The Looming Refugee Crisis in the EU: Right‐Wing Party Competition and Strategic Positioning
Despite a rise in the number of competitive far right parties leading up to the European refugee crisis, some centre right parties achieved or maintained electoral success. We argue that some centre right parties recognize the electoral opportunity for radical right parties to exploit the refugee crisis for electoral gains and strategically adopt hard‐line positions on immigration to maintain and even increase their electoral success. We test our…
Losers together? Grand coalitions in the EU member states
Over the last two decades, the formation of grand coalitions has grown in the European Union (EU), even in countries with no previous political experience with them. Alongside a significant rise in both new and radical parties, grand coalitions signal the increasing fragmentation of contemporary European politics. We, therefore, investigate the electoral performance of both mainstream and new parties entering and leaving grand coalitions. We find…
Centre right and radical right party competition in Europe: Strategic emphasis on immigration, anti-incumbency, and economic crisis
Another chance? Concerns about inequality, support for the European Union and further European integration
Following the 2007–2008 financial crisis, it was expected that the economic downturn and the widening of economic disparities would produce lower support for the European Union (EU) and its continued integration. Using the 2009 European Election Study (EES) data in 27 EU member states, we find that citizens who see greater economic instability and insecurity, regardless of their current economic status, lower their support for the EU as it is but…
The Deterioration of Democratic Political Culture: Consequences of the Perception of Inequality
Being unequal and seeing inequality: Explaining the political significance of social inequality in new market democracies
Market economies inevitably generate social inequalities, of which the new democracies of Central and East European (CEE) societies have seen dramatic - though widely diverging - levels of growth. Do CEE citizens believe that inequality is excessive and, if so, why? And what is the connection between perceptions of social inequality and citizens' views of new markets and democracy? These questions are addressed using new data from mass surveys co…
Agreeing in Principle: Utilitarianism and Economic Values as Support for the European Union in Central and Eastern Europe
Using new mass surveys in central and eastern Europe, this article tests utilitarianism and economic values as the bases of support for the European Union. Advancing our understanding, the empirical findings point to increasingly nuanced economic criteria as the perception of social inequality strongly and independently influences EU support
Understanding Media Socialization in Democratizing Countries: Mobilization and Malaise in Central and Eastern Europe
Survey data from the mid-1990s in Central and Eastern Europe provide empirical evidence that individuals' perceptions of their own efficacy benefit from mass media chiefly through deliberate, information-seeking media consumption. Grounded in the media mobilization/ malaise debate, the findings suggest that individuals can benefit from mass media less through what or how much they consume than through the intention of their consumption. They also…
Media Dependency: Mass Media as Sources of Information in the Democratizing Countries of Central and Eastern Europe
The theory of media dependency states that for societies in states of crisis or instability, citizens are more reliant on mass media for information and as such are more susceptible to their effects. As there is little empirical evidence of how citizens use mass media in democratizing countries, this article demonstrates that individuals' media use is not only heightened during democratic transition but is also a function of a deliberate informat…
