| book description |

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Todayâ€™s political debates are fiercely polarized. But looking beyond the headlines, this book shows that ordinary citizens hold much more nuanced, less divided views. Drawing on rich survey data and group discussions, this work maps four major areas of conflict: migration, climate change, diversity and economic justice. Across these conflicts, most citizens take positions that are middle-of-the-road, contradictory or undecided. It is only certain â€œtrigger pointsâ€ â€“ like gendered pronouns or refugee admissions â€“ that predictably ignite tensions and deep disagreement. Political entrepreneurs know this and weaponize trigger points for their agenda. Yet the real key to contemporary conflicts, the book argues, lies in social inequality. This is a vital work that maps todayâ€™s political landscape without sensationalism, offering a fresh lens on public debate.
