This dissertation applies theories of political conflict, nationalism, and attitude formation to examine how immigration and multiculturalism are reshaping mass political attitudes. I approach these questions through the lens of nationalism, contending that nationalisms have begun to take on a more ``civilizational" character. West European nationalism is being reconstructed in terms of social liberalism, while nationalism in postcommunist Europe emphasizes Christianity. Regardless of the flavor of nationalism across Europe, however, the intent is the same---to broaden the appeal of anti-immigrant politics.The first chapter examines immigration attitudes in Western Europe. It is commonly assumed that opponents of immigration also exhibit conservatism on other sociocultural issues. However, using survey data from 11 West European countries, as well as a Dutch household panel, I find that those born during and after the ``postmaterialist revolution" have weakened associations between gender and immigration attitudes, while older individuals' attitudes are strongly correlated. In the second chapter, I explore the immigration issue in Eastern Europe, where politicization of the refugee crisis by elites has begun to refocus the sociocultural dimension. I compare data from 2008 and 2017 across 10 East European states, finding evidence that traditionalist attitudes are more strongly related to anti-immigrant attitudes since the crisis. Further, immigration attitudes are polarizing across the sociocultural dimension and by education. The third chapter is based on original survey data collected in the United States and Norway to determine the micro-foundations of anti-Muslim attitudes. Some expect conservatives to be more opposed to Muslims than liberals, while others theorize that anti-Muslim sentiment exists across the ideological spectrum, rooted in complex concerns about Islam. Using a conjoint experiment, I find limited evidence of ideological discrepancies. Instead, I find consistency---liberals and conservatives in both the United States and Norway prefer Muslims who are less conservative. The final chapter explores how sociocultural attitudes are ``packaged" across world regions. I focus on two components---traditionalism and ethnocentrism---and examine the cohesion between these two attitudes using data from over 70 countries. I find that tight attitude cohesion is most likely in countries with party systems polarized on the sociocultural dimension.
