“…I create a dummy where everyone stating that they identify solely with their nation-states is coded as 1 and everyone else as 0. Despite the prevalence of identities featuring both a national and European component (Risse, 2003;Starke, 2021), previous literature finds that the territorial exclusiveness of an identity matters more for attitudes towards the EU than whether a combined identity is more or less national (Hooghe and Marks, 2005). I assume, in line with a large literature (Bruter, 2003;Foster and Frieden, 2021;Kuhn and Nicoli, 2020;Stråth, 2002;Verhaegen and Hooghe, 2015), that European identity is galvanized by both evaluations of the economic situations and political ideology.…”

Opting for Opt‐outs? National Identities and Support for a Differentiated EU

A large literature investigates individual support for European integration. However, support for differentiated integration has only recently become an important topic of study for public opinion scholars. Previous literature on this issue has not probed how differentiated integration is shaped by exclusively national identities, and whether the effect varies by how differentiation has been implemented. Using survey data from 2020-21, I show that exclusively national citizens are most likely to support differentiated integration that allows for greater national autonomy and may oppose differentiation whose primary goal it is to facilitate further integration. I also find that the effect of national identity on such support is largely independent of whether differentiation has been voluntarily chosen by governments or externally imposed by the EU. This raises important questions both about what kind of differentiated integration will enjoy public legitimacy and how regional contexts shape support for EU differentiation.

“…I construct a dummy where those answering that they identify solely with their nation-states are coded as 1 and everyone else as 0. While mixed national/European identities are more common (Risse 2003;Starke 2021), previous literature finds the distinction between exclusively national and partially territorially inclusive identities to be more important for producing Eurosceptic sentiments than variations between different forms of mixed identities (Hooghe and Marks 2005).…”

Questions about the public legitimacy of the EU’s flexible integration is emerging as an important question for European public opinion research. However, we still know do not know whether the increased familiarity with differentiated integration that exposure to it brings leads to greater support a differentiated EU, and whether the mode of implementation and attitudes towards the EU moderates this effect. Combining recent survey data with data showing country-level exposure to differentiated integration, I show that familiarity with differentiation seems to breed greater support for it. This especially applies to Eurosceptics. It also suggests that support for differentiated integration may be higher where governments frame it as a source of greater national autonomy. My results suggest that exposure to the differentiated integration used to integrate highly salient policy areas can solidify popular support for a less integrated EU. This can complicate the EU’s move towards ‘ever closer Union’.

“…The values of the EU are: human dignity, free movement, democracy, equality, rule of law, protection of human rights. The EU stands as a model of welfare state with a humanistic vision (Minesashvili 2022;Starke 2021aStarke , 2021b. The activities of the EU focus on 5 main objectives: 1) a competitive and smarter Europe, 2) a green Europe: the transition from a low-carbon to a zero-carbon economy, 3) a united Europe promoting mobility, 4) a social Europe, 5) a Europe closer to citizens contributing to sustainable and integrated development of different types of areas.…”

The ongoing political and economic transformations affect the image of Europe: the economic crisis, Brexit, the migration crisis, the Russian-Ukrainian war and other events are a challenge to the image of Europe. Euronews, being Europe’s leading TV channel, is used as a tool to shape Europe’s image by demonstrating European democracy, unity, identity and values. This article presents interpretations of the term ‘regional image’, analyzes the regional image of Europe, the role of the media and, in particular, of Euronews in shaping the regional image, and also presents the results of a content analysis of the channel’s live broadcasts and publications of the official Euronews website. The study clearly demonstrates how Euronews uses the techniques of repetition, exclusion, framing, agenda setting, and the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war to shape the image of Europe in line with the main goals of the EU. This article proposes the features of creating content for the regional image of Europe for the news television broadcast Euronews, scientifically argued from the perspective of communication theory, and examines the features of preparing journalistic material for broadcast.
