Besides testing for alternative explanations, we show that immigrants from established democracies are those who are more green compared to the non-immigrant population, while immigrants from (post-)auth. contexts are not less green than non-immigrants.

Empirically, we use cross-national surveys, V-Dem data, and UN speeches to test our argument. Our results show that this green support gap is robust, the salience of climate change and corresponding post-materialist attitudes are higher in established democracies than in (post-)auth. regimes.

Progressive parties tend to push for migration friendly policies. How well do these parties fare among immigrants? We descriptively document that immigrants from established democracies tend to be more supportive of the greens than those from (post-)auth. contexts. But, why is that?

New preprint available! In this paper, @antvalentim.bsky.social and I investigate why progressive parties, such as the greens, might be more attractive for immigrants from established democracies than those from (post-)authoritarian regimes:
