The way we are governed is no longer decided on a purely national
level. This book systematically explores the attitudes of European
publics to this internationalization of governance. Trends and
sources of support for European integration are examined. Are
positive attitudes due to hand-outs from Brussels, or to the
economic benefits of the single market? What is the role of class,
of education, and of leadership? Is there a European identity and a
basic level of intra-European trust? How do problems of
subsidiarity and of democratic deficit affect legitimacy and how do
all of these issues relate to the role of the nation-state? Among
other issues, the analysis also looks at enlargement, at EFTA, at
Central and Eastern Europe and at attitudes to NATO both before and
after 1989. The problems are examined from the different
perspectives of integration theory, of international relations, and
of comparative politics and a final chapter spells out the
implications for the future of European governance. Series
description This set of five volumes is an exhaustive study of
beliefs in government in post-war Europe. Based upon an extensive
collection of survey evidence, the results challenge widely argued
theories of mass opinion, and much scholarly writing about citizen
attitudes towards government and politics. The series arises from a
research project sponsored by the European Science Foundation.
Reviews of the series: `The quality of the empirical analysis is
consistently high...[an] important collection of empirical studies
addressing the debate about the "crisis of representation" in
Europe.' Journal of Public Policy `These volumes contain the work
of many of the most important scholars in the field of public
opinion in Europe today...These five volumes represent a major
contribution to comparative politics, especially the study of mass
politics. The chapters provide a wealth of information about public
opinion in contemporary Europe and the relationship between state
and society...The volumes clearly will be read by all students of
European politics...' Times Educational Supplement `The Beliefs in
Government series is a monumental achievement. It tells us at least
everything we want to know about the structure of European public
opinion'. The Good Society Reviews of Public Opinion and
Internationalized Governance `a tremendously integrated piece of
work, reflecting genuine collaboration on the part of the editors
and the contributors... This book gives an insight into the
legitimacy of a whole host of integrative processes and integration
outcomes, and as a result deserves to find its way onto appropriate
academic reading lists....a fascinating and sobering read'. Times
Higher Educational Supplement `an important contribution to the
current debates, both political and scholarly...certainly the most
ambitious and comprehensive study to date of this range of
problems, and their findings will have to be taken into account by
all serious students of European integration'. Political Studies
