AbstractThis article examines the ways in which ethnic and cultural diversity is concretely managed in the city of Marseille, a metropolitan area located in France, a country that academic literature defines as assimilationist. Based on a series of 26 semi-structured interviews and on the analysis of municipal archives, it reveals that ethnic, cultural and religious organizations are essential actors in local political life in Marseille. On one hand, in order to manage their culturally heterogeneous city, municipal officials rely on alliances with community leaders to maintain legitimacy among the local population. On the other hand, community leaders demand symbolic gestures of cultural recognition from the mayor in exchange for their political support. This paper, inspired by conceptual tools developed by Pierre Bourdieu, builds an innovative theoretical framework for analysis of the ‘social field of multiculturalism.’ In the process, it sheds light on strategies of negotiation and competition among different local actors in the daily management of diversity. Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Michèle Rubirola was elected mayor of Marseille on July 4, 2020. Benoît Payan (Socialist Party), succeeded Rubirola a few months later. Requests for interviews with the new municipal administration were made, but without success. It will be interesting to update the results of this research n the future, and to see how the relations between local politicians and community leaders will evolve after the election of Payan.2 The municipal council has general competence under common law to regulate through its deliberations the affairs of the municipality, under the terms of Article L. 2121-29 of the General Code of Local Authorities.3 Both coders used the same coding book, in order to achieve standardized coding and limit individual interpretations. The coding process, based on the grounded method theory (Corbin & Strauss, Citation2012), took place in three steps. A first step of ‘open coding’ consisted of identifying the various themes that emerged from the raw data. Our corpus was, therefore, read entirely, and the main themes identified were assigned to corresponding nodes. A second step of ‘axial coding’ consisted of clarifying the relationships between different nodes. Following the thematic analysis process developed by Van Dijk (Citation1993), the nodes were grouped around similar themes, which made it possible to form categories that corresponded to the results obtained. Third, an intercoder fidelity test was performed using Cohen's kappa coefficient. The result of 0.79 is considered ‘substantial’ (Landis & Koch, Citation1997). Finally, our research findings are presented according to the most salient elements that emerged from the coding of our sources.

Under what conditions do non-state actors with religious agendas resort to violence? Studies tackling this question typically examine global or local factors in isolation, while those advancing integrated arguments lack the data required for systematic tests across time and countries. We advance and test a theoretical framework combining transnational forces, domestic context, and actor-specific attributes. We argue that by 1979 a new transnational zeitgeist reached maturation, creating fertile ground for religion’s violence-endorsing side. Yet, the effect of this transnational ideological shift depends on its identity linkage with religious organizations and on domestic levels of corruption and religious repression. To test our argument, we leverage a new dataset on ethno-political organizations that provides yearly codings of organizations’ claims and use of violence, spanning all world regions in the years 1946-2013. The statistical analysis corroborates our hypotheses. Overall, ethno-political organizations making religious claims have been significantly more violence-prone after 1979 compared to before. Yet, this post-1979 effect of religious claims depends on local conditions. Specifically, their identity linkage with a particularly salient manifestation of the new zeitgeist – the Iranian Revolution – has made religious organizations from Muslim ethnic groups particularly susceptible to violence, whereas before 1979 they had been less violent than those without a religious agenda. Moreover, regardless of religious identity, higher levels of political corruption and repression of religious organizations entail a higher risk of anti-government violence by religious organizations after 1979, but not before.
