Who votes for new parties? Economic voting, political ideology and populist attitudes

The late-2000s economic and financial crisis is widely credited with facilitating the success of new political parties in Europe. Hugo Marcos-Marne, Carolina Plaza-Colodro and Tina Freyburg argue that voting for new parties cannot be understood as a mere economic response. Rather, populist attitudes can make citizens perceive of new parties as a real alternative to traditional forces in times when economic crisis meets a deepening crisis of democratic representation.

Symptom oder Einzelfall? Wie im Fall der Deutschen Umwelthilfe politische Kompetenzen überschritten werden

Die Affäre um manipulierte Abgaswerte, die die Autoindustrie seit 2014 ins Schwanken gebracht hat, wirkt bis in deutsche Verwaltungsgerichte: Wiederholt klagt die Umwelt- und Verbraucherschutzorganisation Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) auf die Einhaltung von Stickoxid-Grenzwerten, Fahrverbote werden angeordnet. Regierungs- und Oppositionsparteien fordern nun die Aberkennung der Gemeinnützigkeit und des Verbandsklagerechts sowie Streichungen von Fördermitteln des Vereins, der sich wiederholt in den Fokus der öffentlichen Debatte und Kritik gebracht hat.

The negotiation of democracy promotion: Introducing a new perspective on dynamics of interaction in the promotion of democracy

Democracy is not simply a good that can be exported from one country to another. Democracy promotion, by definition, involves interaction between external actors and various kinds of “local actors”, “recipients” or “partners”. But the complex interplay between external and local actors is rarely studied in democracy promotion research. A new special issue of the journal Democratization, edited by EDP network members Annika E. Poppe, Julia Leininger and Jonas Wolff, contributes to filling this research gap by looking at negotiations in and of democracy promotion. This contribution to the EDP Wire briefly summarizes the introduction to the special issue.
