Taking Part: Muslim Participation in Contemporary Governance (January 2013)
This final report provides the main findings from the most comprehensive
study to date on UK Muslim-government relations, which included an analysis
of public policy since 1997, a total of 112 interviews with key
policymakers and Muslim civil society actors, and in-depth local case
studies of Birmingham, Leicester, and Tower Hamlets, London. The Report
describes how British Muslims have been taking part in governance in the
three policy fields of equality, diversity & cohesion; faith sector
governance; and security (including the Prevent Strategy). It describes
how modes of Muslim representation have developed into a broader
'democratic constellation' (download, pdf 5.5mb).
