Elisabeth Ivarsflaten is professor of political
science and scientific director of the Digital Social Science Core
Facility at the University of Bergen, Norway. Paul
M. Sniderman is the Fairleigh S. Dickinson Jr.,
Professor of Public Policy at Stanford University and a fellow of
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is, most
recently, author of The Democratic Faith and coauthor of Paradoxes
of Liberal Democracy: Islam, Western Europe and the Danish Cartoon
Crisis.
“The Struggle for Inclusion charts an evidence-based strategy
for winning over a potentially inclusive non-Muslim majority in
Western European countries. Rather than intervene in an
attempt to change attitudes about Muslims, the authors search
for hidden tolerant majorities by exploring the conditions under
which survey respondents from seven countries express tolerant
views. A meticulously crafted series of survey experiments
shows how acceptance of Muslims changes, sometimes dramatically,
depending on the substantive concerns at issue.”
*Donald P. Green, Columbia University*
“The key point of the book is that we should cease to focus on the
intolerant and instead focus on the tolerant who are in favor of
including Muslim minorities. In so doing, we should take into
account that the terms of inclusion matter for them. In a
series of impressive survey experiments, the authors demonstrate
this key point in a highly effective manner. Without any doubt,
this book makes an important contribution to the literature on
attitudes about immigration, tolerance, liberal values, and their
political implications.”
*Hanspeter Kriesi, European University Institute*
"Elisabeth Ivarsaten and Paul Sniderman explore the opportunities
for inclusion of Muslim minorities into Western democracies. Their
book, The Struggle for Inclusion: Muslim Minorities and the
Democratic Ethos, integrates social scientific methods with ideas
from political theory, sociology, and philosophy to answer complex
questions about democracy in practice. They find plenty of
opportunities for more expansive forms of inclusion. However, they
also explore the limits for inclusion in contemporary Western
societies."
