Ethnicities
The paper discusses one of the most compelling policy issues facing liberal democracies in Europe: what policy tools can be used to promote social cohesion in a pluralist multi-ethnic society with different moral and religious and ethical values, and cultural and linguistic traditions? We focus on the role that citizenship education has taken since the early 2000s in light of the integration of immigrant children in schools in the Netherlands and England. Citizenship education is designed to integrate immigrant groups socially, foster their loyalty to the state, and encourage them to become engaged in democratic politics. Our empirical analysis advances our understanding of the policy ramifications of a new turn in integration policies directed towards stronger civic integration through sharing common values and moral standards.

Analyzing the legislative process of the 2012 Health and Social Care Act in Britain, we investigate the different uses of “accountability” in the committee debates. Based on the minutes of the Public Bill Committee from 2010 to 2011, we examine the contested accountability relationships in relation to the Secretary of State for Health, the Monitor, and the Health and Wellbeing Boards. On the one hand, we discern a shift away from traditional forms of accountability toward professional, managerial, and legal forms of accountability. On the other hand, we note how the concept of “accountability” is used in various ways to gloss this shift over, whilst traditional political accountability is reasserted.
