Replication Data for: Voting for Populism in Europe: Globalization, Technological Change, and the Extreme Right

What are the political consequences of economic globalization? Since the
1990s, scholars of European party politics have noted the rise of
extremist parties, especially right-wing populist ones, and the decline
of mainstream left and right parties. This paper focuses on the
association between globalization in terms of trade, capital and labor
flows, technological change, and popular support for extreme right
parties. I examine these relations at the regional and individual level in
15 advanced industrial democracies in Western Europe from 1990-2018.
Globalization, especially in the form of trade, is associated with growing
vote shares for extreme right parties. Technological change in the form
of automation increases support for extreme right parties. The financial
crisis enhanced support for populist right parties and strengthened the
negative relationship between trade shocks and declining support for
mainstream left parties. And the use of social welfare compensation
seems unable to dampen these political trends.
