About this book

Comparing differences in migrant political participation, the author discusses the influence that institutions have on opportunities and constraints for migrants' political engagement. The book adopts a multi-country comparative approach, highlighting three areas where institutions influence the scope for migrant actors in Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Germany and the UK: - Strategies adopted by organized migrant interests in response to specific political structures - The role of identity and its relevance in explaining varying political participation - Institutional effects on the relationship between migrant organizations and political parties
