Nicht Integration, sondern Partizipation: das Ausländerwahlrecht als Menschenrecht einer liberalen Theorie des Staatsvolks.

The article discusses giving foreigners in Germany the right to vote so that they can participate in society, and not simply integrate. The author discusses the problem of "Ausländerfeindlichkeit," xenophobia, asks what the basis of equality among individuals in a society is, and refers to the American War of Independence from the British colonial rulers. Finally it discusses the right to vote in a democracy not as an expression of a person's equality but as one of political freedom.
