| Dilemmas of Inclusion: Muslims in European Politics Subjects: Muslims -- Europe -- Political activity; Islam and politics -- Europe; Political parties -- Europe; Representative government and representation -- Europe; Muslims -- Europe -- Social conditions; 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.
