I tried to search more information for you. Unfortunately, my computer collapsed when I opened the nasty website of Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung Asia Office.
Ok, let's get started once again.
I believe the professor is pleased to admit you as his doctoral student. In other words, admission is out of question in your case.
Now what is of the biggest concern is the funding of your PhD study. As a common plight, seeking a source to fund the research is always a tough task for professors in social science. Therefore, it is straightforward for the professor to resort to some foundations who could give you a hand.
The application of a scholarship proves to be dependent on your luck, the fit of your topic with the aim of the foundation, the support and the network of your professor. As the above posts indicate, there is no guarantee.
In addition to DAAD, there are also some foundations in Germany sponsored by political parties. Such foundations favor applicants who research in social science, especially in politics, human rights and so forth. As a matter of fact, your research topic does really fit to them. Perhaps they will find interest.
I have found some for you.
1. Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung
Abteilung Studienförderung
Godesberger Allee 149
53175 Bonn http://www.fes.de/studienfoerderung/
FES, sponsored by SPD, is perhaps the biggest one.
5. Hans-Böckler-Stiftung
by Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbundes
I am not sure whether they sponsor foreign students who are not the member of the labor union.
Others may include
Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung
Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds
