Who Endorses Environmental Activism? Understanding Public Tolerance for Radical Environmental Action in Canada
State inaction and the escalating threat of climate change have led groups within the environmental movement to adopt more radical political tactics such as sabotage, vandalism and road blockades. How do citizens view such radical actions, and what determines their tolerance for them? Using survey data measuring environmental preoccupation, attribution of responsibility for climate change and attitudes toward thirteen contestation methods, this a…
Can riots represent? A democratic theory
Political theory has been perennially concerned with interrogating, identifying, and clarifying the political functions of riots. Yet, political theorists have mostly fallen short of explaining the relationship between riots and democracy, although this is central to the democratic theory of contestation and crucial for evaluating the potential values of riots in democracy. I examine the question of riots and democracy through the lens of politic…
Quebec National Symbolism and Its Effects on Political Attitudes
Attachment to symbols is a fundamental component of nationalism. In plurinational countries, however, competing historical narratives may uniquely influence the shaping of political identities. Drawing on data from an exclusive survey conducted in 2022 ( n = 1180), this research note explores a previously unobserved aspect of minority nationalism: multilevel symbolic webs, using the province of Quebec in Canada as a case study. Employing latent c…
Parties' Platforms, Migration, and Security
The integration of national security concerns in states’ treatment of international migration has become a prominent issue in recent years as global migration is regularly presented as a security threat to host countries. In this paper, we illuminate a number of patterns and determinants of political parties’ treatment of immigration as a security matter–the securitisation of migration–through the comparative study of a new data set of parties’ p…
Religiosity matters
Secularism—i.e., the separation between the state and religious institutions—is a fundamental characteristic of liberal democracies, yet support for secular arrangements varies significantly across Western countries. In Canada, such attitudinal divergences are observable at the regional level, with citizens from Quebec displaying higher levels of support for secularism than other Canadians. In this paper, we test three hypotheses to account for t…
Le potentiel de croissance du Parti québécois
Cette note de recherche a deux objectifs. Premièrement, nous présentons l'index relatif de confiance (IRC), une nouvelle mesure du potentiel de croissance et de la solidité du vote basée sur la probabilité exprimée par les électeurs de voter pour l'ensemble des partis dans leur circonscription. Nous nous penchons en détail sur les avantages de l'IRC et montrons qu'il permet d’évaluer le potentiel de croissance et la solidité du vote des partis po…
Sur le potentiel de croissance du Parti conservateur du Québec
Depuis un an, le Parti conservateur du Québec (PCQ) a fait des gains considérables dans les sondages d'intention de vote. Le parti peut-il encore faire des gains ou a-t-il atteint son plein potentiel? Dans cette note de recherche, nous tentons de répondre à cette question en utilisant un nouvel indicateur, l'index relatif de confiance (IRC), qui permet de mesurer le potentiel de croissance et la solidité du vote des partis
Positive communication in a catastrophic crisis
Crisis management strategies have taken a new significance amidst the COVID-19 crisis. In \nCanada, while the tone of media coverage of political leaders is usually stable over time, the \npandemic has provoked variation that provides an opportunity to test the effect of leaders’ crisis \nmanagement strategies on the tone of media coverage. Using a unique dataset of online front-page \narticles from 11 Canadian media outlets, an automated textual…
Religiosity or racism? The bases of opposition to religious accommodation in Quebec
Though Canada is internationally lauded for the success of its multiculturalism policies, debates about immigrant integration have arisen in recent years. These debates have turned on the extent to which religion should be accommodated in the public sphere. They have also been disproportionately concentrated in the French‐speaking province of Quebec. This paper asks whether this disproportionality is due to the Quebec population being particularl…
