摘要
Since its formation, the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) has been subject to a lively debate. While it has been characterized as Turosceptical' in public, the party is more and more accused of promoting conservative and right-wing positions in terms of societal policy and integration as well as showing anti-establishment attitudes. Based on theoretical work on (right-wing) populism, we deduce a measurement concept that is applied to all relevant parties campaigning in the 2013 Bundestag election by using a comprehensive candidate survey. The results suggest that the AfD is indeed a right-wing populist party in comparison to other parties. Moreover, they encourage the application of our measurement approach in a comparative research design.
