However, it seems that agents' actions are more constrained than individualistic accounts suggest and…

Many scholars have sought to link the rise of right-wing populist movements, like White Christian Nationalism (WCN), to the impacts of political-economic structural changes, such as globalization and financialization. Although these structural changes may explain some grievances, they do not explain why people express those grievances in the…
