“…In particular, due to their presence, expertise and experience in certain fields -that is, due to their professionalism -they directly intervene at various stages of the decision-making and implementation processes. (T, Hoffman-Martinot 2007: 157) In Montreal, analysts have shown that the Executive Committee has played a major role in the municipal decision-making system since the 1960s (Lustiger-Thaler 1993). In Laval, the emphasis is on the role of the mayor, whose first mandate goes back to 1989 and who since 2001 has faced no elected opposition.…”

A m s t e r d a m U n i v e r s i t y P r e s s RePoRTs imiscoeThe Local Dimension of Migration Policymaking IMISCOE International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in EuropeThe IMISCOE Research Network unites researchers from, at present, 25 institutes specialising in studies of international migration, integration and social cohesion in Europe. What began in 2004 as a Network of Excellence sponsored by the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Commission has become, as of April 2009, an independent self-funding endeavour. From the start, IMISCOE has promoted integrated, multidisciplinary and globally comparative research led by scholars from various branches of the economic and social sciences, the humanities and law. The Network furthers existing studies and pioneers new scholarship on migration and migrant integration. Encouraging innovative lines of inquiry key to European policymaking and governance is also a priority.The IMISCOE-Amsterdam University Press Series makes the Network's findings and results available to researchers, policymakers and practitioners, the media and other interested stakeholders. High-quality manuscripts authored by Network members and cooperating partners are evaluated by external peer reviews and the IMISCOE Editorial Committee.

These geographic and social boundaries constitute the nation state as a collective agent. Immigrants moving into the nationalised territories and societies raise questions about the permeability of established boundaries. Thus, immigration and the integration of newcomers are a national concern in most member states of the EU and abroad. Lately, however, it has become increasingly accepted that the majority of immigrants, particularly in Europe, are living in cities and small towns in rural areas . Consequently, the awareness that migrant integration takes place at the local level has entered current political and scientific discourses on integration.1 In fact, the acceleration of international migration movements after World War II and increasingly since the mid-1980s, has pressured municipalities throughout Europe...

“…Du fait de leur expertise et de leur expérience, « ils interviennent directement aux différents stades du processus de décision et d'exécution » (Hoffmann-Martinot, 2007 : 157). À Montréal, le comité exécutif joue un rôle prédominant dans le système de prise de décision municipale depuis les années 1960 (Lustiger-Thaler, 1993). À Laval, l'accent est davantage mis sur le rôle du maire, Gilles Vaillancourt.…”

Résumé. Comment expliquer les différences entre les processus d'institutionnalisation des lieux de culte dans plusieurs villes? Notre article analyse l'établissement de lieux de culte musulmans à Montréal et à Laval. En suivant une approche néo-institutionnelle, nous montrons que des configurations institutionnelles – caractérisées par les relations intergouvernementales, les discours encadrant l'accommodement des demandes ethnoculturelles, les relations avec les élus et les fonctionnaires ainsi que les différentes formes de relations avec les groupes ethnoreligieux au niveau municipal – façonnent les processus d'institutionnalisation des lieux de culte et ce, par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme, soit la personnalisation, réussie ou non, des canaux de médiation. La personnalisation des canaux de médiation entre les autorités religieuses et municipales correspond à un processus d'institutionnalisation de type politique alors que l'échec de cette personnalisation correspond à un processus d'institutionnalisation de type administratif.Abstract. How does one account for the different processes of institutionalization of places of worship in different cities? To answer this question, the article analyses the establishment of Muslim places of worship in Montréal and Laval. Using a neo-institutional approach, I demonstrate how institutional configurations – characterised by the following: the state of inter-governmental relations; the discourses surrounding the accommodation of ethno-cultural and ethno-religious demands; the relations among local actors, especially elected officials and municipal public servants; and forms of mediation between municipalities and ethno-religious groups – impact on the processes of institutionalization, and this, through a mechanism, the degree of personalisation of mediation channels. My principal hypothesis is that personalisation of mediation channels leads to a political process of institutionalization whereas non-personalisation of these channels leads to an administrative one.
