Nach der Landtagswahl in #Sachsen-Anhalt stellt sich die Frage mit neuer Dringlichkeit: Würde Regierungsverantwortung die AfD „entzaubern“? 📊 Unsere Analyse von 1.307 Regierungen in 57 Demokratien zeigt: Die radikale Rechte wird dadurch nicht schwächer, im Schnitt gewinnt sie rund 6 Prozentpunkte.

Research shows that heat can increase human aggression, but data from 1 million amateur football matches in Germany suggest there may be a limit: fouls and misconduct rose with temperature up to approximately 13°C but declined thereafter. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/f0vc50ZijAE

Do far-right parties gain electoral support by embedding their members in sports clubs, cultural societies and volunteer fire brigades? Excited to present my research on far-right infiltration of civil society at #EPSS2026 tomorrow! 🗓️ Saturday, 3:20 - 5:00 pm 📍Broadway (Hilton)
From Sports Clubs to Ballot Boxes: Far Right Infiltration of Civil Society and Consequences for Political Behavior
Annina Hermes 
June 2026
Abstract
Does the strategic infiltration of civil society associations strengthen far-right parties?
While existing research on far-right normalization emphasizes elite cues and electoral breakthroughs, less is known about how extremist actors gain influence through grassroots embedding in everyday social life. I argue that by entering and assuming leadership positions in non-political associations - sports clubs, cultural societies, church councils - far-right actors can strengthen their party through three channels: normalizing their ideology and lowering the perceived costs of supporting it, shifting attitudes through trusted personal contact, and mobilizing existing sympathy into participation and organizational capacity. I construct a
novel dataset linking AfD candidates and members to leadership positions in more than 480,000 civil society associations across Germany between 2013 and 2025, providing the first systematic measurement of far-right embeddedness in local civic life. Leveraging variation in the timing of leadership turnover within associations, I employ a staggered difference-in-differences design to estimate the effect of AfD infiltration of civil society organizations on electoral support for the AfD.
This study highlights a critical mechanism through which democratic societies become vulnerable to extremist influence: the everyday social spaces meant to strengthen civic life can become vehicles for undermining democratic norms and empowering anti-democratic
movements.
