Women’s Voting Preferences in Europe: A Replication of the Gender Gap Analysis on the National Level
In many Western European countries, on average, women tend to lean more left-wing than men, whereas a reverse gap exists in many Eastern European countries. Societal changes in recent times might have changed this gender gap. Using European Values Study data from 2017 to 2022, the researchers update the gender gap in twenty-nine European countries and test the generalizability of earlier identified macro-level factors impacting on the gender gap.…
Explaining democratic support in Pakistan and India using modernization theory and instrumentalism
Little is known about determinants of democratic support in South Asia. We study whether modernization theory and/or instrumentalism explain individual variations in democratic support in Pakistan and India. Modernization theory predicts that people with higher education and income and less religious people more strongly endorse self-expression values, which in turn enhance support for democracy. In contrast, instrumentalism theory predicts that …
Arrived in Power, and Yet Still Disgruntled? How Government Inclusion Moderates ‘Protest Voting’ for Far-Right Populist Parties in Europe
While debates about far-right populism often concentrate on Central and Eastern Europe, research on these parties predominantly focuses on Western countries. Addressing this remarkable gap, this article revisits the ‘protest voting’ explanation for electoral support for the far right. Using European Social Survey data (2002–16) from 22 countries, we show that political dissatisfaction is a stronger explanatory factor when far-right parties are in…
Dissecting Electoral Support for the Far Right: A Comparison between Mature and Post-Communist European Democracies
This article investigates three explanations for electoral support for the far right – ‘cultural backlash’, ‘economic grievances’ and ‘protest voting’ – in a novel way. Our main contribution is that we contrast far-right voters with voters of centre-right parties, traditional left-wing parties and abstainers. Equally innovative is the comparison between mature and post-communist democracies. Using European Social Survey data (2014–16), we conclud…
Refraining or Resisting: Responses of Green Movement Supporters to Repression During the 2013 Iranian Presidential Elections
Findings on the effect of repression on political participation are mixed and inconclusive. This article addresses this puzzle by introducing and conceptualizing ‘responses to repression’ as individuals’ varying willingness to risk‐taking and continuing with political activities despite possible threats. We use three‐wave panel survey data and focus on the run‐up to the 2013 Iranian presidential elections, during which the gradual decline in poli…
Dividing between ‘us’ and ‘them’: The framing of gender and sexuality by online followers of the Dutch populist radical right
This article investigates the ways in which online followers of the Dutch populist radical right discuss gender and sexuality. Analysing comments on the Facebook pages of the Party for Freedom and Forum for Democracy, we show that they use these issues to pit ‘us’ against ‘them’ – groups that are defined differently, depending on the context. Women’s emancipation and gay acceptance are defended and used to divide ‘civilised’ Dutch and ‘backward’ …
Online discontent: Comparing Western European far-right groups on Facebook
Far-right groups increasingly use social media to interact with other groups and reach their followers. Social media also enable 'ordinary' people to participate in online discussions and shape political discourse. This study compares the networks and discourses of Facebook pages of Western European far-right parties, movements and communities. Network analyses of pages indicate that the form of far-right mobilization is shaped by political oppor…
Causes and consequences of the rise of populist radical right parties and movements in Europe
This article reviews three strands in the scholarship on the populist radical right (PRR). It covers both political parties and extra-parliamentary mobilization in contemporary European democracies. After definitional issues and case selection, the authors first discuss demand-side approaches to the fortunes of the PRR. Subsequently, supply-side approaches are assessed, namely political opportunity explanations and internal supply-side factors, r…
The Rise and Demise of the Dutch Extreme Right: Discursive Opportunities and Support for the Center Democrats in the 1990s
This article seeks to explain why the Dutch extreme-right party, Center Democrats (CD), never succeeded in breaking out of its marginal position. It argues that, in addition to analyzing fluctuations in electoral support, scholars should also examine the degree to which extreme-right parties are able to express their views in the mass media. Supply-side explanations are extended by showing that discursive political opportunities need to be openly…

How to find the ‘winning formula’? Conducting simulation experiments to grasp the tactical moves and fortunes of populist radical right parties
Simulating Political Stability and Change in the Netherlands (1998-2002): An Agent-Based Model of Party Competition with Media Effects Empirically Tested
Agent-based models of political party competition in a multidimensional policy space have been developed in order to reflect adaptive learning by party leaders with very limited information feedback. The key assumption is that two categories of actors continually make decisions: voters choose which party to support and party leaders offer citizens a certain policy package. After reviewing the arguments for using agent-based models, I elaborate tw…
The rise of right‐wing populist Pim Fortuyn in the Netherlands: A discursive opportunity approach
This article seeks to explain the dramatic rise of Pim Fortuyn's right‐wing populist party during the campaign for the parliamentary elections in the Netherlands in 2002. Fortuyn succeeded in attracting by far the most media attention of all political actors and his new party won 17 per cent of the votes. This article analyses how this new populist party managed to mobilise so much attention and support so suddenly and so rapidly. It uses the not…
