DESCRIPTION:\nAgainst the backdrop of rising spatial inequalities\, place-
 sensitive policies have become an increasingly popular instrument to suppo
 rt rural and “left behind” areas. Current studies tend to focus on reg
 ional policies and analyse only the impact of funding. Yet\, people’s ex
 periences with a policy may vary substantially within a region\, and other
  policy characteristics may also affect political attitudes. This paper ai
 ms at overcoming these limitations by studying the effect of individual pa
 yments of the Common Agricultural Policy\, as well as their conditionaliti
 es\, on the political attitudes of French farmers. Based on original admin
 istrative data on CAP funding at the cantonal level matched with national 
 and European election results\, we find that an increase in funding can in
 crease turnout and depress radical right support. Instead\, we do not find
  a consistent effect of the share of environmental policy conditionalities
 . In future iteration\, we plan to complement these findings with intervie
 ws with farmers and an original targeted survey matched with individual-le
 vel administrative data on payments. These results shed light on an unders
 tudied social group which is central to many current policy challenges\, a
 nd contribute to opening a new research agenda on policy feedback in the E
 uropean Union.\n\nChair: Tim Vlandas (St Antony’s College\, Oxford)\n\nS
