In a recent study, Hanna Wass, Päivi Pirkkalainen and Marjukka Weide drew on the
Somali community in Finland as a case study to consider immigrants as a political
resource. They found that turnout among Somali‐born voters was only slightly lower than
native citizens, and that their engagement in civic associations is highly dynamic and
diverse. The results demonstrate that political potential of immigrants is often overlooked
and highlight that economic and social inclusion are closely intertwined with political
inclusion.
