Dilemmas of Inclusion - Muslims in European Politics (Paperback)

As Europe's Muslim communities continue to grow, so does their
impact on electoral politics and the potential for inclusion
dilemmas. In vote-rich enclaves, Muslim views on religion,
tradition, and gender roles can deviate sharply from those of the
majority electorate, generating severe trade-offs for parties
seeking to broaden their coalitions. Dilemmas of Inclusion explains
when and why European political parties include Muslim candidates
and voters, revealing that the ways in which parties recruit this
new electorate can have lasting consequences. Drawing on original
evidence from thousands of electoral contests in Austria, Belgium,
Germany, and Great Britain, Rafaela Dancygier sheds new light on
when minority recruitment will match up with existing party
positions and uphold electoral alignments and when it will
undermine party brands and shake up party systems. She demonstrates
that when parties are seduced by the quick delivery of
ethno-religious bloc votes, they undercut their ideological
coherence, fail to establish programmatic linkages with Muslim
voters, and miss their opportunity to build cross-ethnic,
class-based coalitions. Dancygier highlights how the politics of
minority inclusion can become a testing ground for parties, showing
just how far their commitments to equality and diversity will take
them when push comes to electoral shove. Providing a unified
theoretical framework for understanding the causes and consequences
of minority political incorporation, and especially as these
pertain to European Muslim populations, Dilemmas of Inclusion
advances our knowledge about how ethnic and religious diversity
reshapes domestic politics in today's democracies.
