Transnational political socialization in conservative networks
External voting can make democracies more inclusive in a world shaped by mobility, but migrants and their descendants participating in elections in their ‘country of origin’ are sometimes also criticized and raises normative concerns. For instance, European citizens of Turkish background are often disparaged for supporting authoritarian, religiously attuned populism in Turkey while benefiting from liberal-democratic rights in their countries of r…
Institutional bias and Islamic burial space in France and the Netherlands
In both France and the Netherlands, the issue of Islamic burial has presented itself within a broader context of growing cultural and religious diversity resulting from immigration. This article investigates how institutional biases shape the ability of Muslim communities to have their burial needs met. It contributes by introducing a conceptualization and typology of institutional bias, offering a framework for understanding the skewed patterns …

A post-colonial reading of Alexis de Tocqueville’s writings on slavery and its aftermaths
This article develops a postcolonial and comparative reading of Tocqueville’s writings on slavery. It argues, first, that Tocqueville analyzed the ending of slavery as a revolutionary social transformation involving changes in laws, social relations and mores, and second, that he employed the same analytical framework consistently to discuss processes of abolition in the United States and in the French Caribbean Islands. In the United States the …
Recruitment in public administrations
This paper presents the results of an ethnographic study of recruitment processes in the public service of a French city. It begins by engaging with the existing literature on representative bureaucracy and discrimination of members of minority groups and then surveys some of the existing literature on French exceptionalism in this domain. Based on an analysis of gate keeping practices and recruitment, set off against the numerical under-represen…
Legal Practice and Cultural Diversity
The Politics of Deservingness
In the late 2000s, campaigns arose in the Netherlands and the United States advocating for the legal residency of immigrant youths with precarious legal status. In spite of differences between the campaigns, advocates argued that youths possessed certain cultural attributes and that these attributes made them deserving of permanent residency status. These two campaigns had very different histories, were made up of very different stakeholders, and…
Pillarization
Pillarization describes a society as divided into a number of “pillars,” being compartments standing for the networks of organizations belonging to religious and ideological subcultures. Typically the associations cover a broad range of societal domains (education, media, political parties). The Netherlands is considered the purest example of a pillarized society from approximately the 1900s until the late 1960s, when there existed a Catholic, a …
Policies of Exclusion and Practices of Inclusion
There is a major gap in Dutch refugee and immigration control policies between its ambitions and outcomes. It results in considerable numbers of rejected asylum seekers who, while they cannot be expelled from the country, are excluded from government support and from opportunities to work in the belief this should encourage voluntary departure. Destitution and homelessness can often be the result, an outcome which poses problems in cities, create…
Non-governmental religious schools in Europe
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 …
Liberal equality and toleration for conservative religious minorities. Decreasing opportunities for religious schools in the Netherlands
Liberal democratic states face new challenges in balancing between principles of religious freedom and non-discrimination and in balancing these constitutional principles with other concerns, including social cohesion, good education, and immigrant-integration. In a context of increased prominence of secular and anti-Islamic voices in political debate, there are demands to reduce legal ‘exceptions’ for (conservative) religious groups in the Nethe…
Regulation of Speech in Multicultural Societies
What to do about speech which vilifies or defames members of minorities on the grounds of their ethnic or religious identity or their sexuality? How to respond to such speech, which may directly or indirectly cause harm, while taking into account the principle of free speech, has been much debated in contemporary Europe, not least with respect to speech about, or by, Muslims. This introduction to the Special Issue on the ‘Regulation of Speech in …
Colonial and Post-Colonial Governance of Islam
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…
Pillarization and Islam
On the Viability of State-Church Models
Do national institutional repertoires of religious governance still have an effect on the accommodation of Muslims' religious needs in France and the Netherlands? Or do they become inconsequential because of increasing European pressures on liberal democracies to accommodate? Comparing the institutional accommodations towards Muslims in the burial domain and the building of mosques, this article argues the impact of national repertoires to be vis…
Colonial and Post-Colonial Governance of Islam
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…

Islamic Presence and Mosque Establishment in France
This article reconstructs the ways in which Islamic presence and mosque establishment have been represented in French public discourse. During colonial times, the French colonial state aligned itself with selected religious leaders and paid the salaries of imams and the maintenance of mosques in the overseas territories. In Europe, Islamic symbols such as mosques were displayed at colonial expositions and a monumental mosque was built in the cent…
Dealing with Extremists in Public Discussion
In this article we investigate the way modern democracies can deal with extremists in public discussion. The first part of the article conceptualizes political discussion insofar as it makes a contribution to the democratic process. We focus upon the democratic process as a way of dealing with conflicts between citizens that stem from differences in moral outlook. We reflect upon this process mainly in relation to its capacity to overcome possibl…
