Nähe oder Distanz? Eine Analyse der politischen Partizipation von Menschen mit Einwanderungsgeschichte in Deutschland
摘要
The article examines different forms of political participation of people with and without an immigration ancestry, focusing on the participation of the second generation. Based on data from the Integration Barometer of the SVR and several surveys of the European Social Survey, an attempt is made to determine whether proximity or distance to Germany and its political system has a particular effect on the degree of political participation of the second generation. In addition to resources, the sense of belonging and trust in institutions is expected to have a particularly positive effect on political participation, especially in institutionalized forms, while experienced discrimination is likely to reduce this and instead lead to more frequent participation in forms of political protest. The analysis show that there are more general than generational influences on political participation, although migration- and generation-specific differences remain.
