Immigrant Incorporation in Political Parties
This book seeks to explore the potentialities of strengthening a new field of research within migration and diversity studies, that of immigrant incorporation in political parties. The point of departure of all the contributions is that there is what we call a diversity gap between political parties as public representative organisations and diversity dynamics in democratic societies. This book seeks to explore the current strategies of political parties, developing first conceptual frameworks, theoretical foundations, and empirical hypothesis and approaches, examining case studies from four European countries: Germany, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Ethnic and Racial Studies

The journal Ethnic and Racial Studies was founded in 1978 by John Stone to provide an international forum for high-quality research on race, ethnicity, nationalism and ethnic conflict. At the time the study of race and ethnicity was still a relatively marginal sub-field of sociology, anthropology and political science. In the intervening period, the journal has provided a space for the discussion of core theoretical issues, key developments and trends, and for the dissemination of the latest empirical research.
It is now the leading journal in its field and has helped to shape the development of scholarly research agendas. Ethnic and Racial Studies attracts submissions from scholars in a diverse range of countries and fields of scholarship, and crosses disciplinary boundaries. It is now available in both printed and electronic form. From 2015 it will publish 15 issues per year, three of which will be dedicated to Ethnic and Racial Studies Review offering expert guidance to the latest research through the publication of book reviews, symposia and discussion pieces, including reviews of work in languages other than English.
The Ethnic and Racial Studies book series contains a wide range of the journals special issues. These special issues are an important contribution to the work of the journal, where leading social science academics bring together articles on specific themes and issues that are linked to the broad intellectual concerns of Ethnic and Racial Studies. The series editors work closely with the guest editors of the special issues to ensure that they meet the highest quality standards possible. Through publishing these special issues as a series of books, we hope to allow a wider audience of both scholars and students from across the social science disciplines to engage with the work of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
