This book provides a systematic overview of the prevalence, causes, and stability of left-wing and right-wing extremist attitudes in Germany between 1994 and 2017. It shows that there are many similarities between left-wing and right-wing extremists, both in terms of their ideologies and their individual experiences. Overall, these causes can be traced back to three factors: unmet individual needs (e.g., deprivation or disenchantment with politics), access to ideological narratives that promise simplified solutions to individual problems, and the larger social circumstances of life (e.g., transformation processes, unemployment, or immigration). Although extremist attitudes are relatively rare, they are also shown to be highly stable: once acquired, individuals are difficult to bring back onto the democratic path. This book is the first to systematically compare left-wing and right-wing extremist attitudes, to provide an intensive methodological contribution to the measurability of such attitudes, and to relate their causes and stability. Sebastian Jungkunz is a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute for Socio-Economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, Post-Doctoral Visiting Fellow at the Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences, Germany, and project leader at Zeppelin University, Germany. He received his PhD from the University of Bamberg, Germany, and was a visiting scholar at Waseda University, Japan. He is currently working on projects concerning the impact of socio-economic problems on cognitive health and political participation, the development of political attitudes among adolescents, and the measurement and explanation of political and religious extremism.

Democracy has to be learned and lived - school is the ideal place for this. This book shows where pupils in Germany, Austria and Switzerland can have a say in their schools and how they learn tolerance, empathy and self-efficacy in the process. The study reveals that participation usually takes place outside of the classroom, although young people are particularly interested in greater involvement in classroom topics. Demokratie muss gelernt und gelebt werden – ein idealer Ort dafür ist die Schule. Das vorliegende Buch zeigt, wo Schülerinnen und Schüler in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz in ihren Schulen mitbestimmen können und wie sie hierbei Toleranz, Empathie und Selbstwirksamkeit erlernen. Die Studie macht deutlich, dass Mitbestimmung in der Regel außerhalb des Unterrichts stattfindet, obwohl für junge Menschen gerade eine stärkere Beteiligung an Unterrichtsthemen besonders interessant ist.;
