Abstract

Previous research indicates that concerns about a decline in status can be a powerful motivator for voters who back nationalist parties in elections. Drawing on a new study, Phil Howe, Edina Szöcsik and Christina Zuber demonstrate how nationalists can win support by promising voters a change in the social order that benefits them as members of the nation.
