Campaigning in Radical Right Heartland.
The electoral politicization of immigration and ethnic relations
in Austrian general elections, 1971-2013
Immigration and ethnic diversity are contentious political issues in contemporary Europe that increasingly structure the campaigning strategies of political parties. This book provides insight into the processes driving party politicization by presenting findings from the heartland of the radical right: Studying competition on migration and diversity in Austria since the 1970s, it reveals how parties adapt their electoral priorities to changes in the party system and the socio-structural conditions. The findings document the evolution of a new dimension of political competition and the way that niche parties – in particular the radical right – can impact on mainstream party politicization in the electoral arena.
