Samir Amghar, Amel Boubekeur and Michael Emerson (eds): "European Islam, Challenges for Society and Public Policy"

European Islam: Challenges for Society and Public Policy is a new publication by the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS). The chapters in this work, written by leading European experts in the field, aim to supply policy-makers, analysts and civil society leaders with an inventory of the main issues concerning the presence of Islam in Europe. The key message is that European Islam exists as a powerful transnational phenomenon, and European policy must keep pace with this reality.

Contributors include Tufyal Choudhury, the author of the EUMAP report Muslims in the UK: Policies for Engaged Citizens, who is currently Project Manager of the EUMAP monitoring on Muslims in EU Cities; Samir Amghar, one of the city reporters in the Muslims in EU Cities project; and Valerie Amiraux and Olivier Roy, who are both members of the Expert Advisory Board to the Muslims in EU Cities project.

The paperback publication can be ordered at the CEPS website for 25 Euro, and is also available for free as a PDF download.
