A tanulmány a European Social Survey (ESS) és saját kutatásból származó további empirikus adatokat felhasználva magyarázatot keres arra, hogy nemzetközi szinten összehasonlítva miért mutat csökkenő tendenciát a magyarok politikai érdeklődése. Elemzésünk kiindulópontja, hogy a magyarázat a "politika", mint kifejezés erodálásában rejlik. Azt feltételezzük, hogy van kapcsolat a politikára vonatkozó asszociációk és a politikai érdeklődés között: a negatív asszociációk csökkentik, míg a pozitív asszociációk növelik a válaszadók politikai érdeklődését. Ezen túlmenően kutatásunk azt is feltárja, vajon a kulturális tőke, ezen belül is az iskolázottság befolyásolja-e elsősorban azt, hogy ki milyen asszociációkkal rendelkezik a politikáról. Eredményeink alapján az, aki nem negatív véleménnyel rendelkezik, inkább a politikailag érdeklődők táborába tartozik, az erős, negatív érzelmi töltetű válaszokkal rendelkezők pedig kevéssé érdeklődnek a politika iránt. Előzetes várakozásainkkal szemben a politikára vonatkozó pozitív asszociációkat hazánkban elsősorban nem a kulturális tőke mértéke határozza meg, hanem az, hogy valaki jobboldalinak vallja-e magát vagy sem.
2018) New Uncertainties and Anxieties in Europe. Berlin: Peter Lang. pages.This book is part of a series of volumes that aim to give insight into selected findings from the European Social Survey. In frame of the ESS research every two years, faceto-face interviews are conducted with newly selected, cross-sectional samples and a huge emphasis is put on the dissemination of the results. A great merit of the book is that it includes all countries participating in the research between 2002 and 2014. As it is an edited volume it contains several different topics with special emphasis on the consequences of sweeping changes in social relations with respect to uncertainty that is related to globalization of labour markets, intensified competition and the accelerated spread of networks and new technologies.The first part of the book consists of studies concerning migration, xenophobia, and ethnic discrimination.Authors Jaak Billiet, Bart Meuleman and Eldad Davidov study the relation between ethnic threat and economic insecurity in times of economic crisis. They distinguish five study designs that are used to analyse the topic and offer a detailed overview of them. The chapter not only summarizes results of recent studies based on the given design but also presents figures and tables to enable readers to make an assessment of strengths and weaknesses of each design. Their analysis is based on Group Conflict Theory: according to this perspective, negative outgroup sentiments are seen as defensive reactions to perceived intergroup competition for scarce goods. Their findings provide clear evidence for the existence of longitudinal effects of economic conditions on economic threat perceptions: growing unemployment as well as decreasing rates of economic growth strengthen feelings of economic threat.The second chapter focuses on Poland and Germany in a comparative perspective to explain what drives attitudes towards migrants and identification with populist parties. Peter Schmidt, Lucyna Darowska and Daniel Georg test 21 hypotheses and run three structural equation models separately for Poland as well as Eastern and Western Germany in order to find out whether deprivation, values or racism are the driving factors. A main finding of the chapter is that group related deprivation is strongly connected with economic threat in all three regions. However, the effect is the strongest in Eastern Germany and the weakest in Poland. The grouprelated deprivation is associated with cultural threat, which has the strongest effect of all measured factors on the rejection of migration. Biological racism has little indirect effect on migration, whereas values have a strong effect. Education plays a decisive
A tanulmány célja egyfelől a politikai attitűdök vizsgálatakor a Részvétel, képviselet, pártosság (NKFI119603) kutatás adatain keresztül a demokráciára vonatkozó asszociációk elemzése, a fogalom hazai értelmezése mögötti összefüggések vizsgálata, valamint a politikai meggyőződésből, a gazdasági teljesítmény értékeléséből, illetve a demográfiai különbségekből adódó eltérések feltárása. Másfelől, bemutatjuk a demokráciával való elégedettség, és a pártos polarizáció időbeli változását Európában, felhasználva az European Social Survey (ESS) adatait. Eredményeink, a pártos polarizációs elméleteknek megfelelően igazolják, hogy a demokráciával való elégedettség politikai preferencia függvénye is: a kormánypárti szavazók jóval elégedettebbek a demokráciával, mint az ellenzékiek. Ez a különbség a vizsgált európai országok körében Magyarországon kiemelkedően nagy, ráadásul az elmúlt években folyamatosan növekszik is. Azonban nemcsak a demokráciával való elégedettség esetén, hanem a demokrácia értelmezése vonatkozásában is érvényesül a pártosság. A kormánypárti szavazók más szavakkal, szókapcsolatokkal írták le a demokráciát, mint a 2018 nyarán erősen kiábrándultnak tűnő ellenzéki szavazók.
Intersections. EEJSP 3(1): 120-146. DOI: 10.17356/ieejsp.v3i1.299 http://intersections.tk.mta.hu AbstractYoung Europeans' political responses to the economic crisis have neither been uniform nor overly promising for the future of democratic Europe. We seek to identify potential causal relationships between young peoples' employment status and choice of political participation (i.e. both traditional and non-traditional forms of political participation, as well as emerging alternatives). Although politicians and academics highlight that young people are increasingly disengaged from conventional politics, and papers have been published about different aspects of this topic, young peoples' perspectives and generational differences are rarely taken into account simultaneously. In this paper we characterize the consequences of the economic and employment conditions of youth on political engagement. Our paper focuses on Hungary, which has struggled with youth unemployment. The paper involves secondary data analysis of cross-national surveys, involving six datasets
The relationship between political participation and the pursuit of sustainability at the local level has been investigated extensively in the literature. In this content, the emergence and extensive use of citizens’ assemblies receive particular attention. Much research focuses on the functioning of these assemblies and potential impact in the community. However, we know very little about why such initiatives occur. This article fills that gap in the literature and aims to explain why a citizens’ assembly on climate change was organized. It focuses on the Citizens’ Assembly in Budapest (Hungary), organized in the fall of 2020 with randomly selected citizens. The findings illustrate that although civil society initiated the deliberative process, the prime mover of the Citizens’ Assembly was political. Local politicians pursued this objective to fulfil their election pledges, ensure ideological consistency and promote sustainability.
In our study, we wish to give an overview of integration mechanisms in Hungarian society. We focus on system integration, that is, on the political processes and interactions that re-establish social mechanisms of co-existence in society. We approach system integration from the dimension of action. Three hypotheses are tested on the database of Integration and Disintegration Processes within the Hungarian Society project. We present what explanatory factors influence the electoral, traditional and direct forms of political activity. We also discuss the relationship between cohorts, life events and participation, as well as the link between clients and participation.
