The anti-democratic prism: Democratic values and political use of social media in six European countries
Empirical studies have yielded mixed results regarding the relationship between the emergence of social media and the perceived unraveling of the democratic consensus in established democracies. This article contributes to the existing literature by examining a previously overlooked avenue for understanding this relationship: we investigate users’ characteristics and self-selection into different social media platforms. The central hypothesis tes…

Russian invasion as a European issue: Vertical Europeanisation of national political debates and the war in Ukraine
This article examines political discourse in the European Union (EU) in the aftermath of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. While prior studies have explored the policy and public opinion effects of this recent crisis, we complement them by investigating its potential to Europeanise national political debates across the EU. We hypothesise that the war, an external security threat, which was met with a unified response from the bloc and s…
Free to move, reluctant to share: Unequal opposition to transnational rights under the EU's free movement principle
Free movement is simultaneously widely acclaimed and strongly contested in the European Union. To address this apparent contradiction, we unpack European Union freedom of movement into its different transnational rights and argue that opposition is unequal across entitlements. Using evidence from a unique survey conducted in the United Kingdom in 2017, we show that citizens mainly contest welfare access. This transnational right implies costs for…
Między kryzysem i transformacją: Polskie organizacje imigranckie w Hiszpanii
Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia wyniki kompleksowego badania polskich organizacji imigranckich w Hiszpanii. Analiza opiera się na danych zebranych podczas pogłębionych wywiadów z członkami polskich organizacji imigranckich w tym kraju, przedstawicielami ich otoczenia, ekspertami oraz przedstawicielami administracji hiszpańskiej. Głęboki kryzys ekonomiczny w Hiszpanii wyłania się jako główny element kształtujący kondycję badanych organizacji. Trudna…
Same Same but Different? Gender Politics and (Trans-)National Value Contestation in Europe on Twitter
The progress achieved in women’s rights and gender equality has become the target of a backlash driven by “anti-gender” activists and right-wing populists across EU member states. To a large extent, this conflict takes place in the digital and social media spheres, illustrating the new mediatized logic of value contestation. Therefore, we ask to what extent are the debates about gender equality on Twitter similar in three European countries, and …
Of losers and laggards: The interplay of material conditions and individual perceptions in the shaping of EU discontent
Two principal strands of scholarship analyse the material roots of European Union (EU) discontent. Some focus on the effects of regional decline, while others examine the role of individual socioeconomic factors. This paper brings these two perspectives together. We argue that EU discontent is a multifaceted phenomenon structured by the spatially-rooted interplay between individual and regional material conditions and subjective perceptions. We a…
The Rise of (Faulty) Euroscepticism? The Impact of a Decade of Crises in Spain
Euroscepticism in Spain has so far constituted a marginal phenomenon. A decade of political and economic crises could, however, be setting the stage for rising Spanish opposition to the European Union (EU). By analysing recent survey data and party manifestos, we verify to what extent this might be the case. We find that both public and party-based euroscepticism has gained ground in the traditionally euro-optimist Spanish context over the period…
European identity revisited: New Approaches and Recent Empirical Evidence
Loving it but not feeling it yet? The state of European identity after the eastern enlargement
The inclusion of 11 new member states from the former Eastern bloc constitutes a significant challenge to the European Union in various respects. Many worry that whatever tenuous ‘European identity’ existed prior to the eastern enlargement, it has now become so diluted that no meaningful European political community can form. We provide an empirical account of the state of European identity after the eastern enlargement through a comparative anal…
