June 18, 2018 by Kai Arzheimer

I know that definitions are so 1996, but here are some that bear repeating: Migrant “A person who is to be engaged, is engaged or has been engaged in a remunerated activity in a State of which he or she is not a national” (UN Convention on the rights of Migrants) Refugee “someone who has…

Pooling Polish polls, British parties and the EU, white nationalists, and the Radical Right’s gendered policy agendas: four links I liked

July 12, 2023April 19, 2018 by Kai Arzheimer

Once more, Ben Stanley has pooled the poles’ polls (TM). The result? Some movement, but no crisis [site seems to be gone 🙁 ].
Neat: Alexandre Afonso tracks British parties’ positions on European integration from 1999 to 2017 using Chapel Hill data
Feeling paranoid? Here is an article about “white nationalists infiltrating our workplaces as secret agents”. Actually, it’s mostly about a single agent, but still an interesting article.
Almost by definition, my Radical Right Research Robot posts oodles of interesting links (if you are into that stuff), but here is a favourite that I read with my students just a few weeks ago:

That sounds like a lot of acronyms, but then again, 15 minutes was more than the 90 seconds of soundbites I had budgeted for :-)…

Germany’s AfD: What’s in a Eurosceptic Manifesto?

July 28, 2022February 12, 2014 by Kai Arzheimer

The AfD may be Germany’s new eurosceptic party, but their short manifesto is primarily concerned with Germany and German politics. Here is the wordle to prove it.

Germany’s and Merkel’s role in the euro-crisis

March 14, 2013June 16, 2012 by Kai Arzheimer

Globalisation is a wonderful thing. I just had a full Brazilian. Interview, that is. A journalist for Exeme sent me a mail with a couple of questions, I sent back my answers a few hours later and lo, thanks to broken English and the internet, the job is done, time difference and the Atlantic not…

Why the EU commission takes Germany to court

March 14, 2013June 1, 2012 by Kai Arzheimer

You may or may not be aware that the EU commission has announced yesterday that it will take Germany to court over the country’s failure to transpose the data retention directive into national law. What makes the recent case unusual is its domestic background
