Towards “Policed Multiculturalism”? Counter-radicalization in France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
The French government recently announced a plan to “combat radicalization” and a series of measures to prevent recourse to violence. Although the term is not entirely new in the French political parlance, it marks a departure from a counterterrorism policy justified mainly by a judicial approach and enforced in great part through administrative measures. France is thus moving closer to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, which both began to develop such policies in the mid-2000s. Yet what exactly does it mean to “combat radicalization”?

The French government recently announced a plan to “combat radicalization” and a series of measures to prevent recourse to violence. Although the term is not entirely new in the French political parlance, it marks a departure from a counterterrorism policy justified mainly by a judicial approach and enforced in great part through administrative measures. France is thus moving closer to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, which both began to develop such policies in the mid-2000s. Yet what exactly does it mean to “combat radicalization”? What explains the French government’s change of approach? And what can be learned from a decade of experience in these two European countries? This study shows that the concept of radicalization serves as an effective discourse to legitimize the extension of police action beyond its usual purview, by becoming involved in areas of diversity management such as education, religion, and social policy. The study traces the dissemination of the discourse through European institutions and, using the notion of “policed multiculturalism,” analyzes the effects of its legal, administrative and preventive forms. ; Le gouvernement français a récemment annoncé un plan de « lutte contre la radicalisation » assorti d’une série de mesures qui ont pour but de prévenir le passage à l’acte violent. Si le terme de radicalisation n’est pas nouveau dans le langage politique français, il marque un tournant dans une politique antiterroriste qui, bien que reposant en grande partie sur des mesures administratives, se justifiait avant tout par l’approche judiciaire. La France se rapproche ainsi des Pays-Bas et du Royaume-Uni, qui ont développé ce type de politiques depuis la moitié des années 2000. Mais que siginifie exactement « lutter contre la radicalisation » ? Comment expliquer ce nouveau tournant du gouvernement français, et que peut-on apprendre de dix ans d’expériences de ces deux pays européens ? Cette étude montre que la lutte contre la radicalisation agit comme un discours efficace de ...
