“…Thus, what sets PRW parties apart from other parties is that in the domain of social welfare policy they propose an apparently fractured discourse, proclaiming support for generous access to welfare benefits while simultaneously arguing that access to these benefits should be limited to the members of the native ethnic community, thereby excluding immigrants, refugees and other 'foreign' individuals. This combination of antiimmigrant attitudes and leftist positions on welfare issues, typical for modern anti-immigrant parties, is known as 'welfare chauvinism' (Hainsworth 2000;Mudde 2000;Andersen 2007).…”

Direct and Indirect Welfare Chauvinism as Party Strategies: An Analysis of the Danish People's Party

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article develops a theoretical distinction between direct and indirect welfare chauvinism in order to analyze how electorally successful populist right‐wing parties transmit social policy preferences with significant redistributive implications for the shape of the welfare state. Direct welfare chauvinism occurs as a result of legislative changes that explicitly exclude recipients from social protection or reduce the level thereof on the basis of ethnicity. Indirect welfare chauvinism is the result of policy measures that apply to both natives and immigrants, but which deliberately negatively affect immigrants the most. Combining quantitative and qualitative analysis of labour market reforms in Denmark, where one of the most successful populist right‐wing parties in Europe – the Danish People's Party – held a pivotal position in the period 2001–11, the article traces the intentions and deliberate policy‐making strategies of the party. It shows that the distinction between direct and indirect chauvinism is a useful theoretical tool for understanding how the Danish People's Party can fulfill the expectations of both its electorate and its coalition partners, even if they point in different directions.

“…The six linkage mechanisms are articulated below, in no strict chronological order, and analysed through two original interviews with high-ranking officials held in Budapest in 2013 and 2016, historical analysis, and content analysis of documents (e.g. della Porta 2014 ;Mudde 2000;Ritter 2014). The elaboration of these interactions significantly furthers our understanding of protest and electoral arenas as complementary, rather than separate, spheres of contention.…”

“…Whilst extreme-right organisations oppose democratic principles and aim at subverting the democratic system (e.g. Sartori 1976), radical-right organisations are simply hostile to liberal democratic principles and thus subscribe to the rules of parliamentary democracy (e.g Mudde 2000)…”

Ballots and barricades enhanced: far‐right ‘movement parties’ and movement‐electoral interactions

Far‐right organisations offer an ideal common ground to bridge the scholarships on social movements and party politics. Indeed, they can be often interpreted as ‘movement parties’, i.e. hybrid collective actors spurring from the protest arena and translating social movement practices in the arena of party competition. This contribution enhances our understanding of the contemporary far right by focusing on the neglected links between movements and elections within the broader context of contention. The article assesses and refines propositions about such interactions through the adoption of a specific framework, ultimately showing that the Hungarian Jobbik consistently subscribed to the linkage mechanisms discussed.

“…Pedahzur 2001; e.g. also Mudde 2002;. Pedahzur concludes that the observed transformation of the right-wing political camp also has immense influence on the political party scene in Israel: the emergence of a multi-party camp, united by a "shared ideological vision" about how to deal with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict but divided by others, reinforced the "polarisation within Israeli society", causing "more conventional parties" to "[adopt] the political manners and style" of the political parties on the rightwing edge (Pedahzur 2001: 39).…”

How do young people from immigrant families become engaged in politics? Anja Schmidt-Kleinert examines the case of young Israelis who are actively engaged with the nationalist Yisra'el Beitenu party, led by the Israeli minister of defence, Avigdor Lieberman. She explores how the activists present Israeli citizenship in a way that is exclusionary to non-Jewish citizens and analyses their strategy to actively construct a sense of belonging to Israeli society or, more precisely, to the Jewish collective by (re-)producing the ethno-nationalist discourse.
