| Description |
This paper explores the dynamics of local Muslim political representation in Britain, and seeks to answer the question: does Muslim political representation matter? Drawing on original data from in-depth interviews with 20 Muslim leaders, political activists, and city councilors across London boroughs, issues of descriptive versus substantive representation are examined. It analyzes political experiences of Muslim city councilors across London boroughs, their platforms, whether or not their presence helps reduce conflict at the local level, and impact of party politics on their performance. It concludes that local Muslim political representation facilitates the acquisition of services for Muslim citizenry, yet performance of Muslim elected officials is contingent upon institutional constraints, in particular strong party whip.
