Legge, Jerome S. und Rainey, Hal G., (2003). Privatization and Public Opinion in
Germany. Public Organization Review: A Global Journal, 127-149.
Abstract: "Privatization has been a major issue around the world, but research on
public opinion about it has been scarce. The German Social Survey provides an opportunity
to compare citizen opinions from a formerly socialist-authoritarian regime
with those from a democratic regime, in their opinions about privatizing banks, electrical
power, and hospitals. As do citizens in surveys in other nations, Germans support
privatization of the services in the order just given. Citizens from the east, where
privatization led to sharp increases in unemployment, oppose privatization much
more than do westerners. A LISREL analysis indicates that their opposition is not
due to their concerns about its economic effects on themselves or the nation (economic
pessimism), but more due to perception of the proper role of government (opposition
to government spending), and sense of political efficacy. The analysis also
reflects on the roles of other variables such as ideology, partisanship, gender, being
unemployed, education, and preference for taxes versus public services. We discuss
implications for theory and research on public opinion about government policies
and services, such as the role of direct economic self-interest versus more symbolic
and ideological orientations." Datengrundlage ist der ALLBUS 1998.

Abstract: "More recent and comprehensive data are available on attitudes toward
foreigners in united Germany. A second survey of public opinion, the German Social
Survey (ALLBUS), was conducted in 1996 by the Zentralarchiv für Empirische Sozialforschung
und Zentrum für Umfragen, Methoden und Analysen (ZUMA). The
survey poses a broader range of questions regarding attitudes toward both foreigners
and Jews and provides a snapshot of public opinion some five years after the most
serious violence following unification. After a description of eastern and western
Germans concerning their attitudes toward Italians, Jews, ethnic Germans, asylum
seekers, and Turks, I develop several multivariate models of anti-foreign sentiment.
In addition to anti-foreign sentiment in general, the analyses attempts to explain
which factors impact the desire to have foreigner marry into one's family, to have a
foreigner as a neighbour, and to want equal rights for foreigners differ in lifestyle
from Germans, and whether foreigners in Germany should receive the communal
voting right."
