Countering Post-Truth: A Comparative Study of Journalists’ Responses to Disinformation Challenges
This study explores how journalists respond to post-truth challenges through qualitative interviews with professionals from seven European countries. It examines their perceptions of disinformation, key obstacles, and effective countermeasures. Findings reveal diverse practices and regulatory contexts, showing how digitalization, political polarization, and economic pressures undermine journalism and spread false information. Simultaneously, emer…
New or old politics? Understanding public preferences for the EU single market
Despite its place at the core of EU integration, support for the EU’s single market is under-investigated by European public opinion scholars. This paper uses novel survey data from eight EU member states to compare how utilitarian concerns, postmaterialist values and national identities shape popular views of the EU’s single market. Focusing on the freedom of movement for goods, workers, and services, we find that postmaterialist attitudes more …
Comparing elite and citizen attitudes towards the differentiated implementation of EU law: Evidence from a large- N survey of citizens, politicians and bureaucrats
Transnational regulatory harmonisation is a key building block of the international legal order. However, little is known about how elite and citizen views of it differ. Using data from a Norwegian survey from 2023 this article finds both citizen-elite and intra-elite gaps in perceptions of legal harmonisation. First, citizens are significantly less likely to support legal harmonisation than bureaucrats. In contrast, the article finds that their …
Reinforcing or Rethinking? What do News Consumers Want from Journalism in the Post-Truth Era
Policymakers and news producers have long grappled with the challenges that fake news and misinformation pose to quality journalism. This has given rise to an extensive body of literature, covering various aspects from the characteristics of fake news to strategies for addressing it. However, the preferences of news consumers regarding the future of journalism and their views on how journalistic commitment to truth can best be maintained remain r…
Do Citizens Have Views about Single Market Governance
To what degree do citizens hold structured views about the governance of openness in multi-jurisdictional markets? This article presents the results of a preregistered experiment that assesses public attribution of governmental authority with respect to five issues central to market integration. We fielded the survey in the world’s two largest single markets, the United States and the European Union (EU). Across the nine sampled countries (N = 17…
Postfunctionalism across the Atlantic: The “New Politics” in European Integration and US Federalism
The European Union’s internal market was modeled in part on the United States’ national market, yet public attitudes toward market governance in the two arenas have long been understood through different theoretical lenses. In this article, we apply the postfunctionalist theory of European integration—developed to explain EU citizens’ attitudes toward supranational authority—to American federalism, testing whether cultural identity divides (GAL/T…
Opting out of an EU identity? The effects of differentiated integration on European identity
Past Political Asymmetry and Present Public Opinion: How Has the Asymmetrical Federation of the EU Shaped Popular Opinion of Its Optimal Shape
Asymmetries in the formal obligations and rights afforded to sub-units are mainstays of many federations that have been extensively studied from many angles. However, we know relatively little about how these asymmetries shape views on federalism in the future. By leveraging data on differentiated integration in the European Union (EU), conceptually very similar to asymmetrical federalism, and survey data on attitudes toward the optimal future of…
Opting for Opt‐outs? National Identities and Support for a Differentiated EU
An extensive 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 framed. Using survey data from 2020 to 2021, I show…
Testing Causal Inference Between Social Media News Reliance and (Dis)trust of EU Institutions with an Instrumental Variable Approach: Lessons From a Null-Hypothesis Case
Given the well-documented negativity bias and attitudinal entrenchment associated with sharing and debating news in social media, a reasonable and already substantially investigated assumption is that those getting news about the European Union (EU) mostly from social media would be more sceptical of its institutions than others. Empirical research on this topic has thus far largely deployed experimental and observational methods to investigate t…
Constraining dissensus and permissive consensus: Variations in support for core state powers
Public opinion regarding EU integration has become increasingly important in light of both increasing public scepticism to integration and the EU’s gradual shift towards integration of core state powers (CSPs). This article contributes to an emerging literature studying support for integration of core state powers by investigating whether such integration, given its greater potential for polarisation and activation of nationalist identities, is m…
