本文考察了利基政党的成功对主流政党政策议程的影响。根据问题政治化的预期选举效果，激进右翼和绿党的成功将引起主流政党的不同反应。虽然主流政党强调反移民立场，以回应激进的右翼成功，但绿党的成功将对环境问题产生相反的影响。由于绿色政党是问题的所有者，他们的成功将使现有政党淡化对环境的重视。本文通过对西欧16个国家1980年至2011年的时间序列横截面数据的分析，实证地证实了绿党和激进右翼政党对主流政党行为的影响是不同的，它们的影响取决于主流政党的意识形态立场和过去的选举表现。
This article investigates the impact of niche party success on the policy agendas of mainstream parties. Following from the expected electoral effects of issue politicization, the success of radical right and green parties will cause different reactions from mainstream parties. While mainstream parties emphasize anti-immigrant positions in response to radical right success, green party success will have the opposite effect for environmental issues. Since green parties constitute issue owners, their success will make established parties de-emphasize the environment. Analyzing time-series cross-section data for sixteen Western European countries from 1980 to 2011, this article empirically establishes that green and radical right parties differ in their effect on mainstream party behavior and that their impact depends on the ideological position and past electoral performance of the mainstream parties.
