Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper investigates divergences in levels of affective polarization across Belgian regions around the 2019 elections. Elaborating on the relative deprivation theory, we analyse the role of current and long-term socio-economic regional inequalities and of geographical distance separating regions. Empirically, we aggregate individual-level measures of affective polarization at the Belgian NUTS-3 level and use a gravity approach to explore the determinants of regional divergences. Our results show that regional variations in affective polarization are best explained by a current rural–urban divide and by how regions have performed economically in the last years. We also show that geographical proximity matters and reinforces the effects of economic deprivation.

区域不平等是情感两极分化的驱动因素
摘要本文调查了2019年大选前后比利时各地区情感两极分化程度的差异。在阐述相对剥夺理论的基础上,我们分析了当前和长期的社会经济区域不平等以及地理距离分隔区域的作用。根据经验,我们在比利时NUTS-3水平上汇总了情感两极分化的个体水平测量,并使用重力方法来探索区域差异的决定因素。我们的研究结果表明,情感两极分化的区域差异最好用当前的城乡差距以及过去几年各地区的经济表现来解释。我们还表明,地理邻近很重要,并加剧了经济匮乏的影响。
