Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the factors which explain public attitudes to welfare chauvinism in Italy. The notion of ‘welfare chauvinism’ refers to the idea that foreigners, considered as out-groups, should have limited or even no access to domestic social security benefits. We focus on the role played by individual transnationalism: i.e. direct and indirect ties and connections with people and cultures of other European countries. We postulate that transnationalism dilutes fears and anxieties, fostering pro-opening attitudes. We test the research hypotheses by using original survey data collected during the 2018 Italian elections, in which the issues of welfare benefits and immigration shaped the election campaign.

意大利的跨国主义和福利沙文主义:来自2018年竞选活动的证据
摘要本文调查了意大利公众对福利沙文主义态度的影响因素。“福利沙文主义”指的是这样一种观点,即被视为外群体的外国人享受国内社会保障福利的机会应该是有限的,甚至是没有的。我们关注个人跨国主义所起的作用:即与其他欧洲国家的人民和文化的直接和间接联系和联系。我们假设跨国主义会淡化恐惧和焦虑,培养开放的态度。我们通过使用2018年意大利大选期间收集的原始调查数据来检验研究假设,其中福利和移民问题影响了竞选活动。
