“…Indeed, Pew Research Center (2017) found that in some Eastern European nations the majority of the population prefer ethnic homogeneity over a multicultural society. This environment coupled with the the fact that there has been an increase in nationalist and ultranationalist political parties across PC nations (Bochsler 2007) has likely heralded heightened ethnic tensions (Vojtech 2010 Europe, which qualifies our initial finding that 'minorities are more likely to identify with Europe'. This finding applies only to Western Europe, where minorities are (still) more attached to Europe than their national majorities.…”

In 2012 we published an article on how attachment to social groups might extend from local communities to the nation and to a transnational entity in the context of the expanding European Union. Since then, the EU has expanded further to formally include a number of post-communist countries and began to face some significant backlash both in Western and Eastern Europe. Using extended International Social Survey Programme data covering 28 countries and 3 timepoints between 1995 and 2015, we revisit the findings and conclusions of our original article. In addition, we complement our analysis with results from the Eurobarometer surveys between 2004 and 2019. Our updated analyses show that 1) the overall level of national identification did not increase substantially in the Western countries despite the rise in nationalist movements in Europe, 2) the length of membership in the EU does not necessarily increase European identification in the long run, notwithstanding a recent uptick in European identification, and 3) ethnic minorities, particularly in post-communist countries, have turned away from Europe.
