在大多数西方民主国家，反移民政党都经历了选举的崛起，尽管他们的胜利对现实生活政策结果的影响在很大程度上仍未被探索。一个关键问题是：反移民政党的选举压力是否会对其他政党的移民政策立场产生“传染”影响？在这篇文章中，我论证并实证证明了事实确实如此。根据对11个西欧国家75个政党的比较实证研究，我得出的结论是，这种传染效应涉及整个政党体系，而不仅仅是主流右翼。此外，我发现反对党比政府政党更容易受到这种传染效应的影响。本文的研究结果表明，反移民政党能够在不进入政府的情况下影响其政治体系的政策输出。
Anti-immigration parties have experienced electoral lift-off in most Western democracies, although the consequences of their victories for real-life policy outcomes have remained largely unexplored. A key question is: do electoral pressures from anti-immigration parties have a ‘contagion’ impact on other parties’ immigration policy positions? In this article, I argue and empirically demonstrate that this is the case. On the basis of a comparative-empirical study of 75 parties in 11 Western European countries, I conclude that this contagion effect involves entire party systems rather than the mainstream right only. In addition, I find that opposition parties are more vulnerable to this contagion effect than parties in government. The findings of this article imply that anti-immigration parties are able to influence policy output in their political systems without entering government.
