welfare state chauvinists gender citizenship and anti Democratic Politics in the welfare state paradise
Frontiers in Sociology, 2019Co-Authors: Maria Finnsdottir, Helga Kristin HallgrimsdottirAbstract:The rise of the far-right poses a pressing challenge to Democratic Politics and the democratization of political participation in Western Europe. This paper addresses this issue in the Scandinavian context, examining the importance of welfare chauvinism and gendered citizenship claims in the political rhetoric of the far-right. In so doing, we contribute to a need to examine closely the interplay between gender, citizenship, and welfare Politics and the rise of exclusionary and anti-Democratic Politics. The paper draws on an examination of the party platforms of the three principle far-right-wing parties currently active in Scandinavia: the Danish People’s Party, the Norwegian Progress Party, and the Sweden Democrats as well as descriptive statistics on ethnonationalist tendencies among the Scandinavian populations in recent years, retrieved from the International Social Survey Programme’s (ISSP) 2013 survey on nationalism. We conclude that the far-right in Scandinavia uses gender and ethno-nationalist claims to simultaneously valorize and challenge egalitarianism in the welfare state while also shoring up exclusionary and anti-Democratic claims to citizenship and belonging in the Nordic welfare state.

patterns of disagreement in Democratic Politics comparing germany japan and the united states
American Journal of Political Science, 2005Co-Authors: Robert Huckfeldt, Kenichi Ikeda, Franz Urban PappiAbstract:An important ingredient in Democratic Politics is the experience of disagreement through social communication and political discussion. If people fail to encounter contrary viewpoints, their own views are never challenged, they are never forced to reconsider initially held opinions, and they are effectively excluded from Democratic deliberation. This article examines patterns of political agreement and disagreement within the communication networks of citizens in Germany, Japan, and the United States. Several questions are addressed. Are there cross-national differences in patterns of agreement and disagreement among citizens? To what extent are these patterns subject to individual attitudes, to the structure of communication networks, and to levels of aggregate support for particular preferences and opinions? Finally, what are the implications of disagreement for civic capacity and political engagement? Empirical analyses are based on cooperative election surveys conducted in each country during the early 1990s.
