What has driven the votes for Germany’s right-wing Alternative für Deutschland?

Roth, Alexander, Wolff, Guntram B., (2017), “What has driven the votes for Germany’s right-wing Alternative für Deutschland?”, Bruegel, 5 Οκτωβρίου

Last Sunday’s federal election in Germany gave unprecedented strength to the right wing party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). The AfD is the third-largest party, with 12.6% of the votes and 94 of the 709 seats in the Bundestag (since the election, two members have left the AfD parliamentary group).

Much commentary has focused on why, where and how this has happened. Some focus purely on demographic factors (old vs young) or economic factors (unemployment, income).
