Abstract

Abstract This paper focuses on the political participation and mobilization of Muslims in Italy, an understudied topic. A few existing studies outline that Italian Muslim involvement in the political process has been quite low on both the local and national levels. However, along with the notable recent growth of the Muslim population in Italy, a certain evolution of political mobilization has occurred as well. This paper will analyze how Italian Muslim political participation, both through non-electoral and electoral channels, has evolved through time. It will question what are the key issues and challenges for participation; and to what extent homeland politics and foreign policy events have affected political mobilization. It will argue that even though some limited evolution of political mobilization has occurred in recent years, the Italian Muslim political participation and impact both remain rather limited due to the strong anti-Muslim sentiment in Italy, as well as due to internal fragmentation of Muslim communities.

意大利穆斯林政治动员的困境:反穆斯林情绪与内部分裂
摘要本文关注的是意大利穆斯林的政治参与和动员,这是一个研究不足的话题。一些现有的研究表明,意大利穆斯林在地方和国家层面对政治进程的参与程度都很低。然而,随着意大利穆斯林人口最近的显著增长,政治动员也发生了一定的演变。本文将分析意大利穆斯林通过非选举和选举渠道的政治参与是如何随着时间的推移而演变的。它将质疑参与的关键问题和挑战是什么;以及国内政治和外交政策事件在多大程度上影响了政治动员。它认为,尽管近年来政治动员发生了一些有限的演变,但由于意大利强烈的反穆斯林情绪,以及穆斯林社区的内部分裂,意大利穆斯林的政治参与和影响仍然相当有限。

期刊介绍: Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is a peer reviewed research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious and responsible manner.
