Social solidarity and justice principles in the European Union
In recent years, research has extensively examined the factors shaping support for social policies at the EU level. However, the role of justice principles as an explanatory mechanism remains underexplored. While these principles have been known to influence attitudes towards national welfare policies, their relevance to social policies at the supranational level has yet to be systematically investigated. This study addresses this gap by examinin…
The relationship between political legitimacy and economic legitimacy
The paper outlines key points of a novel research approach to empirically investigate the question of legitimacy in modern societies. This new research approach utilizes a functionalist perspective to expand the concept of legitimacy. Accordingly, the conceptual framework discusses how legitimacy can be employed in different domains of society. In particular, it proposes to conceptualize both the legitimacy of the political system (political legi…
European solidarity patterns during a pandemic
In recent years, a variety of crises have made European solidarity a salient topic. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, European solidarity yet again came to the fore in spring 2020. The pandemic has burdened European citizens financially, socially and physically; likewise, EU member states have struggled under the economic and social pressure. Consequently, European solidarity will likely be affected by the pandemic as well. This paper uses a primary …
European Solidarity in Times of Crisis
The euro crisis, several sovereign debt crises, the Great Recession, the refugee crisis, and Brexit have all challenged Europeans’ willingness to show solidarity with other European citizens and member states of the European Union. European Solidarity in Times of Crisis provides a clear theoretical framework to understand European solidarity for the first time. It offers a systematic empirical approach to determine the strength and causes of Euro…
How strong is European welfare solidarity?
The Great Recession and the ensuing eurozone crisis affected EU citizens reliant on national welfare state provision especially in Southern European countries. These developments have made the question of whether citizens support European welfare solidarity all the more salient. European welfare solidarity is a form of solidarity that transcends the nation state and refers to solidarity with citizens of other European countries in the form of wel…
The Remains of the Socialist Legacy
Despite convergence processes between Western and post-socialist societies in the past three decades, there are still considerable cross-country differences in individuals’ attitudes toward income inequality. To explain these differences, studies have primarily focused on the role of macro level differences and have only theoretically acknowledged how the role of diverging socialization experiences could also be responsible. To date, little is kn…
Social Cohesion and Its Correlates
Trust can either be conceived of as a social glue in its own right, or as a constitutive element of a larger societal syndrome, termed social cohesion. This contribution takes the latter perspective, analyzing social trust and trust in institutions as integral parts of social cohesion more generally. Despite ongoing worries about the state of social cohesion in contemporary societies, surprisingly little is known as to which macro-level condition…
