Data Collection Description Principal Investigator(s): Virginia Sapiro, W. Philips Shively Title: Comparative Study of Electoral Systems, 2001-2006 ICPSR Study Number: 3808 Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Grant Number: CES-0112029 Summary: This study is an early release of 2001 and 2002 data from Module 2 of the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems. The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems is an ongoing collaborative program of crossnational research among national election studies designed to advance the understanding of electoral behavior across polities. The project, which is being carried out in over 50 consolidated and emerging democracies, was coordinated by social scientists from around the world who cooperated to specify the research agenda, the study design, and the micro- and macro-level data that native teams of researchers collected within each polity. To date, Module 2 has been administered as part of eight national post-election survey research projects. This Module 2 data file is an early release of 2001 data from Bulgaria and Poland and 2002 data from France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand, and Portugal. The post-election survey results have been compiled and supplemented with district-level information that provide insight into the respondent's political context, and macro-level data that detail the respondent's political system as a whole. At each level of data collection, the measurements used have been standardized to promote comparison. Module 2 focuses on electoral institutions and political behavior, particularly on the fundamental principles of democratic governance: representation and accountability. It aims to examine how well different electoral institutions function as mechanisms by which citizens' views are represented in the policymaking process, and by which citizens hold their elected representatives accountable. This is accomplished by explicitly linking individual attitudes and behaviors to political context across a variety of settings. Demographic variables include respondents' age, sex, education, employment, and income. Universe: All age-eligible citizens, or citizens of voting age of collaborating countries. Sample: The data collection is a pooled crossnational sample of age-eligible citizens, yielding 12,887 cases. Dates of Collection: 2001-2002 Data Collection Notes: (1) This is an advance release dataset. Information, updates, and error notifications and corrections will be posted on the CSES Module 2 errata page as they become available (http://www.umich.edu/~cses/download/module2/errata/errata.htm). (2) These data are preliminary and lack some of the checking, cleaning, processing, documentation, data, and variables that are usually part of a full release of a dataset. (3) Technical characteristics of the data file, such as variable and column widths, number of variables, and perhaps even some variable names, may change between the advance and full releases of a dataset. (4) The 1996-2001 data file (ICPSR 2683) includes 2002 Portugal data. The 2002 Portugal data are different from the 2002 Portugal data in the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems, 2001-2006 (ICPSR 3808). (5) This crossnational dataset integrates data already fully processed by the study staffs of the individual countries, without further processing except for that which was essential for merging the data into the combined file. Where coded data for any deposited variables deviated too much from the coding scheme required by the CSES codebook, data for such variables were excluded. (6) For some countries, a machine-readable file for appendix documentation was not deposited or was incomplete. Wherever possible, Secretariat staff incorporated documentary information from other deposited sources, including printed matter such as tables of frequency distributions with assigned code labels. (7) Because of the variance in the sample designs used in the election studies included in this project, the weights (variables B1010-B1014) provided by the collaborators also vary greatly. They are described in detail in the codebook. Analysts are advised to read this section carefully to ensure that their analyses are weighted appropriately. (8) The codebook for Part 1 of this collection contains characters with diacritical marks used in many European languages, which are unprintable in the original character format being released. (9) The codebook is provided by ICPSR as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. The PDF file format was developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated and can be accessed using PDF reader software, such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Information on how to obtain a copy of the Acrobat Reader is provided on the ICPSR Web site.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING ADVANCE RELEASES: This dataset and all accompanying documentation is an "Advance Release" of CSES Module 2 (2001-2006). By definition, an Advance Release is a preliminary version of a dataset, and thus lacks some of the checking, cleaning, processing, documentation, data, and variables that are usual to the Full Release of a dataset. For instance, many election studies that will eventually be present in the CSES Module 2 Full Release are not available in this file. Because Module 2 extends through the year 2006, many of the elections whose election studies will contain CSES Module

  • And Long-Term Electoral Returns to Beneficial

Bechtel { ETH Zurich Jens Hainmueller { Massachusetts Institute of Technology This version: May 2011 Abstract This documents provides additional information referenced in the main paper. Michael M. Bechtel is Postdoctoral Researcher, ETH Zurich, Center for Comparative and International Studies, Haldeneggsteig 4, IFW C45.2, CH-8092 Zurich. E-mail: [email protected]. Jens Hainmueller is Assistant Professor of Political Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Mas- sachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139. E-mail: [email protected]. I. Potential Alternative Explanation for High Electoral Returns in Affected Regions Some have pointed out that the SPD's victory in 2002 may have simply resulted from Gerhard Schr¨oder(SPD) being much more popular than his political opponent Edmund Stoiber and not from the incumbent's massive and swift policy response to the Elbe flooding. For this argument to be valid we should see a differential reaction to the announcement of Stoiber's candidacy in affected and control regions. We use state-level information on the popularity of chancellor Schr¨oderfrom the Forsa survey data to explore the validity of this argument. Figure 2 plots monthly Schr¨oder'sapproval ratings in affected and unaffected states in 2002.

  • Cause Or Consequence? the Alternative for Germany and Attitudes Toward Migration Policy
    Cause or Consequence? The Alternative for Germany and Attitudes toward Migration Policy Hannah M. Alarian Political Science, University of Florida Abstract: Does a far-right electoral victory change mainstream support for migration policy? Although we know how migration can shape support for the far-right, we know little about the inverse. This article addresses this ques- tion, exploring whether an Alternative for Germany (AfD) candidate’s election changes non-far-right voter attitudes toward migration policies. In combining the German Longitudinal Election Study Short-Term Campaign panel with fed- eral electoral returns, I find the AfD’s 2017 success significantly altered migra- tion attitudes. Specifically, policy support for immigration and asylum declined precipitously where an AfD candidate won the plurality of first votes. Yet these voters were also more likely to support multicultural policies for current immi- grants. Successful AfD candidates therefore appear to enable both an endorse- ment of xenophobic rhetoric and a rejection of cultural assimilation. Keywords: elections, far-right populism, Germany, migration, public opinion Few policies are as connected to the rise of the far right as migration. Even in Germany where nationalistic politics are highly stigmatized, the far-right, Alternative for Germany (AfD) has proven successful in linking itself with nativist migration policies. This change in focus for the AfD from Euroscepti- cism to nationalism came at the height of the 2015 refugee crisis, a message that resonated with traditional mainstream and, perhaps surprisingly, immigrant voters.1 For many of these voters, the 2017 election provided a direct referen- dum on Chancellor Angela Merkel’s stance on refugee resettlement,2 espe- cially within eastern districts where demonstrations against immigrants and asylum seekers continued to erupt.3 Thus, by stoking mass anxiety over migra- tion and leaving its Eurosceptic roots behind, the AfD sought a new strategy to secure its place on the national stage in the 2017 Bundestag election.

  • German Teacher Candidates' Perceptions of Their Roles in the Lives of Syrian Refugee Students in Dresden
    GERMAN TEACHER CANDIDATES' PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR ROLES IN THE LIVES OF SYRIAN REFUGEE STUDENTS IN DRESDEN Sarah Elina Heineken A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2019 Committee: Bruce Collet, Advisor Christy Galletta-Horner Christina Guenther © 2019 Sarah Heineken All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Bruce Collet, Advisor Beginning in 2011, the Syrian Conflict caused the widespread displacement of over five million people and caused a steep rise in the number of asylum seekers entering the European Union. Chancellor Angela Merkel adopted a controversial open-door policy in the summer 2015 that lifted previous quotas on the number of refugees that could enter Germany (Liebe, Meyerhoff, Kroesen, Chorus, and Glenk, 2018). This policy decision has led to an increase in the presence of Syrian refugee students in Germany public schools, particularly in regions that are less accepting of refugees and foreigners. This study examines the research question: how do German teacher candidates understand their role in the lives of the secondary school-aged Syrian refugees now present in German classrooms? Bourdieu’s (1973) social and cultural capital theory and Bronfenbrenner’s (1977) ecological systems theory provide a framework for my study and allow me to examine the ways in which German teacher candidates assess this phenomenon and identify critical forms of support that Syrian refugee students need. I collected data from eleven individual interviews with teacher candidates from a university in Dresden and coded the data to assess overarching themes that helped to answer the research question.
