Many have expressed that Migration is the topic to be avoided in the campaigning towards the upcoming Dutch parliamentary elections, in order not to favour radical right parties. But what insights do we actually have how migration plays a role in voting, and for migration-negative or radical right-wing parties, in particular? 

In this seminar 6 social scientists from ERCOMER (European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations) share their recent research insights, focusing on the role of migration in voting behaviour. The symposium is organised as a collaboration between ERCOMER and the focus area Migration and Societal Change.
