This book examines how Europe-wide issues - such as immigration,
cross-national redistribution and further European integration -
have reshaped electoral democracy and party competition across
Europe. After decades of scholars and commentators bemoaning the
limited politicization of the EU nationally, European issues have
come to dominate domestic electoral politics. From the Eurozone
crisis to the struggle of dealing with growing numbers of migrants
and refugees entering Europe, EU-wide issues now occupy a salient
part of the domestic political debate. This book examines what
drives public opinion towards some of the key Europe-wide issues of
the day and how these EU issues shapes electoral behaviour and
party competition. It brings together leading scholars from
different fields to explore what shapes preferences towards
Europe-wide policy issues, how they influence electoral behaviour
and party fortunes and what the implications are for the quality of
European democracy. Overall, this book deepens our understanding of
the state of European democracy domestically in an era in which
national and Europe-wide problems and policy solutions are
inextricably linked. The chapters in this book were originally
published in the Journal of European Public Policy.
