“…1 Recent work has suggested that the issue of economic benefits associated with EU membership is not only crucial for understanding the dynamics of integration and public support for it, but that it is also more complex than is often assumed. Thus, Smith and Wanke (1993) have pointed out that while the EU as a whole may benefit from the implementation of the SEA, the 1992 program, and the Maastricht treaty (Cecchini 1988), different countries can be expected to be differentially successful at dealing with greater economic integration (see also Garrett 1992). The same can be said of individuals (Gabel and Palmer 1995).…”

How can differences in public support for membership in the European Union across the twelve EU member states and among its citizens be explained? Using Eurobarometer polls for 1982, 1986, and 1990, the paper examines how direct and indirect economic benefits associated with EU membership affect support for integration. We find that individuals living in countries that benefit more from EU membership display higher levels of support for their country's participation in the EU. Moreover, the results indicate that those individuals who benefit personally are also more supportive of the integration project. The paper also spells out some of the possible ramifications of these results.

“…12 At the aggregate level of public opinion, nationality or national cultural heritage is important through longestablished political traditions or national specific cultural legacies (Gabel 1998a;Bosch and Newton 1995;Eichenberg and Dalton 1993;Smith and Wanke 1993). Unfortunately, the notion of 'national context' does little to pull back the curtain on underlying complexities; although, one author has linked aggregate support with significant moments in EU history, particularly the emergence of treaties (Çíftçí 2005) thereby implying a relationship between the EU policy process and support.…”

“…A distinct facet of the sociotropic approach is the assessment of being a net beneficiary of the net transfers from the EU to the nation (Anderson and Reichert 1995;Gabel 1998a;Carrubba 1997Carrubba , 2001Gabel and Palmer 1995;Smith and Wanke 1993). While economic in nature, the underlying assumption is that further EU expansion implies continued market liberalization.…”

Since its inception, the European Union has stimulated many vigorous debates. This Living Review provides a state of the field perspective on the academic work that has been done to address the question of the perceptions of the European Union as a system of governance. It takes a broad scope in assessing the efforts of scholars and highlights significant theoretical and empirical contributions as well as identifying potential avenues for research. In order to understand perceptions of the EU, scholars have employed national-level frameworks of popular support, particularly partisanship and instrumental self-interest. As the number of members has increased, further research has taken a broader scope to include national identity, institutions, and attitudes regarding the normative and empirical function of both national and EU institutions. Additional works address political intermediaries such as parties, media, and elites. Finally, all of the works are fundamentally concerned with the supportive popular sentiment that underpins the EU's legitimacy as a political institution. While there are far more works that can be practically included in this review, we have attempted to construct an overview based on the dimensions that define this research as set out by significant contributions at the core of this literature.

“…Appealing to the outright 'costs of non-Europe', many found favorable national-level economic evaluations to be the source (Anderson and Kaltenthaler 1996;Eichenberg and Dalton 1993) and others addressed regional and sectoral economic variation (Smith and Wanke 1993).…”
