Sub-national context and radical right support in Europe

对激进右翼的比较研究主要集中在国家层面的指标和个人动机上，以解释对这些政党的支持变化。一些案例研究方法使用次国家模型来研究国家内部的变化，但迄今为止，还没有比较研究将国家中观层面在激进右翼支持中的作用正式化。这项比较研究提出了一个跨学科的政治学、社会学和地理学团队，对四个关键国家（法国、德国、荷兰和英国）进行多层次的分析，这些国家提供了不同的制度、基础设施、社会经济和态度背景来研究这一现象。这个为期三年的项目将首先整理所有从官方来源获得的二手政治和社会经济数据，以便在多个领土汇总级别建立一个跨时间数据库。其次，它将在这些宏观/中观层面的基础上，在四个国家进行标准化的大规模调查，收集最新的个人人口、态度和行为指标。最后，这些将结合在激进右翼支持的完全混合模型中，确定背景和个人属性的比较作用。结果将提供对这些决定因素的无与伦比的详细理解，这对学术理解和利益相关者的政策规划和实施都很重要。

Comparative research on the radical right has focused mainly on national-level indicators and individual motivators to explain variation in support for these parties. Some case-study approaches use sub-national models to look at within-country variation, but to date there is an absence of comparative research formalising the role of the meso-level across countries in radical right support. This comparative study proposes an interdisciplinary political science, sociology and geography team to construct a multi-level analysis of four key countries (France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK) which provide varying institutional, infrastructural, socio-economic and attitudinal contexts in which to study the phenomenon. The three-year project will first collate all available secondary political and socio-economic data from official sources to establish an across-time database at multiple levels of territorial aggregation. Second, it will build upon these macro-/meso-level foundations with a standardised large-n survey across the four countries, to collect an up-to-date set of individual demographic, attitudinal and behavioural indicators. Finally, these will be combined in a full mixed model of radical right support, identifying the comparative role of context and individual attributes. The results will provide an unparalleled level of detailed understanding of such determinants, of importance both to academic understanding and to stakeholders' policy planning and implementation.
