The study of two Belgian cities and four parties shows a marked discrepancy between the efforts to include ethnic minority candidates and their level of inclusion in the local party structures as individual members, as party officials or as a party subdivision. A possible explanation is that political parties only promote the representation of ethnic minorities out of concern for their own electoral competitiveness, and not based on an unconditional commitment to the full political integration of ethnic minorities. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4082586 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-4082586 http://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9256.12018 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4082586/file/6800571 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4082586/file/6800571 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess POLITICS ISSN: 0263-3957 Social Sciences representation inclusion LEGISLATURES ethnic minorities political party CARTEL PARTY ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTIVE REPRESENTATION Visible ethnic minorities in local political parties: a case study of two Belgian cities (Antwerp and Ghent) journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
