Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper presents a new and more comprehensive model of extreme right-wing anti-immigrant (ERAI) party voting than has hitherto been tested. Based around recent calls for a more integrated understanding of these parties’ success we posit three key pathways to ERAI voter mobilization: grievance intensification (individual), political opportunity (structural) and echo chamber effects or – the ‘unspiralling’ of silence. We test the model using multilevel analysis of individual and contextual data from the EU member countries at three time points (1988, 1994 and 2000). We find that support for ERAI parties is linked to individuals’ cultural and economic grievances against immigrants as well as their feelings of political dissatisfaction. Contextual socioeconomic conditions, namely increasing unemployment and a large foreign population further increase support for these parties as does the political environment in terms of the perceived moderateness of political elites. Finally, the levels of racial hostility in society as a whole also contribute to these parties’ success, with articulation of cultural rather than materialistic fears about immigrants producing an upswing in their support levels. The findings have implications for the behavior of political elites in curbing the growth of support for anti-immigrant voting but also show it to be a more socially diffuse phenomenon that can be addressed only through shifts in the broader socio-economic and cultural climate of these nations.
