Does radical right success change attitudes or the local climate? Stefan Dahlberg, @hilmal.bsky.social & @polhosc.bsky.social examine Sweden, finding contextual alignment, not persuasion. Read OPEN ACCESS: buff.ly/rI91be4 @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social #polsky #polsci #RadicalRight
"Abstract
Electoral success of radical right parties is often argued to normalize previously stigmatized anti-immigration attitudes. Yet, it remains unclear whether such normalization reflects genuine within-individual persuasion or shifts in the local climate of political expression. We address this question by linking highly disaggregated district-level vote shares to individual-level panel survey data from Sweden (2018–2022), a period marked by sustained growth and partial normalization of the Sweden Democrats. Cross-sectional analyses reveal pronounced contextual patterns: Restrictive immigration attitudes are more prevalent in districts with higher local radical right support, particularly among voters who do not support the party, while core supporters remain comparatively stable. However, first-difference panel analyses provide little evidence that changes in local radical right support are associated with attitudinal change. The findings suggest that what appears as normalization in ecological analyses is more consistent with contextual alignment than with rapid persuasion, clarifying the micro-foundations of radical right normalization."

The paper shows that while workplaces may serve as sites for countervailing processes to educational polarization, structural patterns of educational sorting in the labor market contribute to a political polarization of education groups at the aggregate. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

📌 The main finding is that working alongside more university-educated colleagues has a liberalizing effect on political attitudes, independent of an individual's own level of education. Panel data suggests that not only selection effects drive the association.

In light of recent labor market trends showing educational sorting at work, I use population-wide administrative data linked to a representative election survey to study the attitudinal effects of our colleagues.

Do educational networks at workplaces shape political attitudes? 👬 Happy to share that the latest paper in my dissertation is now published in @bjpols.bsky.social.

How do individuals normatively assess changes to the social order and what does this tell us about electoral realignment? New publication with @dpzollinger.bsky.social and Tabea Palmtag out now in the Journal of European Public Policy 😊 doi.org/10.1080/1350...

@dpzollinger.bsky.social and I are thrilled "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" is out as an SI at @wepsocial.bsky.social! Its papers explore the foundations of the cleavage pitting new left against radical right parties, and how it compares to the classic cleavages of Lipset & Rokkan: 🧵⬇️

❗Among their electoral potential, social democratic parties face very few strategic dilemmas. Left-progressive appeals resonate most strongly. New study in @worldpolitics.bsky.social with @tabouchadi.bsky.social , @indubioproreto.bsky.social, Nadja Mosimann, and @markuswagner.bsky.social Thread👇

📘 The Socializing Effect of Education on Authoritarian–Libertarian Values Education is the key predictor for cultural liberalism. In this chapter, we review the growing literature on how education shapes Authoritarian–Libertarian values, with special attention to the social dimension of education.

📘 Education and Political Participation revisited Ten years after Mikael’s publication, this chapter revisits how education influences political participation through three theoretical models: the absolute, pre-adult socialization, and relative model—and reviews recent findings in the field.

Do we systematically prefer educated candidates? Or do educational groups select in ways that reward their own? This article by @turnbulldugarte.com and I suggests the answers are yes, and yes - but only for the graduate group. Huge thanks to all who shared their data with us!

New publication out! This one took years of data collection, but it clearly illustrates how Sweden's high-quality state bureaucracy is the result of centuries of gradual power struggles and strategic investments in education—a process I term administrative democratization.
