This volume presents a broad survey of the Republikaner Party, its
program and ideology, its organization, and the composition of its
voters and sympathizers. The authors maintain that any analysis of
the Republikaners must distinguish between the party as represented
by its platform and party officials, and the party as seen by its
voters. Republikaners draw potential voters from two very
differently motivated groups: (1) a small, ideologically oriented
segment dominated by right-wing conservative and right-fringe
extremist attitudes, and (2) a larger, flucating pool of
sympathizers less committed to the REP and primarily concerned with
economic and social issues. Until recently, the Republikaners were
mainly able to exploit narrowly focused, pent-up resentments. The
"foreigner problem" is at the center of Republikaners' propaganda
and serves as a catalyst that adroitly combines numerous related
social problems such as housing shortage, unemployment, and the
widespread fear of being shunted aside by "interlopers." Although
the Republikaners still lack the social foundation and ideological
consensus necessary to build a stable core constituency, the
organization serves as a vehicle for diverse protest. The authors
warn that the Republikaners potentially comprise a base for
organizing a party on the far right of the German political
spectrum.
