Why is it important?
It is important because we show that the factors that account for the vote for populist radical right parties in Western Europe do not travel well to Central and Eastern Europe.
Perspectives
Euroscepticism boosts populist radical right party voting almost without exception, while nativism, regarded as the most important factor in the West, is only relevant in about half of the cases. Moreover, economic deprivation has no impact in Central and Eastern Europe, and political mistrust works in the opposite way to the West.
