Understanding Support for Diversity: The Role of Fundamental Beliefs
Understanding popular responses to immigration and sociocultural diversification is an important concern. Sometimes they are seen as key to a new cleavage dividing democratic societies. Previous research has often focused on attitudes towards levels and types of new migration, and mainly analysed hostility towards immigration. Yet European societies have also accommodated sociocultural diversification resulting from decades of immigration. How ca…

Diffuse Vielfalt
Menschen nehmen permanent alltägliche Ordnungsleistungen vor. Unter anderem differenzieren und kategorisieren sie die sie umgebenden Menschen. Welche Bedeutung solche alltagsweltlichen Differenzierungen haben, ist bislang unzureichend untersucht. Dieser Beitrag zeigt, dass eine Analyse subjektiver Wahrnehmungen und Beschreibungen, hier der Wohnumgebung, aufschlussreich ist für ein Verständnis von Einstellungen zu Vielfalt und Migration. Zugrunde …

Cross-class solidarity in times of crisis: The economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on support for redistribution
This study investigates how the economic crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic impacted support for social assistance in Germany. We formulate our expectations drawing from the classical political economy literature on self-interest and the burgeoning research on the role of solidarity. On the one hand, we hypothesize that only low-income individuals impacted economically by COVID-19, who can benefit from social assistance, will support it…
Social protection for mobile populations? A global perspective on immigrant social rights
While a growing body of work investigates the social rights of immigrants, there is a notable lack of comparative research on the topic that includes countries in the Global South. In this paper we argue that existing approaches often lack reproducibility, comparability, and adaptability beyond the cases that they focus on. To remedy this shortcoming, we propose a three‐dimensional conceptualization of immigrant social rights that takes into acco…
The micro-foundations of social democratic welfare chauvinism and inclusion: Class demand and policy reforms in Western Europe, 1980−2018
In Western European welfare states, research shows that support for welfare chauvinism, or the notion that welfare benefits for immigrants should be restricted, is highest among white, blue-collar working-class voters. On the other hand, higher-educated, middle-class voters are more likely to reject welfare chauvinism and support the inclusion of immigrants into the welfare state. For social democratic parties, this might pose an electoral dilemm…
Diversity assent: Conceptualisation and an Empirical Application
Recent evidence suggests that in many European countries generally positive views about societal diversity predominate. Yet, as research has rather focussed on negative attitudes towards immigration and diversity, less is known about positive attitudes and those who hold them. The paper makes a conceptual and an empirical contribution to filling this gap. We introduce a multidimensional concept, "diversity assent", to capture both evaluations of …
Contextual welfare chauvinism: Left‐wing governments and immigrant welfare rights in Western Europe
In Western Europe, as immigration flows increase – or at least become more salient – and austerity measures place welfare states under pressure, policy reforms that extend or restrict access to the welfare state for immigrants are highly contested. Much academic attention has been paid to restrictive or ‘welfare chauvinist’ policy reforms and the role played by far‐right parties and sympathisers in the policy‐making process. Yet, left‐wing partie…
Educational divides and class coalitions: How mainstream party voters divide and unite over immigration issues
At the extremes of the transnational cleavage in Western European democracies, voters for far-right and green parties tend to hold polarising immigration attitudes. Yet, the extent to which immigration concerns divide mainstream left and right voters, and drive vote-choice at the ballot box for mainstream parties, is under-researched. In this article, I disentangle both immigration attitudes and mainstream electorates to answer these questions. I…
Thirty years of welfare chauvinism research: Findings and challenges
The term ‘welfare chauvinism’ has achieved a certain currency in social science research and is used widely. Yet, the concept is not without its critics, who claim that welfare chauvinism is ‘loaded’ or ‘ambiguous’. This article reviews empirical studies of welfare chauvinism, from the 1990s to the present day, drawing primarily from party politics and attitudes research. We identify differences in how the concept is used, defined, operationalize…
