Understanding Support for Diversity
Understanding popular responses to immigration and sociocultural diversification is an important concern. Sometimes they are seen as key to a new cleavage dividing democratic societies. Previous research has often focused on attitudes towards levels and types of new migration, and mainly analysed hostility towards immigration. Yet European societies have also accommodated sociocultural diversification resulting from decades of immigration. How ca…
Widespread, but also popular? Exploring attitudes to diversity policies
Diversity policies have become a common element of public policy-making in Europe. At the European, national, regional and local levels, efforts are made to meet demands arising from a growing socio-cultural diversity and to ensure more equal participation of disadvantaged groups. And yet, little is known about the reception of such policies among the general public. This article addresses this gap. Based on an original and representative survey …
Diffuse Vielfalt
Menschen nehmen permanent alltägliche Ordnungsleistungen vor. Unter anderem differenzieren und kategorisieren sie die sie umgebenden Menschen. Welche Bedeutung solche alltagsweltlichen Differenzierungen haben, ist bislang unzureichend untersucht. Dieser Beitrag zeigt, dass eine Analyse subjektiver Wahrnehmungen und Beschreibungen, hier der Wohnumgebung, aufschlussreich ist für ein Verständnis von Einstellungen zu Vielfalt und Migration. Zugrunde …

Societal transformation and organisational change
This article investigates how and why advocacy organisations adapt to social diversification. Advocacy organisations play a key role in the formation and articulation of interests as well as their aggregation in political claims. But whose interests are represented? While we know that underrepresentation of minorities is a typical phenomenon, we know less about changes towards more inclusion and representation. Drawing on a detailed qualitative s…
Diversity assent
Recent evidence suggests that in many European countries generally positive views about societal diversity predominate. Yet, as research has rather focussed on negative attitudes towards immigration and diversity, less is known about positive attitudes and those who hold them. The paper makes a conceptual and an empirical contribution to filling this gap. We introduce a multidimensional concept, "diversity assent", to capture both evaluations of …
Who supports refugees? Diversity assent and pro-refugee engagement in Germany
During the 2015 “summer of welcome”, the mass arrival of refugees to Germany triggered widely publicised acts of pro-refugee solidarity among citizens. To date, scholarship has largely focused on hostility towards immigrants—including refugees-, and few studies shed light on the determinants of acceptance, so that refugee solidarity remains poorly understood. In this paper, we hypothesise that pro-refugee engagement does not just reflect humanita…
The immigrant presence in collaborative structures of urban politics
Participation and representation of disadvantaged groups are important, but partly still understudied aspects of democratic politics. The present article looks at the inclusion of migrant representatives in urban governance networks making use of original survey data from 40 large cities in France and Germany. We find that about half of policy‐relevant urban actors in both countries and across cities cooperate with migrant associations regularly.…
Diversity in Local Political Practice
Has the Covid-19 pandemic undermined public support for a diverse society? Evidence from a natural experiment in Germany
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to widespread worries that the health crisis is resulting in generalized hostility towards minorities and reduced support for a diverse society. Relying on a large survey of diversity attitudes in Germany fielded before and during the pandemic, we employ a quasi-experimental design to evaluate whether such a trend has occurred among the general public. Past work suggests two competing expectations – one anticipating …
Understanding support for immigrant political representation
Immigrant-origin residents are under-represented in many West European legislatures, and this is often seen as a problem for democratic legitimacy. Yet little is known about the level of demand for immigrant-origin political representation, whether among immigrant-origin residents or among non-migrants. We present new evidence from surveys in German cities, and examine factors that may explain variation in the desire for migrant-origin political …
Vielfalt and diversité
In both Germany and France, perceptions of immigration, diversity and their societal consequences have undergone important transformations in the past two decades. However, existing research has only partially captured such processes. The “grand narratives” of national approaches, while still influential, no longer explain contemporary realities. Further, analyses of national politics and discourses may not sufficiently reflect the realities acro…
Economy or Justice? How Urban Actors Respond to Diversity
The diversification of population, demands for recognition, and the spread of diversity policies present new challenges to European cities. Do urban actors respond to this development in different ways across cities? Can we distinguish a logic determined by economic considerations or rather a justice-oriented logic? This article presents evidence from 20 German cities based on an original survey of important urban actors. This design reflects cur…
Diversity in local political practice
This article frames and introduces the contributions to a special issue. Their focus is on France and Germany, not only two major immigration countries in Europe, but also countries where local authorities have a relatively strong position within the state structure. While other studies have often focused on policy declarations, the eight articles in this special issue provide rich evidence on the content and implementation of policies. Furthermo…

Public organisations and diversity
In research on migration and ethnicity, institutions and organisations have traditionally played an important role. Citizenship law and institutional discrimination, to name just two examples, have been key research topics. And yet, we maintain that, first, ongoing pro- cesses of diversification present new challenges to the existing institutional structures of major countries of immigration. Second, the specifics of organisations are understudie…

The New Differentialism
There is widespread agreement among scholars that the 1990s and 2000s witnessed a re-orientation of immigrant policies across western European countries. According to the literature, this re-orientation featured a new and strong focus on encouraging the adjustment of immigrants to the mainstream cultures and political norms of receiving societies. Our article looks back on the developments in Germany since the mid-1990s to examine these assumptio…
Immigration and social interaction
The article investigates to what extent the presence of immigrants in urban environments is reflected in the personal social interactions of their residents. Starting from the assumption that social interactions are complex products of contextual conditions, individual characteristics and personal preferences, we examine potentially varying effects of the presence of immigrants in a neighbourhood and city on different forms of social interaction,…
Extending Urban Democracy? The Immigrant Presence in European Electoral Politics
Many European cities have significant shares of immigrants among their inhabitants. Their unequal access to the political life of the cities, and the country overall, is a major democratic deficit. This introduction to the symposium emphasises the need to consider immigrants as actors in politics and explains the specific relevance of the local level. While the focus of the symposium is on European countries with a longer history of immigration, …
The New Immigrant Elite in German Local Politics
The article investigates some consequences of immigration on urban politics. On the basis of original data, it first discusses to what extent the councils of big German cities reflect the new immigration-related diversity of the population. Second, it asks to what extent the elected immigrant officials mirror the immigrant population. The article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the selectivity of political careers in diverse socie…
Immigrant and Ethnic Minority Representation in Europe
This article introduces the symposium on the representation of immigrant-origin and ethnic minorities in Europe. It argues for the importance of research on this topic, noting the large, established populations of immigrant-origin citizens and their descendants across Western European countries and these minorities’ underrepresentation in elected bodies. Current research gaps concern both empirical knowledge and the theoretical conceptualisation …
Immigrant Representation in Germany’s Regional States
Immigrants and their descendants are becoming increasingly visible in Germany’s political life. What determines immigrant political incorporation into parliamentary positions over time and in specific contexts? The article focuses on the regional parliaments of Germany’s 16 states. A comparative analysis enables us to specify whether, how and under what conditions factors thought to impact levels of immigrant representation are indeed influential…
A Bridge or Barrier to Incorporation? Germany's 1999 Citizenship Reform in Critical Perspective
This article probes the consequences of Germany's 1999 citizenship reform as it pertains to the incorporation of immigrants. We maintain that the law's principled rejection of dual citizenship and related stipulation that children born into German nationality via the law's revolutionary jus soli provision choose between their German citizenship or that of their non-German parents between the ages of eighteen and twenty-three is unfair, potentiall…

Immigrant Settlement Structures in Germany
This article investigates the settlement structures of foreigners and, specifically, of Turks, ex-Yugoslavs, Italians, Greeks and ex-Soviets in Germany. The main data source is the as yet unexploited dataset of the Inner-city Spatial Observatory, complemented by data from the 2005 sample census and city statistics. Immigrant settlement is shown to be widely dispersed across west German cities. Within cities, ethnic neighbourhoods are rare. Immigr…
Why Germany’s guestworkers were largely Europeans
The article demonstrates that West Germany in the 1950s to 1970s not only recruited millions of foreign workers but also systematically excluded potential migrants of African and Asian origins. Like many other countries in the post-war decades, West Germany practised a migration policy that entailed exclusion on the basis of national origins. But unlike other countries, it never officially lifted these restrictions, and there was never a wide-ran…

How the Federal Republic Became an Immigration Country
With the passage of a new citizenship law in 1999 and the so-calledZuwanderungsgesetz (Migration Law) of 2004, contemporary Germanyhas gone a long way toward acknowledging its status as an immigrationcountry (Einwanderungsland). Yet, Germany is still regarded bymany as a "reluctant" land of immigration, different than traditionalimmigration countries such as Canada, the United States, and Australia.It owes this image to the fact that many of toda…

‘Persons persecuted on political grounds shall enjoy the right of asylum — but not in our country’
'There is the so-called "right of asylum" but it is much more a right on the part of the Government to grant asylum than a right on the part of the alien to have it.' This is how David Renton explained the position of the British government to the House of Commons in 1961 (15 November 1961, Hansard, col. 431). Until 1993 the situation in the Federal Republic of Germany was different. In West Germany's de facto constitution of 1949, the Basic Law,…
