Recognition Policies in the Multicultural Cities of Ceuta and Melilla. DOI: http://dx.doi.org.10.18847/1.21.3

Abstract

The cities of Ceuta and Melilla constitute a model of multiculturalism based on minority recognition policies, with special attention to the Islamic minority. The development of these cities as multicultural spaces has been a protracted process that has been consolidated over the last two decades. This process, not without tensions, reveals the difficulties in implementing the recognition policies necessary for the stability of both cities.
