The political (dis)integration of Europe."This book unveils the significant impact of the European integration process on the political thinking of European citizens. With close attention to the interrelation between social and political divisions, it shows that an integrated Europe promotes consensus but also propagates growing dissent among its citizens, with both objective inequalities and the subjective perception of these inequalities fueling political dissent. Based on original data-sets developed from an EU-funded project across nine European countries, the volume demonstrates the important role played by the social structure of European social space in conditioning political attitudes and preferences. It shows, in particular, that Europeans are highly sensitive to unequal living conditions between European countries, thus affecting their political support of national politics and the European Union. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and politics with interests in Europe and the European Union, European integration and political sociology"-- Provided by publisher.Routledge studies in political sociology.Political attitudes of divided European citizensPublic opinionEuropean Union countriesPublic opinion306.2094Lahusen Christian850154NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910688411203321The political attitudes of divided European citizens2996081UNINA
