The Romeikes described themselves as refugees seeking safe haven from inevitable persecution were they to be forced to return to their home country. Those who heard of their plight might have assumed the Romeikes had lived under an oppressive regime. In actuality, the Romeike family was from Germany. German law requires that parents enroll their children in an officially organized public or private/religious school, but the Romeikes wished to teach their children at home and claimed that the absence of choice on this matter was oppressive. Many observers found the Romeikes’ request for asylum confusing, insofar as not only are German schools, like many European schools, respected for their educational achievements, but Germany’s government is a parliamentary democracy. Was the parents’ desire for an alternative schooling option a sufficient basis for granting political asylum to citizens from a constitutional democracy? Should political asylum status be reserved for those seeking escape from nondemocratic systems? This chapter analyzes democratic and nondemocratic political systems and helps you understand the Romeike case from the perspective of participatory, pluralist, developmental, protective, and performance democracy. After reading this chapter, you will have numerous analytical tools for deciding whether you agree with the federal immigration .
