The workshop will in particular seek to advance our understanding of ethical conflicts facing voters and strategies for resolving them in the context of migration and populism. This includes but is not limited to questions adressing how the left-right dimension and political cleavages in terms of cultural values structure voters judgments, the extent to which democracies provide opportunities to articulate relevant ethical standpoints on migration, how perceptions of biased electoral representation condition judgements on populist parties and agendas, how voter’s judgements on migration and populism is affected by the electoral system and general questions on the ethics of voting in relation to populist candidates and migration policy. In addition, the workshop will discuss the electoral ethics of migration and populism in the context of impending threats to the democratic order, including the ethical dilemmas of militant democracy.
