Democratization, European Integration, and Identity: attitudes towards the EU across the EU member states and the western Balkans

The scope of this panel is to examine changing attitudes towards the European Union (EU), addressing three different questions, ‘How do attitudes change across public opinion?’, ‘How do attitudes towards migrants relate to the process of EU integration?’, and ‘How and why does the effect of the recent crisis differ between countries?’ The speakers will illustrate different national cases and comparative studies of Ireland, Germany, Poland, Croatia and Serbia, to offer preliminary conclusions in comparative perspective.
