title: The relationship between populist voting behaviour and residence in proximity to refugee centres in the Netherlands
creator: Derksen, Michiel
description: Recent studies have shown how the location of a refugee centre might have an impact on the voting  behaviour of nearby neighbourhoods. This study explains how contact theory and the halo effect  explain why it is not the people living closest to the refugee centre voting for populist  anti-immigrational parties but rather citizens living too far from the refugee centres to experience the  effects of immigration and integration. Using a multiple linear regression it is found that all the  variables used in the research have a significant impact on voters to vote for an anti-political  establishment party. Distance is posetively correlated with the percentage of votes populist parties  receive in Dutch neigbourhoods.
