Abstract

Sweden and Denmark have presented contrasting relationships between centre-right and populist radical right (PRR) parties. In Sweden, the centre-right has refused cooperation with the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) (SD), even when this cost the centre-right office. However, in Denmark, coalitions led by centre-right parties have cooperated with the Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti) (DF) on multiple occasions. Through a controlled comparison, we examine what explains these different outcomes. Using Chapel Hill Expert Surveys and public opinion data, we firstly look at the policy congruence between parties and the social acceptability of cooperation. We then examine interview material with representatives from centre-right and PRR parties in Sweden and Denmark to see their explanations of cooperation and non-cooperation. We conclude that, while the office goals of Danish centre-right parties, along with the policy focus and uncontroversial past of DF, explain that case, the reputation and past of SD has precluded a similar outcome.

声誉与职位：为什么瑞典和丹麦的民粹主义激进右翼政府参与度不同

瑞典和丹麦呈现出中右翼和民粹激进右翼(PRR)政党之间截然不同的关系。在瑞典，中右翼拒绝与瑞典民主党(Sverigedemokraterna) (SD)合作，即使这会让中右翼失去执政地位。然而，在丹麦，由中右翼政党领导的联盟曾多次与丹麦人民党(Dansk Folkeparti)合作。通过对照比较，我们研究了解释这些不同结果的原因。利用教堂山专家调查和民意数据，我们首先研究了政党之间的政策一致性和社会对合作的接受程度。然后，我们研究了瑞典和丹麦中右翼和PRR政党代表的访谈材料，以了解他们对合作和不合作的解释。我们的结论是，虽然丹麦中右翼政党的执政目标，以及民主党的政策重点和无争议的过去，解释了这种情况，但民主党的声誉和过去已经排除了类似的结果。
