Political and ideological issues are among the issues that affect the integration of immigrants. Political integration contributes to their general integration into host societies. Although they gradually change in the new socio-political environment, there are various factors that prevent the rapid political integration of the first generation of immigrants. All this is discussed in another output of the Gerda Henkel Foundation-funded project on changes in the political identity of Kurdish immigrants in Western Europe, presented at the Migration Conference at the University of Hamburg on August 23-26. This was a paper about the political-ideological change of Kurdish immigrants from Iran/Eastern Kurdistan and their political integration with the title “Examining Leftist background and Ethno-national Identity in Political Attitude of Kurdish Immigrants in Western Europe,” which was presented and discussed in the “Migration and Integration” Panel. Using a qualitative approach, the paper analyses how the interviewees moved ideologically from Marxism towards social democracy. This shows that their leftist background has influenced their political attitudes, although they have moved from the authoritarian left to the libertarian left. This change has provided a context for their ethno-national identity, previously silenced by left ideology, to further influence their political attitudes. In this regard, the socio-political and ideological atmosphere of Western Europe has been effective. This paper will be published in the future with its details in an academic journal.
