Replication Data for: Investigating the Radical Right’s Family-Policy Agenda: Evidence from Six European Countries

The positions of the radical right parties (RRPs) concerning the family have generally been examined through a socio-cultural lens, but very little is known about their distributive preferences. Based on the theoretical insights from the literature on the varieties of familialism and social investment, the article investigates the RRPs’ family policy agenda in terms of preference and support for familialism and de-familialism. Furthermore, cross-country similarities and differences will be investigated through an explanatory framework that combines the literature on partisan politics with that on historical institutionalism. A content analysis of party manifestos has shown that the RRPs adopt a male-breadwinner policy agenda, mostly intended to please their authoritarian electorate. However, comparative empirical research has highlighted some cross-country differences. These are explained by considering the counter-feedback mechanism triggered by the policy legacies, which provides RRPs with divergent electoral incentives and disincentives to promote their family agenda.

极右翼政党（radical right parties, RRPs）有关家庭议题的立场，过往研究多从社会文化视角展开探讨，但学界对其分配性偏好的认知仍极为有限。本文基于家庭主义多元性与社会投资领域相关文献的理论洞见，从极右翼政党对家庭主义与去家庭化的偏好与支持程度两个维度，探讨其家庭政策议程。此外，本文将结合政党政治与历史制度主义的相关文献构建解释框架，以此考察跨国层面的异同特征。对政党竞选纲领的内容分析显示，极右翼政党奉行男性养家者型家庭政策议程，此举主要旨在迎合其威权主义选民群体。不过，比较实证研究亦揭示了部分跨国差异。上述差异可通过政策遗产触发的反反馈机制加以解释：该机制为极右翼政党推行家庭政策议程提供了差异化的选举激励与抑制因素。
