‘A Tale of Women’? Gendered Patterns in Family Elder Care in Belgium
In Brussels, Belgium, we investigated attitudes and practices regarding the provision of care to older family members from a gender perspective. Using a multi-method approach that combined a face-to-face survey with in-depth interviews, we found that attitudinal and behavioural differences between men and women on family-based elder care were limited. The results challenge the conventional wisdom that caregiving is always highly gendered, instead…
Friendship With Immigrants and Inclusive Policies Correspond to More Positive Perceptions of Immigrants
Relational and societal exclusion of immigrants in Western countries fuels negative perceptions of immigrants among non‐migrants. We investigated how relational and societal inclusion in the form of friendship and immigrant integration policies jointly relate to perceptions of immigrants. We conducted a longitudinal multilevel analysis drawing on probability samples of non‐migrants from the Transatlantic Trends Survey ( N = 27,513) in nine North …
What does Italianness stand for? The use of ethnic resources among Italian migrant entrepreneurs in Brussels
Research on migrant entrepreneurship has extensively focused on the ethnic dimension of these economic activities, especially entrepreneurs’ use of ethnic resources. Many scholars have tended to reify ethnicity and overlook migrant entrepreneurs’ ability to define and use ethnic resources. Adopting a dynamic perspective that acknowledges in-group diversity and entrepreneurs’ agency in utilizing these ethnic resources, we examine how Italian migra…
Van QR-code tot verwijdering. Debat over de symbolen van een omstreden verleden in de Brusselse openbare ruimte
Omniprésents à Bruxelles, les marqueurs mémoriels, (statues, noms de rues, monuments, commémorations...), reflètent les valeurs idéologiques et politiques de leur époque. Leur appropriation qui a logiquement évolué avec le temps a souvent débouché sur des contestations. Aujourd’hui, celles-ci portent principalement sur les représentations colonialistes, racistes ou sexistes que ces marqueurs véhiculent dans l’espace public. Cette note de synthèse…

Contested concepts in a predominantly anglophone publication market
Critical readers of the book “Contested concepts” have pointed out the choice of concepts that are being treated is debatable. It has also been said that the book suffers from “European parochialism”. However, it could be argued that a more valid criticism would be that we should have focussed more on the effects of language, linguistically embedded discourses and the difference of perspective of scholars living in “sending” countries of migratio…
Economic development, attitudes towards migration and the (lack of) willingness to help refugees
In this paper Jacobs examines the connection between attitudes on migration, perceived threats linked to migration and the (lack of) willingness to help refugees using a data set of twelve countries from a survey project called the Aurora Humanitarian Index. The higher the perceived ethnic threat (economic, cultural or religious), the less willing individuals are to mobilize for refugees. In addition to patterns on the individual level, we examin…
Transnationalism and Belonging
Research on migrant transnationalism has mostly focused on particular transnational activities, their salience in various contexts and populations, and their relationship with migrant incorporation. Less attention has been paid to the interplay between the different domains of transnationalism (economic, political, and socio-relational) and to the way in which they affect migrants’ identity. This study investigates whether and how one domain of m…
Categorising What We Study and What We Analyse, and the Exercise of Interpretation
Categorisation is a central feature and challenge for social scientific research. Particularly in the field of migration studies, critical reflection on potential bias triggered by categorisation, case study selection, comparative designs (or an absence of a comparative design) and analysis methods is of essential importance. Given that political stakes and societal fears with regard to the topic of migration issues are very high, precision and c…
Une ségrégation peut en cacher une autre. La répartition des élèves entre classes à prendre au sérieux
La Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (Belgique) est profondément marquée par une ségrégation académique et socio-économique qui prend source dans une organisation particulière du système éducatif. La ségrégation entre écoles a été largement mise en évidence. La ségrégation entre classes au sein des écoles n’a été que peu abordée par la littérature, mais constitue pourtant un phénomène notable. Premièrement, les apports de différentes mesures et donné…
Students with an immigrant background in Brussels and their first vote
In recent years, Belgians with an immigrant background have become an important electoral force in Belgian cities and in particular in the Brussels-Capital Region. Literature on the choice of parties and the voting characteristics of Belgians with an immigrant background is, however, lacking. In this article, we shall present the first analysis of the electoral characteristics of young students with an immigrant background in the Brussels-Capital…
De jonge Brusselaars, tussen verscheidenheid en tegenspoed
Brussel is een sociaal en cultureel sterk gesegmenteerde stad. Die diversiteit weerspiegelt zich ook bij de jongeren. In dit artikel presenteren wij de resultaten van een schriftelijke bevraging bij de laatstejaars van de Franstalige scholen van de stad Brussel, aangaande levensstijlen, racisme en onveiligheid. Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat de Brusselse jeugd intern sterk verdeeld is naar sociale herkomst, etnische origine en schoolkeuze. Onderlin…
Les rhétoriciens bruxellois issus de l’immigration et leur premier vote
Au cours des dernières années, les Belges issus de l’immigration sont devenus une force électorale non négligeable dans les villes belges et particulièrement dans la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale. La littérature sur les choix de partis et les caractéristiques de vote des Belges issus de l’immigration reste cependant lacunaire. Dans cet article, nous présentons la première analyse des caractéristiques électorales des jeunes rhétoriciens issus de l’…
De eerste stem van allochtone jongeren in Brussel
Sinds enkele jaren zijn de allochtone Belgen een niet te verwaarlozen kiezersgroep geworden in de Belgische steden en al helemaal in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest. Wetenschappelijke literatuur over de partijkeuze en het stemgedrag van die categorie Belgen blijft evenwel schaars. In dit artikel presenteren we een eerste analyse van het stemgedrag van allochtone leerlingen uit het laatste jaar middelbaar onderwijs in het Brussels Hoofdstedelij…
Brussels youth
Brussels is a city which is highly segmented on both the social as the cultural level. This diversity is also reflected among the youth. In this article we present the results of a survey undertaken among the last year students of the francophone schools of the city of Brussels. The survey, which focusses on life styles, racism and insecurity, confirms the multifaceted character of the Brussels youth. Important sources of diversity and division a…
Les jeunes Bruxellois, entre diversité et adversité
Bruxelles est une ville fortement segmentée socialement et culturellement. Cette diversité se retrouve particulièrement au niveau de sa jeunesse. Cet article propose l’analyse d’une enquête par questionnaire réalisée auprès de rhétoriciens des écoles francophones de la Ville de Bruxelles, de toutes les formes d’enseignement, portant sur les styles de vie, le racisme et l’insécurité. Les résultats confirment la pluralité de la jeunesse. Trois vari…
Muslims’ religiosity and views on religion in six Western European countries
This article investigates the impact of discursive and political opportunity structures on religiosity among Muslims and on perceived distance between Muslims and non-Muslims on the role of religion in society, making use of the EURISLAM-data-set (2010). We will focus on Moroccan, Turkish, Pakistani and ex-Yugoslavian origin samples of migrants of Muslim origin and a control group of non-Muslim majority group citizens for six participating countr…
The impact of dramatic events on public debate concerning accommodation of Islam in Europe
Using the data of the EURISLAM project, this article investigates the impact of dramatic events on the public debate with regard to Islam in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK. It assesses the extent to which dramatic events such as 9/11, the bombings in Madrid and London and the murder of Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam impacted on the debate on multiculturalism, notably the accommodation of Western-European institution…

The impact of the conflict in Gaza on antisemitism in Belgium
Taking Belgium as a case study, this article aims to assess the impact of a foreign conflict (the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip) on intergroup relations in Europe. It asks whether intensification of the conflict in Gaza increases the number of antisemitic incidents in Belgium, and makes use of a database of complaints to the Centrum voor gelijkheid van kansen en voor racismebestrijding (Center of Equal Opportunities and Oppositio…

Ethnic voting in Brussels
The Political Context of Sentencing
Most studies of jail or prison sentence length focus on whether offender characteristics produce sentencing differentials after legal effects have been controlled, but the findings in the literature have not been consistent, probably because most studies have been based on a few jurisdictions. To see if political effects explain these discrepancies, this study of 337 jurisdictions in seven states analyzes interaction effects between external poli…
Associational membership and political involvement among ethnic minority groups in Brussels
In this article we look into the relationship between associational membership and political involvement in the case of the two largest groups of non‐EU citizens in Brussels, Moroccans and Turks. The aim is to evaluate the claim by Fennema and Tillie that differences in political participation between groups are to be explained by different levels of ‘ethnic civic community’, and more specifically by the differential presence of social capital (a…
Political Institutions, Minorities, and Punishment
Despite their plausibility, political explanations for incarceration rates have not been intensely investigated. Centralized democracies that reduce public influence by using corporatist methods to resolve disputes should have lower incarceration rates, but the opposite should be true in decentralized polities with federalist political arrangements where mass publics have greater control over punishment. Threat hypotheses are assessed by examinin…
Ideology, Social Threat, and the Death Sentence
Capital punishment is the most severe criminal penalty, yet we know little about the factors that produce jurisdictional differences in the use of the death sentence. Political explanations emphasize conservative values and the strength of more conservative political parties. Threat accounts suggest that this sentence will be more likely in jurisdictions with larger minority populations. After controlling for many explanations using two-equation …
The debate over enfranchisement of foreign residents in Belgium
There has been debate over enfranchisement of foreign residents in Belgium since the early 1970s. This article examines the presence and influence of the ethnic minority voice in the political debate on this topic. The reluctance of the main political parties to address the issue openly and the electoral struggle over the anti‐immigrant vote incited immigrant (and antiracist) groups to rally fiercely for enfranchisement. However, there was little…

Racial Politics and Redistribution
To assess the determinants of political support for redistribution, this time-series study analyzes historically contingent changes in the progressivity of the income tax. Nonviolent civil rights protest should increase sympathy for the least affluent and enhance support for redistributive policies, but social problems blamed on the underclass may have the opposite effect. After controlling for shifts in partisan control of the presidency, nonwhi…

Discourse, Politics and Policy
This article contains the results of research concerning parliamentary debate about voting rights for foreign residents in the Netherlands (1970–1996) using a discourse analytical framework. Due to the characteristics of the Dutch political field, a large majority of the political actors has to be willing and able to combine political interests and ideological narratives into one story line propagating franchise for foreign residents in order to …

Political Participation and Associational Life of Turkish Residents in the Capital of Europe
This study addresses the question of the political participation of Turkish immigrants. In general an active participation in the political system of the host country through membership of political parties, through voting, through holding elected office or through civil society activism is considered as almost a sine qua non of complete integration into the host society. The Turkish experience is somewhat puzzling: Turkish immigrants in the Euro…
Territorial and Non-territorial Federalism in Belgium
Belgium has a peculiar system of federalism, combining both territorial (regions) and non-territorial (communities) substate levels. In the summer of 2001 yet another phase in the process of devolution took place, further adjusting the already quite complex federal model. One of the most important modifications was constituted by the transfer of jurisdiction over interior affairs and electoral law (for the local and provincial level) to the sub-s…

Subordination and Violence against State Control Agents
This study examines the relationships between economic and political subordination and the use of lethal force against state officials charged with controlling the underclass. More specifically it uses count estimators to assess the factors that lead to felonious killings of police officers in the largest U.S. cities. Economic and racial inequality and the presence of a black mayor are used to assess economic and political subordination. Threat e…

Allochthones” in the Netherlands and Belgium
Schematically one can distinguish two traditions related to ethnic statistics in Europe. In France, Germany and most southern European countries, the dominant statistical categorisations merely distinguish individuals on the basis of their nationality. In contrast, most northern European countries have been producing data on the ethnic and/or foreign origin of their populations. Belgium is caught somewhere in between these two traditions. The Fre…

Weight and sodium reduction for the prevention of hypertension
Ninety-three overweight adult males with labile blood pressure elevation participated in a 20-week dietary intervention program to achieve a 10 per cent reduction in body weight and a reduction in dietary sodium intake to 70 milliequivalents per day. By random assignment, half were treated with intensive group treatment procedures and half with individual counseling. Written handouts and assignments were identical, as was the schedule of treatmen…

Rome ne fut pas bâtie en un jour. Le modèle des “cités” selon Boltanski et Thévenot et le débat sur les droits et la religion en Flandre
On 30 May 1994 Pope John Paul II declared that the discussion on ordaining women was “definitively” closed. Women could not become priests, the Vatican repeated for the “very last” time. This event stimulated an unprecedented commotion in the Flemish (Belgian) Catholic community. The laity voluntarily working in the Church even threatened to strike. The debate on feminism and human rights within the Roman Catholic Church erupted more fiercely tha…

Immigration and Politics in the New Europe
The Party Hold on Kenya: A Look at Two Local Election Campaigns (November 2001 and December 2002) A frican political parties still arouse little academic interest. Indeed, the transition to a multiparty system in the early 1990s did not bring about the expected regime changes in Sub-Saharan Africa. This lack of interest also stems from the impression given by untrained observation of the party system: a dysfunction in relation to an accepted norm…
