Beyond the cultural backlash: Exploring diverse pathways to authoritarian populism in Europe
This article critically examines the cultural backlash theory proposed by Norris and Inglehart [Cultural Backlash] to explain the rise of authoritarian populism in the US and Europe. While the theory emphasizes the conservative mobilization against progressive values, we argue that the success of authoritarian populism in Europe cannot be attributed solely to a cultural backlash. We contend that different European countries have unique historical…

Tactical Voting in Norway: Context, Motives and Occurrence
Hitherto, tactical voting has not been a topic in Norwegian electoral research, despite the fact that tactical considerations have been publically discussed both by politicians and citizens for years. The complexity of the electoral system is partly to blame. Norwegian voters experience a number of tactical situations that give rise to rather different dilemmas, and hence several tactical motives. These need to be mapped and analysed separately. …
Wearing the veil: Hijab, Islam and job qualifications as determinants of social attitudes towards immigrant women in Norway
Immigrant women are a particularly vulnerable part of the immigrant population. In this paper we analyse negative attitudes towards immigrant women in Norway. We focus on immigrant women's formal job qualifications, their religious background and wearing of hijab - the headscarf sometimes used by Muslim women. Using survey-embedded experiments we are able to analyse the net effects on attitudes of job qualifications, Islamic religious background …

Does Public Broadcasting Make a Difference? Political Knowledge and Electoral Campaigns on Television
The political role of the modern media and the impact on public opinion has come under intense scrutiny. The arguments in the scientific dispute have been structured under the optimistic ‘cognitive mobilisation’ and pessimistic ‘media malaise’ banners. For obvious reasons the role of television has been most intensely discussed. TV has the widest reach and is believed to have to the strongest impact. So far, much of the exchange of arguments has …
Do Television Debates in Multiparty Systems affect Viewers? A Quasi‐ experimental Study with First‐time Voters
Television debates have become the centre stage for political debate in advanced societies. Although presidential debates in the United States have achieved much attention, the same cannot be said of the more typical panel debates in multiparty systems. This article investigates whether winning or losing panel debates matters in that it influences important attitudes among the electorate. Based on a quasi‐experimental design prior to the 2001 Nor…

All That is Solid Melts into Air: Party Identification in Norway
For two decades researchers have been arguing whether profound changes were taking place in electoral politics or not. Surprisingly little attention has been paid to party identification in the European debate. In Norway, party identification has dropped dramatically since the mid‐1980s. We hypothesize that the strong psychological ties between citizens and parties, described as party identification, have become a rare occurrence for several reas…
The 1994 EU Referendum in Norway: Continuity and Change
In the 1994 EU referendum a majority of Norwegian voters rejected membership in the European Union. The outcome contrasts with victories for membership in the corresponding referendums in Austria, Finland and Sweden. The article reports a preliminary investigation of factors relating to the support for “no”. Analysis of aggregate data (representing 435 municipalities) and survey data demonstrates the importance of traditional cleavages as well as…
The Many Faces of Education: Why are people with lower education more hostile towards immigrants than people with higher education?
Research differs a great deal as to the reasons why highly educated people in many surveys express more positive views about ethnic and other minorities than the lower educated. Six main types of explanation have been put forward; (1) Tolerance and conception of rights are among the norms that the educators try to impart. The longer the education, the greater the chance of the students’ internalizing these norms. (2) Education will confer knowled…
