20.500.12556/DiRROS-25239 The participation paradox immigrants’ civic and political engagement and majority attitudes in Slovenia Participacijski paradoks This article examines the participation paradox in Slovenia through three dimensions: the legal-political framework, immigrants’ civic and political participation, and majority attitudes. While civic rights are guaranteed to all residents, political rights remain stratified by citizenship and residence status, with full participation tied to naturalization. Survey results (N = 1,303) show that immigrants without Slovenian citizenship report lower civic membership and political participation than Slovenian citizens, even when eligible, while naturalized immigrants display higher engagement. Majority respondents accept immigrants’ civic involvement but oppose their electoral rights. The participation paradox thus stems from institutional restrictions, behavioural differences, and public scepticism. Članek obravnava participacijski paradoks v Sloveniji skozi tri dimenzije: pravno-politični okvir, civilnodružbeno in politično participacijo priseljencev ter odnos večine. Čeprav so civilne pravice zagotovljene vsem prebivalcem, politične pravice ostajajo stratificirane glede na državljanstvo in status prebivanja, polna participacija pa vezana na naturalizacijo. Anketni podatki (N = 1.303) kažejo, da imajo priseljenci brez slovenskega državljanstva nižje stopnje članstva v civilnodružbenih organizacijah in manj politično participirajo kot državljani, tudi kadar imajo volilno pravico, medtem ko naturalizirani izkazujejo večjo angažiranost. Večinsko prebivalstvo sprejema civilnodružbeno vključenost, a nasprotuje volilnim pravicam priseljencev. Participacijski paradoks oblikujejo institucionalne omejitve, vedenjske razlike in skepticizem večine. participation paradox immigrants civic participation political participation citizenship majority attitudes participacijski paradoks priseljenci civilnodružbena participacija politična participacija državljanstvo stališča večine Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-01-14 10:50:34 2026-01-14 10:50:34 2026-02-27 03:58:27 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 35-64 No. 95 dec. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-01 314.15 0354-0286 10.2478/tdjes-2025-0011 263472643 https://reference-global.com/article/10.2478/tdjes-2025-0011 1 7af599a4-f12e-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=38086 The_Participation_Paradox_Immigrants’_Civic_and_Political_Engagement_and_Majority_Attitudes_in_Slove.pdf The_Participation_Paradox_Immigrants’_Civic_and_Political_Engagement_and_Majority_Attitudes_in_Slove.pdf 1 99399F39C61D55BC3BF3DAB79DEF8F67 9e9b44dc77cd90608972bc3d1c17c2706c045efec75984a2b02eeda3e09bad63 7164aa99-12ec-11f1-9cb0-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40941 Inštitut za narodnostna vprašanja Razprave in gradivo 0 0 0
