【 摘 要 】

Exclusionary national identity is a defining feature of radical right party ideology.Radical right politicians campaign by fomenting hostility toward immigrants andpromoting a restrictive view of national identity. Yet, in my cross-national analysis ofpublic opinion data, I find that restrictive views of national identity are not associatedwith support for radical right parties. Nor does hostility toward immigrants always gohand in hand with a restrictive view of national identity according to past scholarship.Why do radical right parties appear to be successful in some cases by campaigning onthese issues? My dissertation explains why by showing by showing that the manifestationof latent exclusionary national identity into popular radical right support depends on the;;perfect storm” of cultural and economic threats – such as increased levels of migrationand unemployment – as well as the permissiveness of electoral laws – such as those inhigh district magnitude proportional representation systems. Analyses use data from theInternational Social Survey Program (ISSP) 1995 and 2003 modules on National Identity.
