“…More recently, scholars have pointed to the important role of associations as a source of social capital (Maloney and Rossteuscher 2007). This concept (see Lin 2001 andPortes 1998 for overviews) was brought to the fore by the work of prominent sociologists such as Coleman (1988Coleman ( , 1990, Bourdieu (1984Bourdieu ( , 1986 and more recently Putnam (1993Putnam ( , 2000, and has received much attention in various fields since.…”

This paper looks at the determinants of the political participation of Muslims. We assess the impact of associational involvement on their overall political participation and their involvement in protest activities. We do so using original survey data consisting of a random sample of Muslim residents in Switzerland. Our analysis provides support to the argument that associational involvement is a strong predictor of political participation. The findings suggest that Muslims involved in cross-ethnic organisations are more likely to engage in politics. This holds for the overall political participation and for engagement in protest activities. In terms of social capital theory, our findings confirm that bridging social capital is as crucial when it comes to explaining the political participation of Muslims as it is when dealing with migrants in general. However, we also observe a positive impact of the involvement in religious associations. We interpret this effect as an indication that bonding social capital plays a role in the political participation of ethno-religious minorities, but one based on a religious rather than an ethnic cleavage. Future research should pay more attention to this relationship.

Weltweite Verteilungskämpfe um knappe Energieressourcen und der Klimawandel mit seinen Auswirkungen führen zu globalen, nationalen, regionalen und auch lokalen Herausforderungen, die Gegenstand dieser Publikationsreihe sind. Die Beiträge der Reihe sollen Chancen und Hemmnisse einer präventiv orientierten Energie-und Klimapolitik vor dem Hintergrund komplexer energiepolitischer und wirtschaftlicher Interessenlagen und Machtverhältnisse ausloten. Themenschwerpunkte sind die Analyse der europäischen und internationalen Liberalisierung der Energiesektoren und -branchen, die internationale Politik zum Schutz des Klimas, Anpassungsmaßnahmen an den Klimawandel in den Entwicklungs-, Schwellenund Industrieländern, die Produktion von biogenen Treibstoffen zur Substitution fossiler Energieträger oder die Probleme der Atomenergie und deren nuklearen Hinterlassenschaften.Die Reihe bietet empirisch angeleiteten, quantitativen und international vergleichenden Arbeiten, Untersuchungen von grenzüberschreitenden Transformationsund Mehrebenenprozessen oder von nationalen "best practice"-Beispielen ebenso ein Forum wie theoriegeleiteten, qualitativen Untersuchungen, die sich mit den grundlegenden Fragen des gesellschaftlichen Wandels in der Energiepolitik und beim Klimaschutz beschäftigen.
