Multiple roots of the populist radical right: Support for the Dutch PVV in cities and the countryside

Populist radical right parties are considerably more popular in some areas (neighbourhoods, municipalities, regions) than others. They thrive in some cities, in some smaller towns, and in some rural areas, but they are unsuccessful in other cities, small towns, and rural areas. We seek to explain this regional variation by modelling at the individual level how citizens respond to local conditions. We argue that patterns of populist radical right support can be explained by anxiety in the face of social change. However, how social change manifests itself is different in rural and urban areas, so that variations in populist radical right support are rooted in different kinds of conditions. To analyse the effects of these conditions we use unique geo-referenced survey data from the Netherlands collected among a nationwide sample of 8,000 Dutch respondents. Our analyses demonstrate that the presence of immigrants (and particularly increases therein) can explain why populist radical right parties are more popular in some urban areas than in others, but that it cannot explain variation across rural areas. In these areas, local marginalization is an important predictor of support for populist radical right parties. Hence, to understand the support for the populist radical right, the heterogeneity of its electorate should be recognized.     

为激进式改革正名——兼论我国改革应综合运用渐进式改革与激进式改革

根据唯物史观，激进式改革和渐进式改革本质上是一种质变与量变的关系。二者作为改革的基本方法，本身无好坏之分。一国到底适用何种改革方式，一切都应依条件、地点和时间为转移。     

扭曲政绩观的心理学探析

政绩观是领导干部创造政绩的思想基础，它潜在地决定着领导干部的政绩行为。扭曲政绩观表现为谋一时之利、谋局部之利、谋个人私利、谋GDP片面增长、谋无过便是功，它给党和国家带来极大的危害。本文从心理学的视角分析了扭曲政绩观形成的机制，认为政绩需要、政绩诱因、政绩观预期和评价、政绩行为相互作用导致了扭曲政绩观的产生和深化。为此，亦从心理学的角度提出纠正扭曲政绩观的对策：完善领导干部考评、任用机制，净化诱因环境；加强教育，合理疏导政绩需要；健全监督和奖惩制度，强化良好政绩行为。     

Gender and right-wing populism in the Low Countries: ideological variations across parties and time

ABSTRACT

Although scholarship on the general ideological orientation of right-wing populist parties is well established, few scholars have studied their ideas about gender. De Lange and Mügge therefore ask how differences in ideology shape right-wing populist parties' ideas on gender. Drawing on the qualitative content analysis of party manifestos, they compare the gender ideologies and concrete policy proposals of national and neoliberal populist parties in the Netherlands and Flanders from the 1980s to the present. They find that some parties adhere to a modern or modern-traditional view, while others espouse neo-traditional views. Moreover, some right-wing populist parties have adopted gendered readings of issues surrounding immigration and ‘Islam’, while others have not. The variation in stances on ‘classical’ gender issues can be explained by the genealogy and ideological orientation of the parties, whereas gendered views on immigration and Islam are influenced by contextual factors, such as 9/11.     

The transnationalization of the extreme right and the use of the Internet

Like many other political actors, the extreme right is currently expanding beyond national borders, and, as with any civil society organization, the Internet is assuming a growing role in achieving this goal. To date, however, this topic is understudied. In this article, aiming to empirically filling this gap, we shall explore the new tactics of the extreme right in Europe and the USA in the context of transnational politics. Namely, we investigate the degree and forms of extreme right transnationalization (in terms of mobilization, issues, targets, action strategies, and organizational contacts) and the potential role of the Internet in these developments. The analysis combines qualitative and quantitative data derived from 54 interviews with representatives of extreme right organizations in six European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Spain) and the USA with a formalized Web content analysis of 336 right-wing websites. We will compare different types of right-wing groups which compose the radical right family (from political parties to associations), underlining the main differences and similarities across groups and across countries.     

INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF A PSYCHOLOGICAL MODEL FOR JUDICIAL DECISION MAKING IN CONTINUING RESTRAINING ORDERS

Probate and family court judges are increasingly called upon to make rapid decisions regarding the continuance of restraining orders. These decisions are often made without the benefit of adequate background information or an awareness of which psychological and behavioral factors are most relevant. This action‐oriented research project develops a model that brings psychosocial factors to consideration for judges making decisions regarding the continuance of restraining orders. While further evaluation of the model is needed, the project's unique methodology highlights the value of interdisciplinary collaboration, multiple methods of inquiry, and the consideration of real‐world needs and constraints in developing decision‐making tools.     

关于基层警务建设中公权力扩张的思考

当前，公安机关基层警务建设回应了社会变革中人们对安全的强烈需求，是公权力向居民生活领域的扩张。公权力介入与基层民众自治之间应该是以满足社会基本需求为目的的一种动态平衡。从长远来看，培植民众治安自治力量才是解决基层社会安全问题的理想选择。     

激进与保守——汉语语法研究现状的哲学思考

目前的汉语语法研究存在着激进与保守两种倾向,这主要体现于古今汉语的语法研究中。只有打通古今,以汉语传统语法研究方法为根基,相互借鉴,才会走出一条适合汉语语法特性的研究新路子,建立中国特色的语法理论,让中国的语言理论走向世界,才不会成为一句空话。     

利益在政策制定中的影响作用

利益和政策是密不可分的。利益是政策产生的前提和基础 ,政策则以利益的调整和实现为内容。要自觉发挥利益在政策制定中的作用 ,承认人的利益存在的客观性 ;必须代表最广大人民群众的利益 ;必须发扬民主、实事求是 ;必须建立合理有效的政策反馈机制和评价机制。使政策能够不断适应变化着的利益需求和利益关系。
