Quest for Legitimacy: Understanding Threat, Fear, and Political Exclusion
This panel brings together papers looking at how threat affects votes and attitudes. In some cases, the perceived threat is from people moving into an area. In other cases, the perceived threat is from people already in the neighborhood. These papers examine this topic using election data from the United States and Europe.
