Downplaying Extremism? How the State Approaches Right-Wing and Left-Wing Extremist Threats
The rise of political extremism is often attributed to citizens' economic and cultural grievances. Less is known about how the state itself may facilitate extremism in contemporary democracies, despite frequent claims that elected leaders fail to contain it. How valid is this critique? Analyzing thousands of documents on the behavior of political parties, intelligence agencies, and the police in Germany across decades and states, the authors show…
Why do security forces vote for far-right parties? Evidence from Europe
Concerns are rising over far-right support among security forces, given their role in upholding the state’s monopoly on violence. Such support raises fears that far-right ideologies could shape law enforcement practices and undermine democratic norms. Existing explanations often attribute this alignment to authoritarian and law-and-order preferences. Using data from the European Social Survey, this research note examines whether security forces a…
Does political violence undermine descriptive representation? The case of women in politics
Do attacks against politicians exacerbate the political underrepresentation of marginalized groups? Existing research suggests that candidates and officeholders from underrepresented groups are more likely to become targets of political violence, but little is known about the consequences of indirect exposure to political violence for descriptive representation and political ambition. Focusing on the case of women in politics, we study how the pr…
Do Politicians Discriminate against Constituents with an Immigration Background? Field Experimental Evidence from Germany
The diversification of Western European electorates due to immigration raises the question whether politicians discriminate against constituents with an immigrant background. While ethnic distance can explain lower responsiveness to out-group constituents, shared partisanship might mitigate discrimination. We examine this issue through an audit experiment with 1,522 members of parliament in 15 German state legislatures. We find that politicians a…
National Penalties Reversed
Local politicians can play an important role in promoting citizenship, but their helpfulness varies considerably across local councils. Do politicians discriminate against immigrants seeking to naturalize in ways that public opinion and national citizenship debates would suggest? In two correspondence studies fielded in Germany, we find no evidence that features that are salient in national debates and public opinion predict responsiveness. Speci…
