This article explores the effects of different individual level factors on the vote to eight nationalist parties in Belgium, Britain & Spain. Specifically, we check whether the two variables associated to the ethnoregionalist category, that is ethnic identities & claims for regional self-government, are the main factors explaining electoral mobilization for the eight parties. Our analysis also considers other explanations from the literature on nationalism as control variables: these are social stratification factors, religion, ideology, & a protest vote. Empirical results are contrasted at two levels: regional & general elections. The results of our analysis allow us to suggest a characterization, based upon the ethnoregionalist category, of the eight nationalist parties considered. Finally, we also explore possible reasons behind different types of mobilization. Tables, Appendixes, References. Adapted from the source document.
