Doctoral Thesis Summary
In my thesis I study how electoral success of populist right-wing parties influences political integration of Muslims in Western Europe. In studying political integration, I focus on attitudes, political trust and forms of political participation. Relying on Social Identity Theory I construct and test novel mechanisms that populist right-wing electoral success influence political integration outcomes by increasing levels of perceived discrimination and anxiety among Muslims. I utilize existing high-quality data from general and panel surveys and collect novel data through online surveys. In testing proposed mechanisms, I employ strong causal inference designs such as difference-in-difference and experiments. Thesis is done under supervision of Dr. Gizem Arikan.
