This study examines the effects of the recent economic crisis, the resulting European Union (EU) financial stability program, and the politicization of the EU on four dimensions of EU framing among Europeans. Based on a detailed set of items on EU meanings from pooled Eurobarometer data from 2004 to 2013, I investigate the evolution of cosmopolitan, utilitarian, libertarian, and communitarian EU framing across EU countries during the economic crisis. The results show, first, that poor economic performances increase negative and decrease positive dimensions of EU framing. Secondly, high unemployment rates affect the EU framing of high-educated citizens to a larger extent, while gross domestic product (GDP) growth impacts mainly on the EU framing of low-educated citizens: high unemployment rates are associated with a smaller gap between high- and low-educated citizens in the way they frame the EU and low GDP growth with a larger gap. Thirdly, benefiting from the EU financial stability program increases citizens' communitarian EU framing and decreases their cosmopolitan understanding of the EU. Lastly, the politicization of the EU is associated with higher positive EU framing and lower negative evaluation of the EU among citizens.
