dc.description.abstract | Empirical research on the determinants of right and left-wing extremist election successes is stilldominated by descriptive statistical methods. The existing literature in political economy andpolitical science mainly relies on interviews and survey results as well as on qualitative analysesof party organizations and programs. Contrary to this approach, in this study we try to identifysignificant, structural socio-economic factors which determined the vote for the right-wing?Republikaner? party and the left-wing Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) in the two recentelections of the European Parliament in Germany. We use a new data set on the level ofGerman counties (Kreise) that is analyzed econometrically by a FGLS random effects panelmodel. The results we obtain are partly in stark contrast to empirical findings discussed in themainstream literature and in the public. The resulting, most important areas of political actionagainst extremist parties seem to be education, a differentiated labor market policy, social workwith adolescents, and the maintenance of a generous system of social security and welfare. | en |
