Unequal shifts in regions’ job structure and political attitudes in Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Titulaire d’un master en sciences politiques et administration publique de l’Universit\u00e9 de Constance, Gina-Julia Westenberger a travaill\u00e9 en tant que doctorante FNS \u00e0 l’Institut des sciences sociales entre 2022 et 2026. \u00c0 l’automne 2025, elle a effectu\u00e9 un s\u00e9jour acad\u00e9mique au Nuffield College, \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 d’Oxford. Elle a soutenu sa th\u00e8se sous la direction du Professeur Daniel Oesch le 25 juin 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans le contexte d’un regain d’int\u00e9r\u00eat pour la polarisation g\u00e9ographique des attitudes politiques et du comportement \u00e9lectoral dans les pays occidentaux, sa th\u00e8se examine la structure et les cons\u00e9quences politiques des changements professionnels r\u00e9gionaux en Allemagne entre les ann\u00e9es 1990 et 2020. Elle teste \u00e9galement, \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle europ\u00e9enne, deux m\u00e9canismes souvent avanc\u00e9s pour expliquer le lien entre d\u00e9clin \u00e9conomique r\u00e9gional et vote pour l’extr\u00eame droite : le pessimisme individuel face au march\u00e9 du travail et les ressentiments culturels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ses analyses s’appuient sur un \u00e9chantillon de 2% des biographies professionnelles int\u00e9gr\u00e9es, sur des donn\u00e9es d’enqu\u00eate individuelles issues du German Socio-Economic Panel, de l’European Social Survey et du projet Welfare Priorities, ainsi que sur plusieurs bases de donn\u00e9es \u00e9conomiques administratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les r\u00e9sultats remettent en question les hypoth\u00e8ses g\u00e9n\u00e9rales de la litt\u00e9rature sur la \u00ab g\u00e9ographie du m\u00e9contentement \u00bb. En Allemagne, l’\u00e9volution professionnelle de long terme suit globalement un clivage urbain-rural, mais les h\u00e9ritages est-ouest et nord-sud introduisent une forte h\u00e9t\u00e9rog\u00e9n\u00e9it\u00e9. Ce changement structure le soutien aux partis sur tout l’\u00e9chiquier politique : une faible progression professionnelle est associ\u00e9e \u00e0 un soutien accru aux sociaux-d\u00e9mocrates et \u00e0 l’extr\u00eame droite, tandis qu’une forte progression favorise les verts et les lib\u00e9raux. \u00c0 l’\u00e9chelle europ\u00e9enne, aucun lien constant n’appara\u00eet entre le fait de vivre dans une r\u00e9gion en d\u00e9clin \u00e9conomique et un pessimisme individuel accru ou des ressentiments culturels plus marqu\u00e9s. En somme, cette th\u00e8se montre que le changement professionnel r\u00e9gional est un outil utile pour \u00e9tudier les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s territoriales, qu’il structure le soutien politique au-del\u00e0 de l’extr\u00eame droite, et que les deux m\u00e9canismes individuels souvent invoqu\u00e9s pour expliquer la g\u00e9ographie du m\u00e9contentement n’op\u00e8rent pas de mani\u00e8re uniforme selon les contextes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
