// DISSERTATION PROJECT
Part of the GLOMO Project: Citizens of immigrant origin and political parties
The research project will examine the extent to which macro-level tendencies towards the professionalisation of political careers in European democracies affect the chances of candidates of immigrant origin to get nominated by political parties and elected by voters and affect collective sense making. This will also involve a study of the measures parties as organizations take to establish professional standards for the recruitment and advancement of candidates and holders of public offices.
