摘要:
This paper addresses two major limitations of cross-national research on electoral support for extreme right parties (ERPs) in western Europe: its almost exclusive focus on nationallevel data and its failure to examine the role of the social welfare state and social capital. We employ Tobit I estimations in an additive and interactive model and compute conditional coefficients and standard errors for several interactive variables. We conclude that levels of social capital play a major role in mediating the relationships between immigration, unemployment and support for ERPs. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
