Die empirische Studie gibt erstmals einen umfassenden Überblick über die politischen Potentiale des Corona-Protests in Deutschland. Basierend auf Umfragedaten zeigt sie, dass dieser Protest ein erhebliches und relativ stabiles Mobilisierungspotenzial in der deutschen Bevölkerung besitzt. Dieses Mobilisierungspotenzial wird nicht nur aus radikalen-rechten Randgruppen gebildet. Es besteht zu einem großen Teil aus einer von den etablierten Parteien nicht repräsentierten politischen Mitte, die der staatlichen Politik insgesamt misstrauisch gegenübersteht. Dieses Mobilisierungspotential tendiert über Zeit zunehmend nach rechts und es besitzt aufgrund seiner Anfälligkeit für Verschwörungstheorien ein erhebliches Radikalisierungspotenzial. ; The empirical study gives a first comprehensive overview of the political potential of corona-related protests in Germany. It concludes that corona protests have a considerable and relatively stable mobilization potential among the German population. Based on original survey data, the study shows that this mobilization potential is not only formed by the radical right fringe. It also consists to a significant extent of a political center not represented by established parties, which is generally suspicious of the state and its institutions. Over time, the mobilization potential has increasingly shifted to the right and, due to its susceptibility to conspiracy theories, further radicalization seems possible.

This is a dataset on right-wing extremist demonstrations that took place in Germany between 2005 and 2020. We used the German federal government's answers to brief parliamentary questions (Kleine Anfragen) tabled by the opposition left-wing party Die Linke to create this dataset. The dataset consists of 3290 observations and includes information on the location, date, number of participants, organizing actors, and the mottos of the right-wing extremist demonstrations.

The "Religious Fundamentalism and Radicalization Survey (RFRS)" is a large-scale cross-sectional survey conducted among Muslims, Christians, Jews, and non-believers in Cyprus, Germany, Israel, Kenya, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Turkey, and the USA. The survey is designed specifically to test hypotheses related to determinants of religious radicalization. It includes a broad range of variables concerning religiosity, religious knowledge, and fundamentalism, as well as a survey experiment concerning the effect of religious scripture on religious violence legitimation. The data collection in Cyprus, Germany, Israel, Kenya, Lebanon, Palestine, and Turkey was funded by the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, whereas the data collection in the USA was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (#435-2012-0922). The fieldwork for the survey took place between November 2016 and June 2017.

The data set currently only includes the variables used in the following publications:

Kanol, Eylem (2021): Explaining Unfavorable Attitudes Toward Religious Out-Groups Among Three Major Religions. In: Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion. Early view articles. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/jssr.12725

Analyses of other parts of the data set are ongoing. Once these are completed, the entire data set will be made publicly available.
