Davis, Amber (2012), The Impact of Anti-Immigration Parties on Mainstream Parties' Immigration Positions in the Netherlands, Flanders and the UK 1987-2010: Divided electorates, left-right politics and the pull towards restrictionism European University Institute DOI: 10.2870/4016 Abstract The rise of anti-immigration parties across Western Europe has put enormous pressure on mainstream parties to adapt their competitive strategies. This thesis tests the hypothesis that mainstream parties have reacted to the rise of an anti-immigration party by taking up more restrictive immigration positions. Previous research on the impact of the rise of an anti-immigration party on immigration positioning is sparse, and centres mostly on the supply side of the political market using one-dimensional left-right explanations, which generally do not provide a satisfactory framework to explain party movement. This thesis is based on a spatial two-dimensional model of political competition and combines analyses of the demand and the supply side of the political market. Focusing on the cases of the Netherlands, Flanders and the UK in the time-period 1987-2010 it shows that parties ultimately respond to electoral pressure when choosing their immigration strategy. The thesis has three main findings. Firstly, voters perceive their parties to have too liberal immigration preferences, causing a persistent anti-immigrant gap to exist. In combination with high divisiveness of the immigration issue for mainstream party constituencies the anti- immigrant gap provides opportunities for an anti-immigration party to emerge strongly in multi-party systems. Secondly, the electoral market on immigration is characterised by conflicting incentives, which makes successfully reacting to an anti-immigration party very difficult, especially for traditional mainstream parties. Thirdly, patterns of political competition on the immigration dimension reflect these conflicting incentives. On the one hand, the high divisiveness of the issue at party level urges mainstream parties of left, centre and right equally to depoliticise. Accordingly, parties tend to compete with relatively liberal immigration positions in the absence of a credible threat by an anti-immigration party. On the other hand, a correlation between the left-right and the immigration dimension on the demand side of the political market at party system level creates a pull towards restrictionism, which is stronger for parties on the right. Once an anti-immigration party presents a credible threat parties indeed react by moving their immigration position closer to that of the anti-immigration party following a left-right logic, sometimes dramatically so. The party system strongly impacts the dynamics of indirect impact: in the UK mainstream parties never lose the initiative on immigration to an anti-immigration party. i Davis, Amber (2012), The Impact of Anti-Immigration Parties on Mainstream Parties' Immigration Positions in the Netherlands, Flanders and the UK 1987-2010: Divided electorates, left-right politics and the pull towards restrictionism European University Institute DOI: 10.2870/4016 Table of Contents Acknowledgements x CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1 Central Themes of Research 3 The ‘gap’ hypothesis 4 Constraints on party movement 5 Indirect impact 7 Research Design 8 Case selection: the countries 8 Case selection: the parties 9 Time frame 10 Structure of the Thesis 11 CHAPTER 2 The Dynamics of Indirect Impact 15 Introduction 15 Earlier Work 17 One‐dimensional models of spatial competition: a critique 17 Two‐dimensional models 19 The Argument: How Indirect Impact Works 24 Theoretical Underpinnings of the Argument 25 Modelling party behaviour 25 Essential preconditions: barriers to entry & cross‐party consensus 26 Indirect impact: Votes versus Ideology 28 Electoral incentives: left‐right preferences versus immigration preferences 29 Electoral constraints: divisiveness 31 Some Qualifications 33 Endogenous public opinion 33 Political rhetoric versus policy reality 34 Conclusion 35 CHAPTER 3 Trump or Joker?

The high tide of Christian orthodoxy and classical liberalism belongs to the era when natural law was the fundamental concept of all serious thought about the human world.

An earlier version of this text was presented at the conference “The World Out of Balance?” (Gummersbach, Germany, November 5–7, 1999), held at the Theodor Heuss Akademie, and organized in cooperation with the Von Mises Institute (Ghent), Nova Civitas (Ghent), and The Centre for a New Europe (Brussels). The author wishes to thank the participants for their questions and comments. 1By “classical liberalism,” I mean the liberalism of those who postulate a necessary link between liberty and objective law and justice, i.e., respect for natural persons, their property, and contractual obligations.

  • Prof. Lieven Annemans Oud-Kamervoorzitter Siegfried Bracke Zal Laudatio Uitspreken
    Persbericht Libera! Vzw – 26 mei 2021 Voor onmiddellijke verspreiding en publicatie DENKTANK LIBERA! KENT PRIJS VOOR DE VRIJHEID 2021 TOE AAN PROF. LIEVEN ANNEMANS OUD-KAMERVOORZITTER SIEGFRIED BRACKE ZAL LAUDATIO UITSPREKEN Professor Lieven Annemans is hoogleraar gezondheidseconomie aan de Faculteit Geneeskunde van de Universiteit Gent en is ook verbonden aan de Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Al jaren is hij, via talrijke publicaties en lezingen, een groot pleitbezorger voor een rationele benefit-cost-benadering van de gezondheidszorg waarbij hij zowel irrationele besparingen als inefficiënte kostenstromen bekritiseert. Professor Lieven Annemans is ook bekend als ‘geluksprofessor’ door zijn boeiende analyse van de factoren die ons geluks- of ongeluksgevoel bepalen. Recent bracht hij nog het boek ‘Geluk vinden zonder het te zoeken’ uit, naar eigen zeggen een ‘wij-boek’ over hoe we als samenleving gelukkiger kunnen worden. Benevens deze verdiensten is de actuele aanleiding van de toekenning van de Prijs voor de Vrijheid evenwel de rol die professor Annemans heeft gespeeld in de coronacrisis en de daarmee gepaard gaande discussies over de gepaste beleidsmaatregelen. Professor Annemans heeft het aangedurfd de evidentie van de door het officiële virologendom gepropageerde maatregelen in twijfel te trekken door te wijzen op het impact ervan op het welzijn van de bevolking en op het perverse effect van het voortdurend creëren van een angstcultuur. De waarschuwing dat de remedie erger kan zijn dan de kwaal heeft geleid tot ostracisme door adepten van die remedie, voortdurende aanvallen in de pers en zijn uiteindelijke beslissing ontslag te nemen uit Celeval. Libera! wijst erop dat pandemiebestrijding geen vrijgeleide kan zijn voor ongebreidelde vrijheidsbeperkingen. Deze moeten steeds afgewogen worden met hun impact op andere gezondheidsaspecten, op de economische welvaart en het welzijn van de bevolking in het algemeen.

Volgens Libera!-voorzitter Boudewijn Bouckaert komt de “Prijs voor de Vrijheid” toe aan Fernand Huts omwille van de drie volgende redenen. Als dynamisch ondernemer heeft Fernand Huts de Katoennatie uitgebouwd tot een bedrijf met meer dan 12 000 werknemers wereldwijd. Door zijn initiatieven in de logistieke sector in de haven is hij een voorbeeld van de kracht van het vrij ondernemerschap. Op politiek vlak neemt Fernand Huts zijn verantwoordelijkheid op door zijn niet aflatende strijd tegen de corporatistische regulering van de arbeidsmarkt in de haven, die innovatie en tewerkstelling tegenwerkt. Door zijn engagementen in de kunstensector toont Fernand Huts aan dat de openstelling van cultuur naar het volk ook mogelijk is zonder overheidsinterventie en subsidies. De prijs zal in Antwerpen worden uitgereikt op vrijdagavond 10 juni 2016. Meer informatie over de avond zelf zal ten gepasten tijde beschikbaar gemaakt worden op de website.

  • Natural Law, Liberalism and Christianity
    Natural Law, Liberalism and Christianity Frank van Dun* Introduction Classical liberalism arose at a time when Christian orthodoxy was still vibrant. Both went into sharp decline from the later nineteenth century onwards.1 The thrust of my argument is that this is no coincidence. Liberalism and Christian orthodoxy presup- pose the same moral ontology of natural law. They share a number of fundamental ideas about the nature of man and of interpersonal relations. The high tide of the Christian orthodoxy and classical liberalism belongs to the era when natural law was the fundamental concept of all serious thought about the human world. By the begin- ning of the twentieth century that concept was rapidly losing its hold on the intellectu- al imagination. Today it is no longer part of the standard intellectual equipment. Among intellectuals the philosophy of natural law has been superseded in the course of the last century by a the progressivist belief in the more or less imminent approach of a ‘new age’ in a national or global ‘social Utopia’ (or, more recently, ‘Ecotopia’). Progressivism, as I understand it, is not simply the recognition of the ‘wealth explo- sion’ that began in the nineteenth century and that has been and is the basis of very real progress in science, technology and the standard of living. It is a religion that combines millenarian and gnostic themes and presuppositions to justify the compuls- ory sacrifice of the limited natural rights of individuals on the altar of an unlimited ‘right to everything’—a right to the total liberation from the natural and social con- straints of the human condition.2 As such, progressivism is a frontal attack on the philosophy of natural law.

  • Persbericht Libera! Vzw - Voor Onmiddellijke Verspreiding Libera! Kent De Prijs Voor De Vrijheid 2018 Toe Aan De Nederlandse Politicus En Auteur Thierry Baudet
    Persbericht Libera! vzw - voor onmiddellijke verspreiding Libera! kent de Prijs voor de Vrijheid 2018 toe aan de Nederlandse politicus en auteur Thierry Baudet. Denktank Libera! kent jaarlijks de “Prijs voor de Vrijheid” toe aan personen die zich op intellectueel, politiek, sociaal of cultureel vlak verdienstelijk hebben gemaakt in het bevorderen van de individuele vrijheid en de vrije samenleving. Daarbij hoeft Libera! het niet steeds eens te zijn met alle ideeën of initiatieven van de laureaat. Met zijn boek “De Aanval op de Natiestaat" heeft Thierry Baudet gewezen op het gevaar van de machtsconcentratie op Europees niveau voor de traditionele rechten en vrijheden van de Europese burgers. Baudet wijst erop dat natiestaten, omwille van hun traditie en gedragenheid bij de bevolking, het beste politieke platform vormen van deze rechten en vrijheden. De Europese instellingen zijn hoogstens complementair aan de natiestaten maar moeten niet in hun plaats treden. In zijn boek “Oikofobie,de angst voor het eigene” hekelt Baudet de neiging bij de westerse culturele elites om de eigen beschavingswaarden, nationale identiteit en eigen gebruiken af te vallen of te ridiculiseren. Thierry Baudet is er tevens in geslaagd om zijn ideeën een praktisch politiek verlengstuk te geven door met zijn partij “Forum voor Democratie” een plaats te veroveren in de Nederlandse Tweede Kamer. Daarmee brengt hij een intellectueel onderbouwd Euro-scepticisme binnen in het democratisch debat in Nederland en onrechtstreeks ook in Europa. Libera! hoopt dan ook dat met de toekenning van de Prijs voor de Vrijheid aan Thierry Baudet ook in Vlaanderen het debat over Euro-realisme en Euro- scepticisme wordt geïntensiveerd.
