Islam as “violent ideology” and immigration policies as “leftist hobbies”.
Master thesis, Master Religion Conflict and Globalisation.
Abstract
This research investigates the development of nativism and the role of Islamophobia and affect
in the manifestos of the Dutch Partij Voor de Vrijheid (PVV). The PVV is considered to be
Populist Radical Right (PRR), a political stream of which nativism is regarded an important
component. This research has been conducted with a qualitative content analysis of the party’s
manifestos from 2006 until 2023, with regard to the themes nativism, Islamophobia and affect.
Results show that there has been a shift of interest in the manifestos, from Islam to immigration
in general. The emotion ‘hate’ is found to be employed the most, later manifestos show an
increase in the application of the emotion ‘pain’. It is argued nativism has changed from a
cultural context to an economical context, along with a growing sentiment of injustice.
Keywords: PVV, PRR, nativism, Islamophobia, affective politics
