Abstract

Civilnodružbena in politična participacija priseljencev v državi sprejema sta pomembni dimenziji integracijskega procesa. Kljub temu pogosto prihaja do omejevanja dostopa priseljencev do različnih oblik participacije, bodisi zaradi pravnih ovir bodisi zaradi neformalnega nasprotovanja večinskega prebivalstva. Namen članka je preveriti, kakšen je odnos večinskega prebivalstva do civilnodružbene in politične participacije priseljencev v Sloveniji in kateri dejavniki vplivajo na ta odnos. Anketa, izvedena na reprezentativnem vzorcu prebivalcev Slovenije, je pokazala pretežno odklonilen odnos do civilnodružbene in politične participacije priseljencev. Predvsem izstopa nasprotovanje aktivni in pasivni volilni pravici priseljencev. Kot relevantni dejavniki, ki vplivajo na ta odnos, so se pokazali spol, starost, izobrazba, tip naselja, v katerem anketiranci prebivajo, in njihova ideološka usmeritev.

Secondary abstract:	The civic and political participation of immigrants in the receiving country are important dimensions of the integration process. However, immigrants often encounter various barriers in accessing individual forms of participation, either due to legal barriers or due to informal opposition from the majority population. This article aims to examine the attitudes of the majority population towards the civic and political participation of immigrants in Slovenia and the factors influencing such attitudes. The survey on a representative sample of Slovene residents revealed predominantly negative attitudes of the majority population towards both civic and political participation of immigrants. Particularly notable is the opposition to granting immigrants active and passive voting rights. Relevant factors influencing such attitudes include gender, age, education, the type of settlement in which the respondents reside, and their ideological orientation.
