Study by Dr. Christopher Wratil (CCCP) et al. for the Bertelsmann Foundation

Regierungsgebäude mit Deutschlandfahne

Dr. Christopher Wratil, Thyssen Postdoc Fellow at the Cologne Center for Comparative Politics (CCCP), published a new study entitled "The Hour of Populists? - Populist attitudes among voters and non-voters before the Bundestag election 2017" in cooperation with Dr. Robert Vehrkamp and on behalf of the Bertelsmann Foundation. The study is based on an online panel survey.

In the press the study has already been taken up, here a selection of publications:

"Warum deutsche Populisten "enttäuschte Demokraten" sind" , in: Süddeutsche Zeitung (25.7.2917).

"AfD-Populismus: „Nicht den Hauch einer Chance“", in: Handelsblatt (25.7.2017).

The study can be found here (pdf):

„Die Stunde der Populisten? – Populistische Einstellungen bei Wählern und Nichtwählern vor der Bundestagswahl 2017“

An interview with Christopher Wratil about the study can be found here:

„Populismus ist nicht nur öffentlich sondern auch wissenschaftlich ein umstrittenes Konzept“ (in German - English version coming soon!)
