The phenomenon of the Muslim diaspora in the Benelux countries: comparative analysis

The Muslim diaspora in the structure of society plays a factor role in influencing the processes of political decision-making in the states of the European Union. The object of comparative political analysis is the Benelux countries - Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Through triangulation of the subject (synthesis of factorial, cross-cultural, comparative methods), the duality of general identifications and country properties of the phenomenon is revealed. A comparative retrospective analysis of the formation and development of the Islamic diaspora in the Benelux countries is of scientific and practical interest. Trends in the influence of the Islamic diaspora on the transformation of Benelux politics in the context of geopolitical challenges have been identified.
