Underdeveloped : more political participation?! : the intensity and nature of political participation of ethnic minorities in Enschede Noord and Tamana compared

The focus of this research is on political participation of ethnic minorities. In India I conducted research on political participation of tribals in local self governance processes in Tamana. Afterwards the idea emerged to compare the participation of this tribal ethnic minority with the political participation of an ethnic minority in for example The Netherlands, instead of benchmarking it to the ideal of democracy. In this research the nature and intensity of political participation of the Turkish ethnic minority in Enschede Noord will be compared with the nature and intensity of the political participation of the tribal ethnic minority in Tamana. This comparison will be made with help of literature as well as interviews, a survey research and observations
