| Inhalt | Many empirical studies have found a gender gap in electoral support for radical right parties. However, the reasons for and interpretations of it are still debated. This course deals with explanations for a difference in support for radical right parties in Western Europe among men and women. We will explore different approaches to explaining the gap and cross-national variation in Western Europe: On the one hand, demand-side explanations focus on socioeconomic characteristics, for example differences in occupational status between men and women, attitudinal differences or internalized gender norms on the side of voters. On the other hand, supply-side approaches focus on the role of female politicians within the leadership or membership of the radical right party, or with the role of gender in the ideological program of the party family. How gender is addressed by radical right parties has also changed over time and the course will deal with newer developments of femo-, homonationalism and trans-exclusionary positions. The focus of the seminar is on empirical research testing these different explanations, many of them with quantitative methods. For this reason, it is required that students have passed the lecture “Introduction to quantitative methods” in order to attend the seminar. Students will also come up with their own ideas for empirical studies. |
