Artykuł podsumowuje najnowsze badania dotyczące wpływu imigracji i przyjmowania uchodźców w państwach zachodnich na poparcie dla działających tam populistycznych partii radykalnej prawicy i polityków. Badania te wskazują, że rosnąca imigracja wiąże się ze wzrostem poparcia dla takich partii. Efekty tego są bardziej widoczne na poziomie lokalnym lub regionalnym i dotyczy to szczególnie napływu imigrantów odmiennych kulturowo: muzułmanów w Europie Zachodniej i Latynosów w USA. Ponieważ partie radykalnej prawicy łączą sprzeciw wobec imigracji z opozycją wobec instytucji międzynarodowych, takich jak Unia Europejska i NATO, ich wzrost ma istotne implikacje geopolityczne, zwłaszcza w świetle rosyjskiego poparcia, z którego korzystają. W ten sposób odmienna kulturowo imigracja ma pośrednie, choć dalekosiężne konsekwencje w stosunkach międzynarodowych, wpływając na sytuację geopolityczną w Europie i Ameryce.

This article summarizes recent research on the effects of immigration and refugee admission on the support of populist radical right parties and politicians in the West. According to it, increasing immigration is associated with rising support for such parties. The effects are more visible at the local or regional level and with the arrival of culturally distinct immigrants: Muslims in Western Europe and Latin Americans (Hispanics) in the US. Because radical right parties combine opposition to immigration with opposition to international institutions such as the European Union and NATO, their rise brings important geopolitical implications, especially in the light of Russian support for such parties. This way, culturally distinct immigration has indirect, although far-reaching ramifications in international relations.
