In this episode, we unpack the psychological foundations of nativism, exploring how fear, identity, and group dynamics drive exclusionary political movements. Drawing insights from the article The Political Psychology of Nativism, we examine how perceived threats and social identity theories shape nativist attitudes and influence political behavior. From the role of in-group bias to the impact of societal anxiety, we delve into the mechanisms that fuel nativist rhetoric and its growing influence in contemporary politics.

From adopting transnational identities to reframing liberty and national interest, their strategic use of EU resources has had profound implications for European politics.
