Northern Ireland of course is where the logic of the distinction was the place's entire raison d'etre - uniquely, not even the Netherlands with pillarisation did this.

I won't claim to know that much about it but I understand in the Netherlands especially there are some ... odd interactions with the pillarisation legacy

Pillarisation as it existed in Belgium and the Netherlands until the 70s/80s would also be a good, workable model

I'm European, so I definitely don't have the best read on this, but it seems to me that American politics have been subject to such incredible pillarisation these past years, that it's pretty much impossible for individual voters to jump over that gap, unless they really just vote for whatever

אנחנו לא החברה הראשונה שהייתה מפוצלת שבטית ותרבותית, זה עדיין לא מפריד לשני עמים שונים. לא כל כך מזמן הולנד הייתה ככה (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillari...) למשל.

The president of the historically Christian Belgian social insurance fund is saying that population ageing could be dealt with by making it easier for the old to get euthanised. Pretty funny to see the remnants of pillarisation with none of the content left.

I’m thinking about this because the Netherlands had horrific losses during the Holocaust partly because pillarization (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillari...) meant that everyone’s religious affiliation was officially recorded.

I still haven't found a good English-language text on verzuiling ('pillarisation') in the Netherlands, so maybe I eventually just have to write that for you people.

re the echo chamber, Netherlands had a period where the ENITE SOCIETY was siloed into 3 groups (protestant, Catholic, and soc-dem) there had their own sports, schools, Unis, Unions, 3 parallel civic societies. Might have actually cooled tensions, no need to fight for control over institutions.

Pillarisation — or why do the Dutch have big windows
The Netherlands hasn't always been as inclusive as it is now, thanks to pillarisation. But what is it and what impact did it have in the lowlands?

Your book title/premise intrigued me btw because I do think an underrated trend in European politics in recent years has been the revival of liberal parties due to secularization and de-pillarisation after universal suffrage generally put them in minor party status a century ago.

*Verzuiling* (*Pillarisation*) is a, er, 'pillar' of The Netherlands that was & is a fundamental part of Dutch society & one the Dutch remain remarkably coy about with foreigners (cf the English Class system's codes, which makes it look hopelessly unsophisticated).
