Conflict or cooperation? How opposition party behaviour affects voters’ party evaluations
Opposition parties are central actors in accounts of democracies (e.g. Dahl 1966). Prior research addressed issues such as institutional factors to gauge the power wielded by opposition parties, and how they affect opposition parties’ choices for engaging in conflictual behaviour vis-à-vis the government or opting for cooperative approaches. However, scant attention has been devoted to understanding citizens’ views of such opposition party behavi…
The Dynamics of (De-)Normalization of the Far Right
This paper examines the normalization of far-right ideologies in Germany, with a particular focus on societal perceptions and the resulting consequences.

We suggest this framework…

Drawing on the literatures on incumbency advantage, cost of ruling, and candidate-centered voting, we analyze whether an outgoing incumbent might still have an effect on voters’ attitudes and behavior. We distinguish two phenomena: First, we exp…
