Both roads lead to Rome
The primacy of networks vs. identities divides research on activism. Analyzing activist commitment in CasaPound, a movement organization of the far right in contemporary Italy, this paper advances a sequential multipath theory of activist commitment. In the recruitment phase either networks or identities suffice for movement entry. During the follow-up phase of integration, networks and identities reinforce each other: each is a necessary but no …
Empire's Legacy
"Building on the idea of latent political potential, this book offers an alternative interpretation of the contemporary far right. Its main thesis is that relations between colonizers and colonized implanted a legacy that, under certain conditions, translated into support for the far right in France. To make this argument, the book offers a model for the study of political potentials that combines a situational approach to identity relations, a n…
Neo-fascist or revolutionary leftist
This article examines the relations between parental politics and the choice of activists entering radical movements of the communist left or neo-fascist right between the late 1960s and early 1980s in Italy. Analysis reveals a dominant pattern of parent-child continuity that reproduced the main sociopolitical cleavage but also some discontinuity (with activists from non-partisan households over-represented). Overall the findings confirm the impo…
Dissenting families and social movement abeyance
What explains the re-emergence of social movements after abeyance? Based on interviews with activists who belonged to the Italian neo-fascist movement of the late 1960s to early 1980s, this article documents the preservation of a neo-fascist mobilization potential after 1945 through the parent-child transmission of frames. This process involved learning through talk, action and text. Both the nature of family frames and their congruence with move…
Tocqueville on the conquest and colonization of Algeria
During the 1830s and 1840s the future of France’s new colony in Algeria became Tocqueville’s chief preoccupation in politics. At first confident that settlers from Europe would mix with the natives of Algeria, eventually he lost his belief in an integrated colonial society. Yet he never abandoned his opinion that France must consolidate its hold over Algeria for reasons of strategy and international reputation. He deplored the pre-eminence of mil…
Immigration and National Identity
The Far Right in France and Italy
Theorists disagree over the extent to which support for the contemporary far right stems from a fundamental change in party systems and voter alignments in Western Europe. One point is beyond debate, however: Far-right parties of Western Europe stand out in terms of their preoccupation with immigration and their marked intolerance toward racial and ethnic minorities (Betz 1994, Ignazi 1992, 1997, Inglehart and Rabier 1986, Kitschelt 1995). These …
State‐Society Relations in the Making of Canadian Immigration Policy during the Mulroney Era
Des conceptions différentes de l'unité des fractions de classe sont à la base d'importantes divergences théoriques dans la sociologie de l'État. Ces conceptions sont examinées ici en fonction du rema‐niement de la politique fédérale des taux d'immigration sous le gouvernement conservateur du premier ministre Brian Mulroney. Fondée sur des documents, des entrevues et des déclarations publi‐ques, cette étude montre que, pour les syndicats aussi bie…
Right-Wing Extremism in Contemporary France
Postmaterialist theory (PMT) challenges Lipset and Rokkan's freezing hypothesis by arguing that conflict over noneconomic values is transforming the political sociology of advanced industrial societies. Hardly studied is PMT's claim that support for the contemporary far Right stems from a reaction against the social and moral libertarianism of postwar generations. An analysis of cross-time data on the class, generational, and ideological profiles…
A Challenge for Political Sociology
The increased success of far-right parties in contemporary Western Europe presents a dual challenge for political sociology. Empirically, it confounds the freezing hypothesis of Lipset and Rokkan as well as the postmaterialist theories of Ignazi, Inglehart and Minkenberg. Theoretically, it points to the limitations of an overconcentration on voter alignments in political sociology. A comparative study of far-right parties in Western Europe (espec…
Canadian Immigration Policy
This article is a response to comments on a recent article on the links between immigration and unemployment in Canada. "In their commentaries, Foot (1994) and Simmons (1994) focus on our interpretations, and advance alternative or supplementary interpretations. In this response, we critically examine the role of demographic objectives; the economic demand theory; globalization; and the state-centered immigration model
Recent Immigration Politics in Italy
The short history of recent Italian immigration politics spans four phases: (1) until 1986, an incoherent policy with little control over flows; (2) increased mobilisation of public opinion, followed by the extension of foreign workers' rights and a flawed amnesty campaign; (3) renewed mobilisation of public opinion in 1989, and Italy's alignment with the Schengen group; (4) lower political salience since the events at Bari in 1991. The mobilisat…
Continuity and Change in Canada's Unemployment-Immigration Linkage (1946-1993)
"Between 1946 and 1976, variation in unemployment rates strongly affected the number of immigrants allowed into Canada. Implementation of the Immigration Act of 1976 should have weakened the effect of unemployment on immigration, for the Act requires that immigration levels be set after consideration of demographic as well as labour market conditions. Our analysis shows the unemployment-immigration linkage actually strengthened after 1978, and on…
