Two PhD Positions: 'Social Policy Preferences, Vote Choice and Trust'
**Faculteit/Dienst**:Faculteit der Maatschappij
- & Gedragswetenschappen**Opleidingsniveau**:Master**Functie type**:Promotieplaats**Sluitingsdatum**:14 October 2024**Vacaturenummer**:13406- The Department of Political Science of the University of Amsterdam is hiring two PhD-students in a research project funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO), titled ‘Social policy preferences, vote choice and trust’. Both PhD-projects are co-supervised by dr. Gianna Eick, dr. Armen Hakhverdian, and prof. dr. Wouter van der Brug.- Public opinion research reveals that large majorities of citizens in advanced democracies are in favor of more economic equality. And yet, in many countries parties who champion redistribution from the rich to the poor have fallen on hard times. The mismatch between public preferences for more egalitarian politics and the decline of parties with more egalitarian agendas has received ample scholarly attention. Some argue that the electoral decline of the left is due to the adoption of Third Way politics in the 1990s, while others focus on the politicization of socio-cultural issues such as immigration.- Yet, it is unlikely that this is the full story. At present, the literature does not provide a satisfactory solution to the puzzle of why many citizens prefer more egalitarian distributions of income and wealth, while at the same time opposing specific welfare state arrangements. And, while many researchers have linked general redistributive attitudes to vote choice, there is very little research into specific social policy preferences and voting behavior. We believe trust plays a pivotal role in understanding this matter. Voters who distrust either the political actors and state institutions (such as parties, parliament or bureaucrats) that are designed to govern welfare state arrangements, or voters who distrust other citizens (and thus think that they are likely to abuse welfare state arrangements) are unlikely to support left-wing policies and parties, even if they are in favor of more economic egalitarianism.-
