This paper is part of a research project funded by the Wellcome Trust under grant number 048853. Abstract.Drawing on a set of 210 qualitative interviews conducted in 6 European countries this paper investigates the citizenship status and experiences of retired EU migrants at both national and European levels. The paper focuses upon the experiences of two types of respondents: 'Retired Migrants' (retired nationals of one EU country who moved on retirement and reside in another EU host state) and 'Returnees,' that is, those migrants who have chosen to return to their country of origin after a period of residence abroad. In particular this paper will attempt to explore three issues:1. The extent to which retired migrants have access to, and make use of, the public healthcare systems of the countries in which they reside.2. Retired migrants' perceptions and experiences of those systems.3. Whether or not a lack of access to and/or the quality of public healthcare is an important determinant of return migration decisions i.e. moves back to the country of origin.2 By focusing on healthcare the paper combines an analysis of the formal welfare rights available to EU citizens who migrate on retirement (both in terms of their EU rights and their status in the receiving and exporting countries) with qualitative evidence that documents the substantive reality of such rights.

“…Homogeneous groups were chosen since participants who share certain experiences and opinions are probably more willing to exchange ideas and thoughts in a focus group (Jarrett 1993). However, break characteristics were also evident (Knodel 1993), in that the participants worked with different environmental objectives or in different municipalities, county boards, or central agencies.…”

“…The composition of the groups used education as a 'control characteristic' (Bedford and Burgess, 2001;Knodel, 1993). As such, in each region two groups were formed by participants with a university degree (or in the process of obtaining it) and two groups by participants without a university degree (and not willing to obtain it in the future).…”

• This is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication in Political Geography.

Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published at: AbstractThe present article explores meanings of EUrope as they emerged in individual interviews and focus-groups organized around the question of European attachment.The article shows that the ways people make sense of EUrope can be divided into three major categories: cultural-national, cultural-transnational, and functionalutilitarian. Cultural-national referents describe EUrope through the prism of the nation-state and reproduce the isomorphism between territory and identity which has characterized, at least in theory, the nation-state itself. Cultural-transnational referents present EUrope as a normative model for the rest of the world, a model for 'another' globalization, more social and less liberalist, and a champion of humanitarianism and international peace. Functional-utilitarian referents address EUrope as a space which could help the individual and/or the collectivity to which the individual belongs to enhance their well-being. In this latter case, EUrope resonates with a post-national space, one which goes beyond the isomorphism between territory and identity. The article argues that the reasons why people might identify with and support EUrope are different, and not always driven by feelings of emotional attachment. As such, the article brings empirical evidence to the thesis that a EUropean demos, understood as a sense of collective identity, should not be considered as a necessary condition for the existence of a EUropean polity.
