This book analyzes the threshold candidates of immigrant background
need to overcome to run for legislative office. Understanding
whether political parties are able to adapt their selection
criteria helps to assess their ability to respond to the
underrepresentation of citizens of immigrant origin in parliament.
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 studies as well as policy-makers
and party officials interested in a balanced representation of
their political representatives.
