Prejudice and Politics in the Netherlands

后殖民主义的困境在整个欧洲掀起了一股移民潮；共产主义的崩溃使其膨胀。这些新的“局外人”给欧洲各国政府带来了一系列问题。这些国家的一些政府和社会本身也承受着经济和政治压力，其原因与外部团体的到来无关或只是略微相关，这只会使问题更加严重。在整个西欧，对外来者的愤怒是显而易见的，引发了反移民暴力，并增强了新政党的普遍吸引力，这些政党打着准法西斯主义的旗帜，披着种族主义和仇外情绪的外衣。这项提案寻求资金，以继续正在进行的关于偏见对群体间冲突的后果的合作研究计划。这项研究将在荷兰进行，费用将与欧洲同事分担。荷兰为这项研究提供了一个重要的地点，一方面是因为它的平等主义政治文化，另一方面是它的殖民主义历史。对荷兰公民的计算机辅助实验调查将被用来衡量关于群体冲突的情景观点与性格观点在理论上融合的可能性。该项目扩展了首席调查员及其欧洲合作者在美国和意大利进行的一系列研究。***

The predicaments of post-colonialism launched a wave of immigrants across Europe; the collapse of communism has swollen it. These new "outsiders" raise a host of problems for governments across Europe. That a number of these governments and societies are themselves under economic and political stress, for reasons independent of or only marginally related to the arrival of outside groups, only aggravates the problem. Throughout Western Europe there is an unmistakable anger toward outsiders, sparking anti-migrant violence and swelling the popular appeal of new parties parading under quasi-fascist banners and draping themselves in racist, xenophobic sentiments. This proposal seeks funding to continue an on-going collaborative research program on the consequences of prejudice for intergroup conflict. The research will be conducted in the Netherlands and costs will be shared with European colleagues. The Netherlands offers an important site for this research because of, on the one hand, its egalitarian political culture and, on the other hand, its history of colonialism. Computer assisted experimental surveys of Dutch citizens will be used to gauge the possibilities for theoretical melding of situational perspectives on group conflict with dispositional perspectives. This project extends a series of studies conducted both in the United States and in Italy by the principal investigator and his European collaborators. * * *
