Terrorist violence and the fuzzy frontier: national and supranational identities in Britain
研究英国背景下恐怖袭击对个人国家认同的影响，发现暴露于恐怖袭击会强化对英国的认同，但对构成国认同无影响，且对欧盟态度更积极，支持超国家团结效应。
Abstract We explore the effect of terrorism on individuals’ perceptions about national identity in the context of Great Britain, where national and supranational identities overlap. We find that exposure to terrorist attacks strengthens identification with Britain but has no effect on identification with its constituent nations. The estimated effects last for about 45 days, but subside over time as the threat fades away. We also find that exposure to terrorism leads to more positive attitudes toward the European Union, providing further support for the emergence of a supranational-unity effect. Overall, our results differ from numerous previous studies on how violence reinforces “hardline beliefs,” exacerbating nativism and “narrow” forms of solidarity.
