Populism and Discontent: A Spatial Analysis of the 2023 Czech Presidential Election

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

While populism has kept the attention of scholars for years, only a handful of elections have presented as clear-cut a distinction between populism and anti-populism as the face-off between Andrej Babiš and Petr Pavel in the 2023 Czech presidential elections. To investigate the factors behind the electoral support for the populist candidate Babiš, we first discuss populist and anti-populist approaches and connect them to the emerging literature on the geography of discontent. Then, we analyse census data at the municipality level using two regression models: the ordinary least squares and spatial error methods. The spatial error regression variant is helpful when analysing aggregate data as it evaluates the spatial clustering of residuals. Overall, we conclude that Babiš was most successful in regions marked by socio-economic deprivation and social capital deficiencies. Consequently, based on the overarching theoretical framework and empirical findings, we suggest several implications that could help mitigate political discontent in the future.
