Extreme right-wing voting in Western Europe
In this study we explain extreme right-wing voting behaviour in the countries of the European Union and Norway from a micro and macro perspective. Using a multidisciplinary multilevel approach, we take into account individual-level social background characteristics and public opinion alongside country characteristics and characteristics of extreme right-wing parties themselves. By making use of large-scale survey data (N = 49,801) together with country-level statistics and expert survey data, we are able to explain extreme right-wing voting behaviour from this multilevel perspective. Our results show that cross-national differences in support of extreme right-wing parties are particularly due to differences in public opinion on immigration and democracy, the number of non-Western residents in a country and, above all, to party characteristics of the extreme right-wing parties themselves

Structure versus accident in the defeat of Franceâs mainstream Right, AprilâJune 2017
Widely expected to recapture Franceâs presidency and win a parliamentary major
ity in the 2017 elections, Franceâs mainstream Right instead suffered a crushing
and divisive defeat. A major reason for this was contingent: the selection of a candidate who three months before polling day was placed under investigation
for embezzling public funds. Other reasons were more structural, in particular
the progressive dislocation of the bipolar multipartism which had characterised
Franceâs party system for over four decades and the resultant strategic divisions
within the Right. Although broadly chronological, this analysis of the long electoral cycle of 2016â2017 assesses the respective importance of proximate and long-term factors in the Rightâs defeat
