Electoral Ergonomics
Electoral ergonomics pertains to the interface between electoral psychology and electoral design. It moves beyond traditional models of electoral organisation that often focus on mechanical effects or changes to who actually votes to investigate the ways in which different forms of electoral organisation will switch on and off various electoral psychology buttons (in terms of personality, memory, emotions and identity) so that the very same perso…

Youth Participation in Democratic Life
The Myth of Youth Apathy
A common interpretation of the low levels of electoral turnout among young voters is that they are apathetic and part of a generation that does not care about political issues-indeed, a selfish and materialistic generation. In this article, the authors question this common perception and test this claim against an important alternative: that the limitations to youth participation in Europe are due not to a lack of interest in the public good but …

Uncertain candidates, valence, and the dynamics of candidate position-taking
The Future of our Democracies
This book presents the results of a new comparative research project on the trajectories, motivations, perceptions and attitudes of young members (aged 18-25) of 15 different European political partie
Time Bomb
Based on a three-wave, six-country comparative panel study experiment with 1,197 participants, this article shows how in the long term, political institutions and the media can affect the European identity of citizens. It shows not only that exposure to good or bad news on Europe and to symbols of the European Union has an effect on European identity but also that news works as a powerful time bomb. It suggests that whereas increasingly cynical E…
Tomorrow’s Leaders
Using a mass survey of young members of 15 parties in six European democracies, this article explores their motivations, perceptions, attitudes, and behavior. In a context of general disenchantment with politics and febrile participation, particularly among young citizens, this article explains why a large number of youngsters still decide to get involved in one of the most traditional forms of activism: party membership. The study uses a compara…
Legitimacy, Euroscepticism & Identity in the European Union – Problems of Measurement, Modelling & Paradoxical Patterns of Influence
In the past 10 years, an increasing number of social scientists and communication specialists have tried to understand how political institutions and the mass media attempt to – and often seemingly manage to – influence political identities. This body of literature has resulted in some tremendous progress in our understanding of multiple identities, identity change, and theories of communication, but in the context of European identity, there see…

This book shows empirically for the first time how a mass European identity has emerged across the EU member states between 1970 and the present day. Beyond this novel approach, it also offers a whole

Developments in the ‘Old’ Member States
On what citizens mean by feeling 'European
What is ‘Europe’ for citizens? What do people mean when they say that they feel, or not, European? A growing literature by political scientists and journalists tries to assess European identity. Multiple theories of political identities exist, imposing fairly rigid and untested (and, essentially, untestable) assumptions on what they mean. No deductive technique, however, would allow us to let citizens explain the deeper signification of answers t…
Developments in the Member States
Winning Hearts and Minds for Europe
This article empirically explores the impact of symbols of European integration and good or bad news about Europe on individuals’ European identity. The analysis is based on a distinction between civic and cultural components of identity, which enables testing of the model in a way that could not be done with existing survey instruments. The model depicts these two components as conceptually and empirically distinct and responding differently to …
Diplomacy without a state
The external delegations of the European Commission are unique institutions in the sense that they are embassies without a state. This article first assesses the particularity of their situation owing to unusual political, functional and structural handicaps. This is followed by a review of their actions which are split between the desire to assert their legitimacy as autonomous embassies and the necessity of taking part in the more global frame …
