ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the relevant academic literature, European Union (EU) and governmental reports or documents, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany as well as leaflets and other publications by the interviewed organizations. The responses to similar questions in Germany and Britain are seen as helpful to work out the differences and similarities in conceptual thinking in both countries. The interviews with senior personnel of the selected organizations offered valuable insight into the complex workings of racism, nationalism and citizenship for ethnic minorities in Germany and Britain in addition to the governmental or EU reports and academic literature. Interviews were conducted in Germany and Britain with senior personnel working in lobby groups/organizations or institutions in the so-called 'race relations field'. The British interviewees were also selected because they represent different levels of governance and are engaged in a range of activities in the field of 'race relations'.
