Governing multicultural Brussels: paradoxes of a multi-level, multi-cultural, multi-national urban anomaly

Updating our earlier work on Brussels as the paradigm of a multi-level, multi-cultural, multi-national city, and in the context of Brussels’s recent troubled emergence as the epicentre of violent conflict between radical political Islam and the West, this paper sets out the paradoxical intersection of national (i.e. Flemish and Francophone), non-national and ethnic minority politics in a city placed as a multi-cultural and multi-national ‘urban anomaly’ at the heart of linguistic struggle of the two dominant Belgian communities. Brussels is one of the three Regions of the Belgian federal model alongside Flanders and Wallonia. It is also an extraordinarily diverse and cosmopolitan city, in which a mixed language Belgian population lives alongside very high numbers of resident non-nationals, including European elites, other European immigrant workers, and immigrants from Africa and Asia. After laying out the complex distribution of power and competences within the Belgian federal structure, we explore whether these structures have worked over the years to include or exclude disadvantaged ethnic groups. To better understand these processes, we introduce our view of the multi-level governance perspective

Le croire et le cru: les appartenances religieuses au sein du christianisme européen revisitées à partir des travaux de Michel de Certeau

In order to better understand the developments taking place within European Christianity, it seems worth our while to take another took at the notion of religious belonging, one which turns out to be more complex than it seemed at first glance. The flow of affiliations and disaffiliations it sets in motion might well be reinterpreted as the ambivalent expression of the engagements and disengagements associated with the construction of a common world. In this connection, the works of the historian, M. de Certeau, leading to an anthropology of belief, offer a significant contribution to the development of a theory of belonging

La laicite comme evasion ideologique: le cas du Parti Socialiste en Belgique

The long tradition of association that exists in Belgium between socialism and lay humanism is proving increasingly anachronistic, to such an extent that one has to wonder what the reasons might be for maintaining it, reasons that might be decidedly different from those that spontaneously come to mind. The hypothesis formulated by the author of this article is that it is at one and the same rime an ideological screen for concealing the crisis in socialist thinking and a political submission of the Belgian Socialist Party to Freemasonry which is seen as a pam-political society. This submission is severely hampering the party's future, in so far as it is linked to the fate of socialism in the purely instrumental form of rationality. This, in the ideological,world, positions ii on the margins of the arguments that it would need for conducting a real critique of a social organization pledged to the economic concept of the market

L'incidence du facteur religieux dans la "conscience ethnique" des immigres marocains en Belgique

"Ethnic consciousness": conceived as a functional category of action, only becomes real for the sociologist when identifying the manifestations in behaviours and/or opinions which mould the normative context actors lend to their behaviours. The author, working from empirical research, seeks to grasp the ongoing process of ethno-genesis ethno-genesis among immigrants of Moroccan origin in a society like Belgium which has experienced significant post-colonial immigration. The religious factor is certainly far from being the sole at work in the process, yet we ought not to minimize the importance it assumes in the re-elaboration of the identity of transplanted Muslim communities. The ultimate question is whether ethnicity, as a category of actors' social classification, is a relic of the past or remains one of the most fundamental beliefs in post-colonial society, as it was bl yesterday's colonial contexts

Migrations, choc de cultures et religion: a propos des communications de C. Lacoste-Dujardin; et W. Clark Roof et C. Manning

The three papers (of which only two appear in this issue) dedicated to the theme ''Migrations, culture shock and religion'' necessarily bring the old question of the relationship between the social identity and religious reference of actors to the forefront. The use actors make of their religious referent is never dissociable from the social position they occupy and the mobility strategy they adopt. Beyond the overly simplified paradigm which postulates the decline of the religious referent accompanying the transition from ''tradition'' to ''modernity'', contemporary situations seem to indicate a renewed and complex use of a religious referent always associated with community membership
