New preprint available! In this paper, @antvalentim.bsky.social and I investigate why progressive parties, such as the greens, might be more attractive for immigrants from established democracies than those from (post-)authoritarian regimes:

Glad to see this out at @ajpseditor.bsky.social! I show that the immigration-crime issue, when salient, can shift leftist cosmopolitans to the Right. This is due to leftist voters being more conservative on crime than leftist parties.

Concern that immigration worsens crime problems is prevalent across Western publics. How does it shape electoral politics? Prior research asserted a growing left–right divide in immigration attitudes...

1/ How does migration affect political attitudes? Using 380k obs from 104 sending & 28 receiving countries, @filipkostelka.bsky.social, Nicolas Sauger & I find some migrants’ attitudes align with locals, while others exceed origin-host context, reshaping ideological space.

🚀 Our paper (with @eliaskoch.bsky.social) on ‘The Politics of Seeking and Avoiding Discourse in Parliament’ is finally out as EarlyView at the EJPR!

The politics of seeking and avoiding discourse in parliament / When do politicians debate each other in parliament, and when do they prefer to avoid discourse? While existing research has shown MPs to unilaterally leverage the dialogical nature of legislative debates to their advantage, the circumstances facilitating actual discursive interaction have so far received less attention. We introduce a new framework to study the emergence of discourse in political debates. Applying this framework, we expect ideological differences and government–opposition dynamics to shape politicians' choices about seeking or avoiding discourse. To test these hypotheses, we draw on an original dataset of all 14,595 attempted and successful interventions (Zwischenfragen) – extraordinary, voluntary discursive exchanges between speakers and MPs in the audience – in the German Bundestag (1990–2020), extracted using an annotation pipeline developed specifically for this study. We find that MPs separated by diverging preferences seek discourse with one another more often than their ideologically aligned counterparts. At the same time, these exact attempts do less frequently result in discursive interactions. When considering government–opposition dynamics in this process, we observe very similar patterns: Attempts to initiate discourse are particularly common among opposition MPs facing government speakers, and we find tentative evidence suggesting that government actors are most likely to avoid these invitations to discursive interaction. Our findings have important implications for our understanding of elite behaviour in public environments.

Partisans often seem unwavering in their support for a politician/policy, even when faced with opposing evidence. But recent studies show that partisans can be persuaded. So how can both be true? My new @bjpols.bsky.social ky.social paper explores this Q: doi.org/10.1017/S000...

Our findings highlight how important it is to understand variation between different immigrant groups, besides contributing to the puzzle why progressive parties and candidates and their migration friendly platforms might not attract votes from all immigrant groups alike.

(6/6)

Korinna Lindemann @korinlind.bsky.social · Mar 26

Besides testing for alternative explanations, we show that immigrants from established democracies are those who are more green compared to the non-immigrant population, while immigrants from (post-)auth. contexts are not less green than non-immigrants.

(5/6)

Korinna Lindemann @korinlind.bsky.social · Mar 26

Empirically, we use cross-national surveys, V-Dem data, and UN speeches to test our argument. Our results show that this green support gap is robust, the salience of climate change and corresponding post-materialist attitudes are higher in established democracies than in (post-)auth. regimes.

Korinna Lindemann @korinlind.bsky.social · Mar 26

Building on political socialisation and cultural transmission, we argue that differences in the salience of green issues and post-materialist values across these contexts can help explain this pattern.

Korinna Lindemann @korinlind.bsky.social · Mar 26

Progressive parties tend to push for migration friendly policies. How well do these parties fare among immigrants? We descriptively document that immigrants from established democracies tend to be more supportive of the greens than those from (post-)auth. contexts. But, why is that?
