Central and Eastern European attitudes in the face of union: a comparative perspective
"The attitudes of European citizens towards the EU and its institutions before and after their respective countries integration into the Eurozone is an exceptionally important yet entirely understudied topic. Mapping perceptions of Europeans towards the EU from the outside before their accession and from the inside following their integration provides a crucial barometer for Political Scientists to analyse and understand the popularity and levels of satisfaction with the EU amongst the European population at large. In the first book of its kind, Simona Guerra uses data on the popularity of the EU in Central and Eastern before and after accession to explore how and why determinants of support change. In doing so, she also bridges the gap between Eastern and Western analyses on patterns of support for and oppositions towards EU integration. This book is important reading for students and scholars of European integration and the European Union at large"--
Studying the EU and its Pioneers: The Role of Women as Makers and Shapers of the Early Years of EU Integration

La façon dont nous étudions et voyons l'Union européenne (UE) affecte notre interaction avec celle-ci. Des travaux récents sur les biographies de femmes qui ont joué un rôle central dans le processus d'intégration européenne ainsi que sur le genre et la politique de l'UE contribuent à l'intégration du genre dans les études européennes. Pourtant, les femmes restent encore largement absentes et marginalisées dans les récits des premières étapes de l'histoire et de la politique européennes. Cet article contribue à ce débat en suggérant l'établissement définitif d'un champ d'études sur les femmes et leur rôle de créatrices et façonneuses de l'intégration européenne.

"Immigration, that's what everyone's thinking about …": The 2016 British EU referendum seen in the eyes of the beholder
In: Journal of language and politics, Band 18, Heft 5, S. 651-670
ISSN: 1569-9862
Abstract
This article examines the 2016 British EU referendum and the domestic debates through citizens' voices in the media, specifically on the emotions and narratives, on The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Express, the week before the referendum. British citizens felt, in their words, "bullied because of [their] political correctness" and pointed their anger and dissatisfaction against the EU (and Merkel's) "obsession for open borders". The analysis underlines that these emotions and narratives, combining immigration and sovereignty, have remained embedded in the post-Brexit days, and go back not just to Billig's banal nationalism (1995), but show that voting Leave represented respect towards true British values, the "core country" as conceptualised by Taggart (2000). Powellism (Hampshire 2018) and Wright's "encroanchment" of Englishness (2017), and the analysis on the immigration narrative explain how anti-immigration and sovereignty discourse is persisting and is influencing the social and political relation of Britain with Europe.

Distrust unbound: What next after joining the EU
In: Communist and post-communist studies, Band 49, Heft 3, S. 233-241
ISSN: 0967-067X
The 2004–07 EU enlargement towards the post-communist region showed that the long waiting for EU membership could impact on levels of public support for the EU. This article examines citizens' trust towards national and international institutions after joining the EU in Poland, in comparative perspective. In the post-Communist region, levels of trust towards national institutions are generally lower compared to the European and international ones. Politicians and political parties are the most distrusted actors, undermining the social and political fabric in the region. An overview of political participation and levels of trust with focus on national data sets and the European Social Survey shows that levels of trust are quite low and a share of the population is concerned with sovereignty vis-à-vis EU integration. This analysis addresses how the relationship between citizens and institutions have changed and how this may affect not just the EU's policies towards candidate countries and third countries, but how it can also affect citizen participation during the process of democratization and after joining the EU.

Does Familiarity Breed Contempt? Determinants of Public Support for European Integration and Opposition to It before and after Accession
In: Journal of common market studies: JCMS, Band 51, Heft 1, S. 38-50
ISSN: 1468-5965
This article empirically tests how determinants of public support in Poland for the European Union change before and after accession. Despite studies on public attitudes towards EU integration and Euroscepticism that flourished in the run-up to accession, there is no evidence of how determinants changed over time. This study suggests that in Poland citizens support the EU on the basis of a form of 'unconditional support' and general benefits for the country before accession, while personal benefits can become more determinant after accession. Adapted from the source document.
