  • How Local Context Affects Populist Radical Right Support: A Cross-National Investigation Into Mediated and Moderated Relationships

    Open Access•Kai Arzheimer, Carl C Berning et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Political…•2024•Cited by: 12•References: 72

    Populist radical right (PRR) parties are often more successful in some regions of their countries than in others. However, previous research shows that the relationship between context and PRR support is not straightforward. We develop and test an expanded framework linking local conditions to PRR support through two causal mechanisms. First, we argue economic and cultural contextual factors can influence citizens by fostering a sense of perceive…

  • Motivations for Social Interaction: The Case of Pokémon Go After the Fad Ended

    Open Access•Jocelyn Evans, Sara Z Evans et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science Quarterly•2021•References: 8

    Objective We survey Pokémon Go players regarding motivations/patterns of gameplay and sociability over time to understand human interaction in augmented game settings. We disentangle effects of solo versus social and past versus current gameplay through replication of the Pokémon Go Motive Scale. Methods We use OLS regression to determine how motivation affects hours of gameplay, to measure changes in hours spent playing Pokémon Go, and to captur…

    Open Access•Jocelyn Evans, Jocelyn J Evans et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science Quarterly•2021•References: 7

    Objective In this article, we consider the materialization of collective memory in monumental architecture, including Confederate monuments. Method Using Goodman's typology for uncovering social meaning in the built environment, we consider the material, symbolic, and temporal meanings of two memorial spaces, the Alabama Confederate Memorial Monument and the National Peace and Justice Memorial. Results The analysis uncovers competing social meani…

  • A Systems Approach to Understanding Community Power in the Debate over Confederate Monuments

    Objective We explore the role of local institutions, public architecture, and Confederate memorialization to institutionalize racialized public spaces. Method Applying an Eastonian model in an American political development framework, data on government development, postbellum county creation, courthouse construction, and Confederate memorialization are examined for 161 Georgia counties. Results Commemorative landscapes, courthouse design, courth…

  • Mapping Confederate Icons and Their Contestation

    Open Access•Jocelyn Evans, Jocelyn J Evans et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science Quarterly•2021•Cited by: 3•References: 10

    Objective In this article, we use racial threat theory to examine the contemporary debate over the place of Confederate memorials in the public square. Method We predict removal of Confederate iconography based on sociodemographic and organizational measures at the county level using logistic regression analysis. Results We find strong evidence to suggest that county characteristics involving urban density, minority presence, average per capita i…

    Objective We explore how political space is disrupted by racialized politics, and how differentiated affect among racial groups emerge in the political space. Method We use Goodsell's architectural classifications of public space in conjunction with systems theory to ascertain how differing architectural affects of pride and heritage versus terror and oppression are experienced in the post‐bellum South. Historic data of lynchings and Klan activit…

  • Context of a Contested Landscape

    Objective This piece outlines the historical contours of Confederate memorialization in the South, drawing attention to major types of monuments and the timing of their erection. It also identifies the agents of commemoration, groups who invested significant time and resources in forging the Lost Cause narrative, and sets these efforts within the context of broader patterns of historical memory and civic celebration throughout the South. Method W…

  • Contextual Effects of Immigrant Presence on Populist Radical Right Support: Testing the “Halo Effect” on Front National Voting in France

    Open Access•Jocelyn Evans, Gilles Ivaldi•ARTICLE•Comparative Political Studies•2021•Cited by: 33•References: 72

    This paper examines the relationship between immigration and populist radical right (PRR) support, based on an analysis of the contextual effects of immigrant presence on Front National vote in France in 2017. Using a unique set of survey data geolocalising respondents at the subcommunal level, it finds evidence for the existence of a curvilinear “halo effect,” with substantial increases in the probability of PRR vote in areas surrounding communi…

    This article assesses the importance of religious affiliation, observance, faith and party choice in categorizing attitudes to two of the most important contemporary moral and ethical issues: same-sex marriage and abortion. While religious conditioning of moral attitudes has long been seen as important, this article goes beyond analyses grounded in religiosity to explore whether support for particular political parties – and the cues received fro…

  • Northern Ireland: Double Triumph for the Democratic Unionist Party

    Jonathan Tonge, Jocelyn Evans•ARTICLE•Parliamentary Affairs•2018•Cited by: 6•References: 3

    The General Election result in Northern Ireland impacted across the UK. The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) enjoyed a double victory. It extended dominance of the unionist community and collected a bigger prize as its ten MPs (a record tally) held a pivotal position at Westminster. In holding the balance of power in the House of Commons, the DUP was not shy in articulating its price for supporting the otherwise friendless Conservative government …

  • Religious, Political, and Geographical Determinants of Attitudes to Protestant Parades in Northern Ireland

    Open Access•Jocelyn Evans, Jonathan Tonge•ARTICLE•Politics and Religion•2017•Cited by: 1•References: 16

    Although violence over Northern Ireland's constitutional position has largely subsided, the problem of sectarian animosity between sections of the Protestant Unionist British and Catholic Irish Nationalist population remains. One such area of communal contestation is attitudes to Protestant parades, organized mainly by the Orange Order. For many Protestants, Orange Order marches are legitimate cultural, religious, and political expressions of Pro…

    Jonathan Tonge, Jocelyn Evans•ARTICLE•Parliamentary Affairs•2015•Cited by: 14

    The Westminster election in Northern Ireland attracted more interest beyond the region than is normally the case. This was not because of healthy new attention being paid to the polity's regular communal (to critics, sectarian) bloc headcount. Rather, it was because the contest's outcome might influence the formation of a minority government at Westminster. This possibility was actively discussed even into election night results programmes, after…

  • Candidate geolocation and voter choice in the 2013 English County Council elections

    Open Access•Kai Arzheimer, Jocelyn Evans•ARTICLE•Research & Politics•2014•Cited by: 12•References: 8

    The degree of ‘localness’ of candidates, including their residential location, has long been theorised to influence voters at election time. Individual-level tests of distance effects in the 2010 British general elections demonstrated that, controlling for standard explanations of vote, the distance from a voter’s home to that of the candidate was negatively associated with the likelihood of voting for that candidate. To test this theory in a sub…

  • A New Multinomial Accuracy Measure for Polling Bias

Treating polls as random samples of a voting population, we first estimate an intercept only multinomial logit model to provide proportionate odds measures of each party's share of the vote, and thereby both unweighted and weighted averages of these values as a summary i…

    Irish national identity, political nationalism and Catholicism are the defining characteristics of the minority community in N orthern I reland.

    The Northern Ireland peace process saw remarkable change in the policies of Sinn Féin. Having pledged to end Northern Ireland as a political entity, Sinn Féin accepted the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and has since been a strong supporter of the political institutions created under that deal. The party's backing for political institutions has amounted to the zeal of converts, the one-time ‘unequivocal support’ for the IRA's ‘armed struggle’ and rep…

    The peace process in Northern Ireland has not diminished the acute ethnic electoral faultline between the majority Protestant-British population, supportive of parties favouring Northern Ireland’s continuing place in the United Kingdom and the minority Catholic-Nationalist population, which backs parties harbouring long-term ambitions for a united Ireland. Within each bloc, however, there has been a dramatic realignment in favour of parties once …

This process has been accompanied by a secularization of parties, as links to religious organizations have declined. Such developments have been facilitated by a matching of the need for structural reform with the electoral imperative of the removal of electorally unp…

Beyond the specific circumstances of the elections which allowed Jean-Marie Le Pen to progress to the second round, but which saw a relative drop for FN and MNR candidates in the subsequent legislative ballots, the Extreme Right vote has a number of specific charact…

  • Problems of Modernizing an Ethno-Religious Party: The Case of the Ulster Unionist Party in Northern Ireland

    Open Access•Jocelyn A J Evans, Jocelyn Evans et al.•ARTICLE•Party Politics•2005•Cited by: 7•References: 12

    Structural reforms of political parties in Western Europe have shifted these actors towards individual member organizations in which sectional interests have diminished in salience. This process has been accompanied by a secularization of parties, as links to religious organizations have declined. Such developments have been facilitated by a matching of the need for structural reform with the electoral imperative of the removal of electorally unp…

  • Assessment/Learning Outcomes II Track Summary

    Paul Edleman, Jocelyn Evans et al.•ARTICLE•PS Political Science & Politics•2006

    At the third annual APSA Teaching and Learning Conference, attendees in the Assessment/Learning Outcomes II session engaged in vigorous discussion over how best to integrate assessment with learning. The participants reflected a good mix of both community college and university perspectives, yet found that the necessity for efficacious assessment cuts across the discipline; concerted efforts should be made to encourage and enhance learning and co…

  • The European dimension in French public opinion

    Jocelyn A J Evans, Jocelyn Evans•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2007•Cited by: 3•References: 27

    This article examines the position of Europe and European issues in French public opinion. It considers existing research on the effect of Europe on national politics at élite and mass level, and the reasons for an apparent lack of change in behaviour or structure at either level in the French case. Using the 2002 French Election Panel survey, it examines the social and attitudinal structure to perceptions of European threats to France in order t…

    Alistair Cole, Jocelyn Evans•ARTICLE•Revue internationale de politique…•2008•Cited by: 3•References: 1

    L’article compare le Pays de Galles et la Bretagne, deux régions à identité marquée dans deux États, la France et la Grande-Bretagne, de tradition unitaire, avec, toutefois, dans ce second cas, plus de permissivité envers les expressions identitaires internes. L’analyse porte à la fois sur les niveaux « macro » et « micro ». L’application de la question Moreno permet de constater qu’une identité duale est assumée plus facilement en Bretagne qu’au…

  • Social Class and Party Choice in Northern Ireland's Ethnic Blocs

    Jocelyn Evans, Jonathan Tonge•ARTICLE•West European Politics•2009•Cited by: 30•References: 21

    The peace process in Northern Ireland has not diminished the acute ethnic electoral faultline between the majority Protestant-British population, supportive of parties favouring Northern Ireland’s continuing place in the United Kingdom and the minority Catholic-Nationalist population, which backs parties harbouring long-term ambitions for a united Ireland. Within each bloc, however, there has been a dramatic realignment in favour of parties once …

  • New Order: Political Change and the Protestant Orange Tradition in Northern Ireland

    The 1998 Good Friday Agreement (GFA) led to a major realignment in unionist politics in Northern Ireland. The Ulster Unionist party (UUP), hitherto the dominant force within the Protestant British tradition, was usurped in electoral popularity by the Democratic Unionist party (DUP). In its post-GFA rise, the DUP garnered majority support from members of the Orange Order, the largest organisation in Protestant civil society. Drawing upon a recent …
