Europe between integration and globalisation social differences and national frames in the analysis of focus groups conducted in France, francophone Belgium and the United Kingdom

“…It was manifested equally with regard to the member countries (for example with one participant in the workers group asking if the French get pensions, a question to which nobody in the group knew the answer). Ten years after Diez Medrano's and Belot's research, the analysis, both qualitative and quantitative of our corpus, confirms quite clearly the fact that the discourse of identity and of national sovereignty remains the frame of comprehension for British respondents (Belot, 2002;Diez-Medrano, 2003) 15 . Further, the British groups generally manifest a strong identification with nation first and foremost, in terms of pride and sacrifice.…”

“…Social differences have always been largely predictive of attitudes to European integration, as far as the Eurobarometer allows us to measure these (Niedermayer and Sinnott, 1995;Belot, 2002;Cautrès and Grunberg, 2007). Attitudes are progressively more favourable as we ascend the social hierarchy, and this is so for all countries, and for all age groups.…”

“…Survey findings show the persistence of social and national differences in attitudes toward European integration (Belot, 2002;Citrin and Sides, 2004;Cautrès and Grunberg, 2007) as well as the limits of utilitarian explanation of these differences (Hooghe and Marks, 2004;McLaren, 2006). But it proves singularly difficult to open the black box and discover the mechanisms of perception and comprehension of the phenomenon of Europe by citizens with survey research.…”

Contested rural activities: Class, politics and shooting in the French countryside

“…Tracing further back, quantitative surveys have shown that both social and geographical divisions are relevant to understanding attitudes towards the EU since the 1980s. In the first place, EU supporters are more likely to be university graduates and financially better off, while people critical of the EU are more likely to have lower social status and education levels (Belot, 2002). Second, anti-EU attitudes are most often found in rural areas, while voters in large cities are more moderate (Bussi et al, 2009).…”

Das Europa der Europäer

“…Eines der am besten nachgewiesenen Ergebnisse der europäischen Studien ist, dass das Bildungsniveau, die berufliche Qualifikation und das Einkommensniveau eine Auswirkung auf den Grad der Verbundenheit mit "Europa" haben (Bélot, 2002, Binnema & Crum, 2007. Um diese Ergebnisse zu erklären, haben Gabel und Palmer (1995) die Hypothese vorgebracht, dass die Liberalisierung des europäischen Arbeitsmarktes je nach Bildungsniveau und beruflicher Qualifikation variable Auswirkungen habe.…”
