Abstract

In recent years the integration of migrants has been a central theme within European and particularly German politics and society. Principally the discussion on integration of migrants focuses on the labour market, education, or on principal measures of integration in the host countries, such as integration courses. However, Germany’s greatly increasing “super diversity” (Vertovec 2005, 2009) is mirrored in all sectors and segments of German society, not excluding political representation. The political participation of a Mowassat, Ozkan, or Sharma alongside a Schmidt, Maier, or Beck is already a routine part of German politics, but scholarly interest has not yet been directed towards politicians with migration backgrounds in Germany.
