[EVENT] Immigration, Nativism, and Changing Politics

In the 2016 election, Donald Trump laid bare the traditional cleavages dividing U.S. politics. His nativist and populist appeals redefined Republican and Democratic coalitions. At a glance, Trump may appear to be an exception, a candidate whose appeal is driven largely by ideology; but, seen through a global lens, his appeal is hardly unique. Immigration and nativist sentiments are evident in elections, parties, and public policies throughout Europe and the rest of the world. However, how these sentiments relate to and are redefining contemporary politics remains a puzzle. 
To explore this puzzle, Ipsos is participating in a one-day symposium with the European Union Center, the Social Science Consortium, and the Public Policy Research Institute at Texas A&M University examining the causes and consequences of nativism, its relationship with immigration, and their influences on politics and policy throughout the world. After the conference, the presented research will be revised and submitted for review as a special issue of Social Science Quarterly.
