The governance of religious diversity and the challenge of (violent) radicalization in Western Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The responses of Western European states to incidents and threats of (violent) radicalisation have attracted heavy criticism, particularly for their securitised focus on Muslims and Islam. One notable strand of this criticism is that structural features and social experience, which can produce senses of alienation and disenfranchisement - including socio-economic disparities and patterns of discrimination - are not properly addressed in state understandings, responses and policy. One structural and institutional feature that has so far been under-researched is the governance of religious diversity. While several studies have attempted to address whether state interference in religious organisations causes violent radicalisation, these offer at best inconclusive results. nIn this chapter we present a comparative look at the relationship between (violent) radicalisation and the governance of religious diversity across four countries in Western Europe: Belgium, France, Germany and the UK. To do so, we first make a distinction between two modes of governance: the moderate secularism of Belgium, Germany and the UK, and the secularist statism of France. We then address these two modes in relation to three questions: Can we see a relationship between the mode of governance of religious diversity and the occurrence of (violent) radicalisation? How do different modes of governance shape state responses to (violent) radicalisation? How does the occurrence of (violent) radicalisation affect the governance of religious diversity? Drawing on our four country case studies, we argue that a causal relationship of the type suggested by the first question is not evident. However, the two modes of governance of religious diversity do make a difference to how states respond to (violent) radicalisation, and, likewise, state responses to (violent) radicalisation affects forms of governance of religious diversity in different ways. These distinctions, moreover, have different implications for freedom of religion across our country cases.
