Abstract

Abstract With the case of Sweden as its focus, this article contributes to the research on state–Islam relations in Europe. From a comparative European perspective, it demonstrates that Sweden departs from what is generally presented as the common pattern when it comes to when, how and why state-Islam relations were first established. Previous theorising on this topic, primarily connected with Jonathan Laurence’s seminal work on state–Islam relations in Europe, argues that such relations follow two phases, namely (1) Embassy Islam (1960–1990) and (2) the institutionalisation of domestic relations with (national) Muslim Councils (1990-onwards). Our conclusion, however, is that Sweden skipped the first phase and went directly to the second in the mid-1970s. This, we argue, can be explained as the (unplanned) result of a general change in church–state relations in Sweden.

瑞典国家与伊斯兰教关系的早期制度化

本文以瑞典为研究对象，对欧洲国家与伊斯兰教的关系进行研究。从比较欧洲的角度来看，这表明瑞典在何时、如何以及为什么建立国家-伊斯兰关系方面偏离了通常呈现的共同模式。先前关于这一主题的理论，主要与乔纳森·劳伦斯关于欧洲国家-伊斯兰关系的开创性工作有关，他认为这种关系遵循两个阶段，即:(1)大使馆伊斯兰(1960-1990)和(2)与(国家)穆斯林委员会的国内关系制度化(1990年起)。然而，我们的结论是，瑞典在20世纪70年代中期跳过了第一阶段，直接进入了第二阶段。我们认为，这可以解释为瑞典政教关系总体变化的(计划外的)结果。
