Migrants as part of ‘the people’ in populist mobilisation

Abstract

This panel explores the appeal of populist among groups with migrant background: e.g., emigrants, immigrants or immigrant-origin groups from specific countries or regions of origin. It focuses on, how and when do populist actors reach out to find supporters among migrant groups, how is that reconciled with their traditional supporters, and on the radical right, with their nativist ideology. The panel aims to analyse both the political supply- and demand-side, i.e. looking both at the motivations and strategies of the populist actors as well as the dispositions of migrant-background groups that makes them receptive to populist political mobilisation, as well as the role the homeland or country-of-residence context plays in conditioning support for populist actors.
