description When the popular initiative “against mass immigration” was accepted by the Swiss people and cantons on 9 February 2014, Ticino had by far the highest approval rate. The Italian‐speaking canton thus once more confirmed its singular position, assumed since the 1990s, on popular votes regarding immigration and foreign policy. This seems to be indicative of wider crises and changes in both the economic and political spheres that have favoured the emergence of a political opposition between centre and periphery. The results of a survey among 1400 citizens of Ticino after the vote of 9 February confirm this. In essence, on top of the question of immigration, the vote was influenced by a fearful perception of Ticino as a “double periphery” vis‐à‐vis both Berne and Lombardy. Lors du vote du 9 février 2014 sur l'initiative populaire “contre l'immigration de masse”, le Tessin a été de loin le canton suisse dans lequel l'initiative a obtenu le plus large soutien. Le canton italophone confirme ainsi une fois de plus sa singularité dans les scrutins fédéraux sur les thèmes de la politique d'immigration et de la politique étrangère affichée depuis le début des années 1990. Le tournant de la majorité des votants tessinois semble tributaire d'un ensemble de crises et de changements à la fois économiques et politiques qui ont favorisé l’émergence d'une opposition politique basée sur la dimension centre‐périphérie. Les résultats d'une enquête d'opinion réalisée auprès de 1400 Tessinois après le scrutin di 9 février le confirment. En effet, en plus de la question migratoire, l'orientation du vote a été influencée par une perception contrastée du Tessin, où domine la crainte de la “double périphérie” à la fois par rapport à Berne et à la Lombardie. In occasione del voto del 9 febbraio 2014 sull'iniziativa popolare “contro l'immigrazione di massa”, il Ticino è stato il cantone svizzero a esprimere il più ampio sostegno all'iniziativa. Il Ticino conferma una volta ancora la propria singolarità nelle votazioni federali inerenti ai temi della politica migratoria e della politica estera che si esprime dai primi anni Novanta. La svolta della maggioranza dei votanti ticinesi è riconducibile a un insieme di crisi e trasformazioni economiche e politiche che hanno favorito l'emergere di un'opposizione politica fondata sulla dimensione centro‐periferia. I risultati di un'inchiesta d'opinione realizzata presso 1400 ticinesi dopo lo scrutinio del 9 febbraio lo confermano. Infatti, oltre l
