and Post-Colonial Governance of Islam: Continuities and Ruptures
Colonial and post-colonial governance of Islam" is een heldere weergave van de kansen en belemmeringen voor de islam vanuit een bestuurlijke benadering met speciale aandacht voor de voortdurende strijd rond de codificatie van islamitisch onderwijs, religieuze autoriteit, wetgeving en praktijk. De auteurs onderzoeken de overeenkomsten en verschillen van de islam in het Britse, Franse en Portugese koloniale bestuur. Zij maken gebruik van hun expert…
Moral, Ethical, and Realist Dilemmas of Transnational Governance of Migration
A core feature of the emerging international governance of migration is the reliance on knowledge and science in elaborating policies. Yet how scientists and researchers can productively contribute to policy making is unclear. This is the result of knowledge uncertainty, the complexity of migration dynamics, and the unintended and counterproductive consequences policies. If research cannot say what "should be done," it may tell policy makers what…
Colonial and Post-Colonial Governance of Islam: Continuities and Ruptures
The contributors analyse the mutual impact of colonial and postcolonial governance on the development, organisation and mobilisation of Islam paying special attention to the ongoing battles over the codification of Islamic education, religious authority, law and practice while outlining the similarities and differences, the continuities and ruptures in British, French and Portuguese colonial rule in Islamic regions. Using a shared conceptual fram…
Complex Legitimacy in Compound Polities: The Eu as Example
Compound polities such as the EU combine multilevel governance (MLG) and multilevel polities (MLPs). They are said to suffer from serious democracy deficits. I argue that legitimacy is more complex and propose to clearly distinguish and acknowledge serious trade-offs between constitutional (liberal), democratic and output legitimacy. It is urgent to inquire whether it is possible and, if so, how to make compound polities both more constitutional …
Global justice in complex moral worlds. Dilemmas of contextualized theories
In this brief criticism I discuss the complexities of practical judgements on global justice and spell out important agreements with David Miller: (a) global and special – particularly national – obligations are in serious tension; (b) both simple ‘global egalitarianism’ and ‘domestic justice’ are morally counter‐intuitive; and (c) moral minimalism is the most promising theoretical and practical strategy. Complex moral theories, however, are conf…
Secularism or Democracy?: Associational Governance of Religious Diversity
Established institutions and policies of dealing with religious diversity in liberal democratic states are increasingly under pressure. Practical politics and political theory is caught in a trap between a fully secularized state (strict separation of state and politics from completely privatized religions based on an idealized version of American denominationalism or French republicanism) and neo-corporatist or 'pillarized' regimes of selective …
Misrecognition, Power, and Democracy
Critics of politics of 'identity' and 'recognition' who argue that 'material' or 'economic' inequalities have been neglected have presented a fairly dichotomous picture of two hierarchies. Honneth has rightly questioned this dichotomy and the accompanying mythical histories, which represent the 'old' labour movement as being only concerned with economic inequalities and equal rights and treat struggles for 'recognition of identities, cultures, an…
Innovative Concepts for Alternative Migration Policies: Ten Innovative Approaches to the Challenges of Migration in the 21st Century
IMISCOE is a European Commission-funded Network of Excellence of more than 350 scientists from various research institutes that specialise in migration and integration issues in Europe. These researchers, who come from all branches of the economic and social sciences, the humanities and law, implement an integrated, multidisciplinary and internationally comparative research programme that focuses on Europe's migration and integration challenges
Defending Differentiated Policies of Multiculturalism
Affirmative action and multicultural (MC) policies are being challenged by egalitarian liberals, as well as republicans, in theory and politically in recent years. In this article, the author focuses on MC policies, the common core of which is to recognise serious ethno-cultural inequalities under conditions of equal civil and political rights, and find legal and political solutions to address these inequalities. The author argues that egalitaria…
The Governance of Islam in Europe: The Perils of Modelling
Recently, we have seen a shift from research on the internal structure and culture of Muslim religiosity to research on the way in which societies create opportunities for the development of Islam, or oppose them, and more particularly to the political opportunity structure and the institutionalised regimes and policies of governing Islam in Europe from a neo-institutionalist perspective. This introduction to the special issue discusses the conce…

The Cultural Conditions of Transnational Citizenship: On the Interpenetration of Political and Ethnic Cultures
No reverberatory effect of the great war has caused American public opinion more solicitude than the failure of the “melting-pot.” The tendency... has been for the national clusters of immigrants, as they became more and more firmly established and more and more prosperous to cultivate more and more assiduously the literatures and cultural traditions of their homelands. Assimilation, in other words, instead of washing out the memories of Europe, …

Religious Diversity And Democratic Institutional Pluralism
Strict separation of church from a presumed 'religion-blind'and strictly 'neutral'state still is the preferred model in liberal, democratic, feminist, and socialist political theory. Focusing on the full, reciprocal relationships between society-culture-politics-nation-state and (organized) religions, this article makes a case in favor of 'nonconstitutional pluralism' in general, associative democracy in particular. Associative democracy recogniz…

Taking Pluralism Seriously: Arguing for an Institutional Turn in Political Philosophy
There is a growing sense of dissatisfaction among political philosophers with the practical sterility and empirical inadequacy of the discipline. Post-Rawlsian philosophy is wrestling with the need to construct a ‘contextualized morality’ that is sensitive to the particularities and complexities of actual moral reasoning but does not succumb to the temptations of relativism. We argue that this predicament is due to its inability to take the plura…

Dilemmas of ethnic affirmative action. Benign state-neutrality or relational ethnic neutrality
Affirmative action policies are in the spotlights again, in America as well as in Europe. Taking stock of recent normative and political debates I clarify the concept and modalities of affirmative action. From my moral pluralist perspective of liberal, democratic socialism conflicting principles of moral and legal equality have to be balanced in a prudent and context‐sensitive way.

Fairly Open Borders
Practical philosophy had much trouble in dealing with problems of first admission.1 In this chapter I do not give a comprehensive overview of the state of the art. Instead, I will present a committed, non-technical plea in favour of fairly open borders. Broadly speaking, two different moral arguments in favour of fairly open borders can be developed: the first one tries to show that free mobility is an inherent moral principle and should, therefo…
