These nations have a range of alternative relationships between religion and the state, as well as strategies for coordinating individuals' ethnic and state identities. Using the European Parliament's benchmarking guidelines, surveys and other non-official data, the authors find that in some areas Muslims are in fact more integrated than popularly assumed and suggest that, instead of failing to integrate, Muslims find their access to integration blocked in ways that reduce their life chances in the societies in which they are now permanent residents. The book will have an impact on research and policy especially with the commencement of the EU-wide integration benchmarking effort and will be an excellent resource for researchers, academics and policy makers."--Publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Benchmarking the Well-Being of European Muslims -- State Involvement in Muslim Well-Being -- European Muslims' Confidence in the Justice System -- Muslims in European Politics: Support for Democracy and Trust in the Political System -- Muslims' Experiences of Discrimination in Public Institutions -- The General Well-Being of Muslims in Europe -- Reducing Disparities and Polarizations in Europe. 650 0 $a Muslims $z Europe $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Social integration $z European Union countries. 650 0 $a Belonging (Social psychology) $z European Union countries. 700 1 $a Doerschler, Peter. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826055835.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=00B72C7A27E111E28D42D0E26AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
