How German Parties Select Candidates of Immigrant Origin
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-59453-4 (ISBN)
Although Germany's ethnic diversity is on a steady rise, citizens of immigrant origin remain descriptively underrepresented. Despite the pivotal role the intra-party candidate selection plays in shaping who runs for election, the question of how candidates of immigrant background fare in political parties' candidate selection in comparison to native-born candidates remained a blind spot of research. Therefore, the author presents in-depth empirical evidence on the selection of candidates of immigrant background in German political parties.
The book addresses scholars of political science interested in electoral studiesas well as policy-makers and party officials interested in a balanced representation of their political representatives.
lt;b>Sara Ceyhan received her doctorate from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Goethe University of Frankfurt (Germany). After years of research focused on the selection of parliamentary candidates, she started working in the field of strategic communication analysis for EU institutions.
