“…One of the few examples is the study by Hooghe and Marks (2009) which pointed out that the European Union was moving from a permissive consensus to a constraining dissensus, thus politicizing European integration both in national elections and referenda. Other more recent contributions explore the added impact of the debt crisis on the politicization of European integration (Gross and Schäfer 2020;Hutter et al 2016;Schäfer and Gross 2020), pointing to an increased relevance of EU matters in the domestic electoral arena after the last recession (see, among others, De Vries and Hobolt 2016;Hobolt and Rodon 2020).…”

“…In recent years, Europe has witnessed Britain's decision to leave the European Union (EU), considerable internal tensions over migration, and an increasing public weariness towards the European integration project (Anderson & Hecht, 2018;Polyakova & Fligstein, 2016;Schäfer & Gross, 2020). More generally, national borders and cultural differences have come to feature prominently in today's political discourse, with new far-right parties offering nationalist and demarcationist positions that were previously non-existent in many West European party systems (Akkerman, de Lange, & Rooduijn, 2016;Kriesi et al, 2008).…”

As globalisation makes national boundaries both permeable and contested, conflicts over national identity and related policy issues are bound to increase the salience of citizens' individual national identitiesand, consequently, increase their impact on political attitudes and behaviour. We study the link between ethnocultural and civic dimensions of national identity and turnout and party preferences. After providing a theoretical discussion that integrates conceptions of national identity into established models of turnout and party preference formation, we explore the merit of accounting for these conceptions of national identity in a case study of Germany. Analysing data from two surveys conducted in the period between 2015 and 2017, we show that acceptance of civic criteria of national identity was positively associated with turnout and partisan support for all German parties besides the AfD. Acceptance of ethnocultural criteria was associated with increased support for (centre-) right and decreased support for (centre-) left parties. Some of these patterns differ significantly and in predictable ways between the two data points bracketing the height of the European refugee crisis. These findings suggest that individual conceptions of national identity may be of importance for our understanding turnout decisions and party preferences, but the specific relationships presumably depend on contextual conditions.

“…The onset of the Eurozone crisis, which was seen as a further moment for EU politicization at the domestic level (Grande and Hutter 2016;Hoeglinger 2016;De Vries, 2018;Hooghe and Marks 2018;Kriesi 2019a, 2019b;Gross and Schafer, 2020), prompted a flurry of new research on the effects of "Europe" on political behavior.…”

The purpose of this article is to examine the politicization of the European issue in the aftermath of the Eurozone crisis, with a focus on the impact on individual opinions and voting at the national and supranational levels. We begin by reviewing the current state of knowledge on the significance of the Eurozone crisis for EU politicization, before summarizing each paper and its contribution. While our contributors may focus on different dependent variables at times, they all address the subject of whether the Great Recession had a long-term impact and whether EU politicization is important. Most of the papers are longitudinal in nature, looking for changes as a result of the crisis. However, papers reviewing the political lessons learned from the Great Recession, as well as those examining whether EU effects can be discovered throughout the post-crisis years, are preoccupied with the Great Recession. Despite the disparities in methodologies and findings, each piece contributes to a major topic in the literature, particularly three key issues that have emerged: the influence of the crisis on European party systems, economic voting, and the degree of legitimacy of democratic institutions.
