Inhaltsangabe

After five decades, "Europe" as a political entity has become increasingly visible to ordinary citizens and an object of political debates. Much of what is known about citizens' attitudes towards Europe is limited to quantitative surveys largely centered on identifying who is for or against the EU. The proposed volume seeks to present a more complete and nuanced picture based on over 600 qualitative interviews conducted in France, Germany, Poland and Italy between 2006 and 2009. The volume seeks to specify the full range of attitudes, the cognitive bases used to formulate opinions, the degree of consistency and conviction of attitudes and the pertinence of sociological and contextual factors explaining observable variations in these attitudes. The results question many of the sweeping generalisations and assumptions about the structuring of public perceptions of "Europe". The edited volume will be composed of 12 chapters, all based on intensive fieldwork. The first chapters will discuss the theoretical and methodological underpinnings and the following chapters will focus on a particular type of attitude, social group, or recurrent themes structuring perceptions. The book is targeted to students and scholars in sociology, political science and European studies, as well as European professionals.
