Summary
This chapter begins the examination of how environmental factors shape the local organizational development of extremist right-wing parties by looking into the way electoral dynamics shape organizational choices and outcomes. It first engages with the broader and extant literature examining the link between electoral and organizational factors. It uses this literature to generate hypotheses on how electoral incentives shape the organizational trajectories of local party branches. The first empirical section of the chapter focuses on how electoral considerations shaped the organizational choices the GD made. The second empirical section investigates how various electoral factors, such as electoral performance, district size or local incumbency, helped shape organizational outcomes.
