Call for papers: Muslims and political participation in Europe
Copenhagen, 21-22 April 2010

Papers are invited for an international conference to be jointly
organized by:

- the EurIslam network, based at the University of Strasbourg -
http://www.eurislam.info/index_EN.html

- Centre for European Islamic Thought (CEIT), at the University of
Copenhagen - http://www.teol.ku.dk/english/dept/ceit_eng/

The conference will take place Wednesday 21 April and Thursday 22 April
2010 in Copenhagen.

The conference will focus on the following overlapping and interlocking
dimensions (these are not to be understood as exclusive of related themes):

1. The processes and realities of Muslim participation in local and
national politics: Voting patterns and representation in local and
national assemblies; the place of Islam as an identifying factor – do
candidates highlight or marginalize their ‘Muslimness’ (and what is
‘Muslim’ in this context?); the relationship between Muslim and ethnic
identities in the political processes.

2. Internal Muslim debates about political participation in Europe:
Attitudes of Muslims to the democratic processes; views for and against
political participation in non-Muslim society; who can/should represent
Muslims, or are there other priorities?

3. Public discourses about Muslim participation; political participation
as a method or consequence of integration; state policies regarding
Muslim political participation; relationship between participation and
citizenship; is Muslim participation welcomed or contingent on
privatizing the faith?
