The Road to Nowhere
In his influential book The road to somewhere David Goodhart claims that a split between a majority of people who are rooted in particular places or groups (the “Somewheres”) and a minority of people who are or can be at home anywhere in the world (the “Anywheres”) is at the heart of many contemporary political conflicts. According to him, the Anywheres dominate public discourse and political decisions, while the preferences of the Somewheres are…
(No) money for others? Perceived unfairness, support for welfare state intervention, and attitudes toward interregional redistribution
Territorial inequalities are a matter of growing concern in many advanced democracies, as they may leave citizens in disadvantaged areas feeling ‘left behind.’ Interregional transfers can mitigate these inequalities, but redistribution creates winners and losers among the regions, making such transfers politically contentious. We analyze support for interregional transfers in Germany and Switzerland, two established federations with large interre…
Making sense of federalism – insights from an open-ended survey question
Setting limits to tolerance
Tolerating others' opinions, even if disliked, is a cornerstone of liberal democracy. At the same time, there are limits to political tolerance as tolerating extremists and groups who use violence would threaten the foundations of tolerance itself. We study people's willingness to set limits to tolerance in case of violence and extremism (scope of tolerance)—under different conditions regarding ideological groups (left-wing, right-wing, religious…
Attitudes vs. actions? Direct-democratic preferences and participation of populist citizens
Direct-democratic instruments are often seen as a cure for the current disenchantment with representative democracy. While research has begun to investigate whether direct-democratic instruments match the procedural preferences of populist citizens, it is an under-researched question whether populist citizens and populist voters would actually participate in direct-democratic voting. This study advances existing research by focussing both on dire…
Communal and Exchange-Based Trust in Germany Thirty Years After Reunification
It is uncontested that political trust is highly relevant in democratic political systems. Although scholars have begun to study to a larger extent political trust in new democracies, this latter interest has faded away in recent times. To reinvigorate awareness of this area, thirty years after German reunification, we take stock of political trust in East and West Germany. Drawing on ESS data from 2002 to 2018 (ESS 1–9), we study empirically the…
A Matter of Trust
Considered effective? How policy evaluations and threat perceptions affect support for surveillance in the context of terrorism
Surveillance policies aimed at combating terrorism and improving public security can also lead to constraints on civil liberties. In view of this trade‐off between the potential benefits and risks of surveillance, it is particularly important to study how effectiveness considerations shape public support for surveillance. We argue that effectiveness perceptions enhance policy support, but that the manner in which citizens view policy effectivenes…
Belonging and exclusion
A collective regional identity is a favourable condition for the acceptance of majority decisions made at the regional level and for the delegation of competencies from the central to regional governments. Moreover, a regional identity can play an important role in times of global challenges. Regional attachment might generate a we-feeling and help individuals to cope better with a complex world. The same feeling, however, might also serve as a b…
Responding to Policy Signals? An Experimental Study on Information about Policy Adoption and Data Retention Policy Support in Germany
Objective We analyze whether and how individuals react to information about the adoption of a particular policy, with a focus on the role of conservatism. Methods We conducted an online survey experiment on support for data retention in Germany. A recent law on this issue allowed us to test the effects of two policy signals, information about the adoption of a new law (law signal) and information that this followed a Constitutional Court decision…
History is not Bunk. Tradition, Political Economy and Regional Identity in the GermanLänder
The question of regional identity in the German Länder has received only little attention so far. It is of great political importance, however, as a collective identity at the regional level is a favourable condition for binding decisions to be made on that level or for the delegation of competencies from the central to regional governments. Based on data from the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) 2016 we show that the vast majority of German…
The Missing Link? Modernization, Tolerance, and Legislation on Homosexuality
Research suggests that modernization is an important driver of liberalization in the field of gay and lesbian rights. Surprisingly, it has often been assumed—but not empirically examined—that a culture of tolerance mediates the relationship between socioeconomic modernization and liberal legislation. This article closes this gap by analyzing the seventy-three countries that took part in the fifth and sixth waves of the World Values Survey. As gov…
Trusting and controlling? Political trust, information and acceptance of surveillance policies
Sooner or later
Starting in the 1990s, almost all Western democracies recognized same-sex partnerships within just over two decades. This study examines which factors accelerated or decelerated these legal changes. It focuses on the effects of several facets of culture: attitudes towards homosexuality in general; attitudes towards gays and lesbians as people; and religiosity. An event history analysis of 19 Western countries shows that the less tolerant people a…
Are Incentive Effects on Response Rates and Nonresponse Bias in Large-scale, Face-to-face Surveys Generalizable to Germany? Evidence from Ten Experiments
In survey research, a consensus has grown regarding the effectiveness of incentives encouraging survey participation across different survey modes and target populations. Most of this research has been based on surveys from the United States, whereas few studies have provided evidence that these results can be generalized to other contexts. This paper is the first to present comprehensive information concerning the effects of incentives on respon…
Causes and contexts of tax morale
In political theory, the subject of tax morale is closely linked to issues of citizenship and civic duties. Research on tax morale, however, is still rather underdeveloped in political science. In this article, we systematically compare a rational considerations approach with an approach focusing on the influence of community orientations on an individual’s tax morale. We expect that contexts varying with the existence and duration of communist r…
Embellishing Welfare State Reforms? Political Trust and the Support for Welfare State Reforms in Germany
Even though political trust has been well studied so far in its structure, development and conditions, there are hardly any analyses dealing with the important question of what political trust – and particularly a lack or decline of political trust – implies for the citizens' reaction to public policy and policy changes. This article will focus on the effects of political trust on the willingness of German citizens to accept recent reforms of ret…
Sobre o verdadeiro valor dos valores
A pesquisa norte-americana sobre tolerância tradicionalmente discute a influência da educação sobre a tolerância política. Esses debates são transferidos para o contexto alemão e o artigo tenta complementar as pesquisas anteriores sobre tolerância com uma combinação de explicações baseadas em valores e descobertas sobre os sistemas de crença de massa e sobre as heurísticas na tomada de decisão. Supõe-se que os níveis de educação e sofisticação po…
