During the past decades, many advanced liberal democracies have become more ethnically diverse societies. This book breaks new ground in the analysis of the political representation of immigrants and visible minorities both theoretically and empirically. It examines the upward trend in migrant and minority representation and demonstrates that there remain crucial differences across liberal democracies in the timing of these developments; in channels of access for minority representatives, in the policy focus and outcomes of minority representation; in the nature of the connections between minority representatives and minority communities, and in the nature of their relationships with constituents at large.Part I analyses immigrants and visible minorities as voters, who must be the starting point of any analysis of political representation. Part II deals with the stage of candidate selection within political parties, a crucial and under-researched stage in the process of political representation. Part III deals with immigrants and members of visible minorities, once elected to parliament and includes analyses of the Canadian Parliament, the German Bundestag, MPs in the United Kingdom and Members of the United States Congress. The book will of interest to students and scholars of migration and ethnicity studies and political science, especially those with an interest in political representation, democratic institutions, voting behaviour, party organisation, legislative behaviour and comparative politics. 410 0$aRoutledge/ECPR studies in European political science ;$v70. 606 $aMinorities$xPolitical activity$vCongresses 606 $aImmigrants$xPolitical activity$vCongresses 606 $aMinority legislators$vCongresses 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$vCongresses 606 $aComparative government$vCongresses 615 0$aMinorities$xPolitical activity 615 0$aImmigrants$xPolitical activity 615 0$aMinority legislators 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 615 0$aComparative government 676 $a328.3/3408 701 $aBird$b Karen$f1966-$01500813 701 $aSaalfeld$b Thomas$f1960-$01020313 701 $aWust$b Andreas M$0326800 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785263903321 996 $aThe political representation of immigrants and minorities$93727637 997 $aUNINA
