Another chance? Concerns about inequality, support for the European Union and further European integration
利用2009年27个欧盟成员国的调查数据，发现感知到经济不稳定和不安全的公民，无论其当前经济状况如何，都会降低对欧盟现状的支持，但增加对继续一体化的支持，暗示他们可能给欧盟另一次机会来应对不平等问题。
Following the 2007-2008 financial crisis, it was expected that the economic downturn and the widening of economic disparities would produce lower support for the European Union (EU) and its continued integration. Using the 2009 European Election Study (EES) data in 27 EU member states, we find that citizens who see greater economic instability and insecurity, regardless of their current economic status, lower their support for the EU as it is but increase their support for continuing integration. Substantively, this suggests that EU citizens may offer the EU another chance to tackle this timely issue and counterbalance market-generated inequality.
