Turning Right: Party Position Change on Immigration in the European Refugee Crisis"
Join us as we delve into the intriguing topic of party position changes on immigration during the European refugee crisis. In this scientific lecture, our guest speaker, Ethan vanderWilden, a visiting fellow at MIDEM and a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, presents his research on the fascinating dynamics between rapid changes in ethnic demography and political party stances on immigration.
Discover how parties utilize authoritarian histories in their campaigns and explore the profound influence this history can have on voter preferences. Delving deeper, we investigate whether the influx of asylum seekers during the refugee crisis led to a shift in party positions on immigration.
Through an analysis of various European countries' experiences, we examine the differential exposure to the crisis and its impact on party responses. Does greater exposure to the #crisis result in more restrictive immigration positions? Join us as we explore this crucial question and uncover the intricate relationship between asylum claims and party stances.
With over 200 parties analyzed in the dataset, our speaker presents thought-provoking insights. While the overall relationship may not be strong, intriguing findings emerge when examining specific party types. Center-right parties, in particular, demonstrate a greater likelihood of adopting restrictive immigration positions in countries with higher asylum claims.
