Abstract
This study on political integration in the Netherlands has the objective to establish the level of political integration of citizens with a migration background, by comparing them with citizens of Dutch background on political activity, trust and preferences for values and democracy. The study wants to establish the effect of background on activity, trust and preferences. Mechanisms that can explain effects are found in the Evolutionary Theory of Emancipation and the Updated Assimilation Theory. The research is quantitative, using datasets from the World Values Survey and the European Social Survey. Results show shared preferences for a liberal democracy, but differences in political activity. Most migrant categories trust Dutch government less than the Dutch. Non-Western migrant categories have less preference for emancipative values. The background has an effect on integration, but values and education are also significant predictors. Policies for more political integration should focus on these variables.
