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 <https://webmail.vt.edu/horde/util/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eurislam.info%2Findex_EN.html&Horde=7e739b67e8290933a3268c52ed8c2579>
and the Centre for European Islamic Thought (CEIT), at the University

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?
