Abstract

ABSTRACT Which factors contribute to the electoral success of Populist Radical Right Parties (PRRPs)? We empirically investigate the relationship between the Austrian Freedom Party/FP (Freiheitliche Partei Österreich/FPÖ)'s electoral shares and the degree of population's socioeconomic polarization based on data for six regional and national elections and 118 municipalities in the state of Salzburg. Regional elections offer an excellent setting for conducting a thorough test of the argument that relative deprivation provides fertile ground for PRRPs. Our longitudinal study provides clear evidence that the more polarized the socio-economic structure in Salzburg's municipalities, the higher the share of FP supporters. This relationship holds over time and across types of elections: regional elections (‘Landtagswahlen’) and national elections (‘Nationalratswahlen’).

在地区和国家层面对FPÖ的选举支持:不同级别的政府，相同的因果关系?

摘要：哪些因素促成了民粹主义激进右翼政党（PRRP）的选举成功？基于萨尔茨堡州六次地区和全国选举以及118个市镇的数据，我们实证研究了奥地利自由党/FP（Freiheitliche ParteiÖsterreich/FPÖ）的选举份额与人口社会经济两极分化程度之间的关系。地区选举为彻底检验相对贫困为PRRP提供了肥沃土壤的论点提供了一个极好的环境。我们的纵向研究提供了明确的证据，表明萨尔茨堡市的社会经济结构越两极分化，FP支持者的比例就越高。这种关系随着时间的推移和不同类型的选举而存在：地区选举（“Landtagswahlen”）和全国选举（“Nationalratswahlen）。

期刊介绍： The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
