“…4 Many of those are of foreign descent: in 2020, over a third of Brussels' population held a foreign nationality. Several studies confirm a particularly favourable age structure for young people in the immigrant and Muslim population groups (Schoonvaere 2014;Sacco et al 2016). Moreover, if the variable of origin is considered, rather than merely nationality, the number of people of foreign origineither born with a foreign nationality or with a parent who was born with a foreign nationalityrepresents three quarters of the total population of the region (see note 4).…”

In Belgium, since the first instances of girls wearing headscarves in schools in 1989, the public discussion on the place of Islam and Muslims in Belgian society has been almost constant. That debate has become more polarized in the wake of the attacks of 22 March 2016. The results presented in this paper are drawn from sixteen group discussions and twenty individual semistructured interviews. We investigate the weight of discrimination processes on identity formation in the light of both reactive religiosity and individualization and secularization theoretical frameworks. Our data show that strongly identifying as Muslim is not experienced as being exclusive of other types of identifications claimed simultaneously. Then, we illustrate the processes of reflexivity, appropriation, and individualization of belief, as well as the negotiation or even circumvention of certain religious norms that are ongoing among Brussels' Muslim youth.

“…The joint observation of these two modes of dissemination and use allows us to sketch out an analysis of the way in which public action feeds on the results of research, in particular when it is mentioned in the press. Among the texts which met with such a fate and were notably the subject of parliamentary questions or debates are, for example, several articles and synopses on education and youth [Wayens et al, 2013;Sacco et al, 2016;Veinstein and Sirdey, 2016;Wayens et al, 2016], daily mobility [De Witte and Macharis, 2010;Hubert et al, 2013;Gilow, 2015] and housing [Bernard and Lemaire, 2015;Dessouroux et al, 2016].…”

Brussels Studies a récemment fêté ses 15 ans. Si son projet éditorial – offrir à un public large une plateforme trilingue de publications scientifiques sur et pour Bruxelles – demeure inchangé depuis 2006, de nombreuses adaptations ont pris place au fil des années et des 168 articles publiés à ce jour. La revue a ainsi réussi à rencontrer un lectorat varié au fil des ans venant à la fois du monde académique, des administrations et pouvoirs publics ou encore du milieu associatif. Brussels Studies constitue de fait un exemple assez exceptionnel, faisant de Bruxelles l'une de rares villes au monde disposant d'une revue scientifique qui lui est dédiée. À travers quelques faits et figures synthétiques, cette fact sheet offre un regard rétrospectif sur l'écosystème éditorial de la revue, les caractéristiques des textes publiés et l'impact qu’ils ont pu avoir sur les débats et l'action publique.

“…En particulier, les programmes qui visent les jeunes entre 18 et 30 ans labellisés comme « NEET » (neither in education, employment or training), menés dans le cadre de l'initiative pour l'emploi des jeunes (IEJ) en collaboration avec le Fonds social européen, réduisent la problématique à une question d'employabilité individuelle. Ainsi, ces programmes tiennent peu compte du fait que la jeunesse est aussi traversée par la question sociale qui, à Bruxelles, s'articule aux questions d'ethnicité et aux processus de ségrégation spatio-résidentielle [Jacobs et Rea, 2007;Rea et al, 2009 ;Sacco et al, 2016]. En effet, Bruxelles est une ville fortement polarisée [Van Hamme et al 2016] : les périphéries sont composées des quartiers les plus favorisés sur le plan socio-économique.…”
