This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the determinants of EU support between 2006 and
2015 and of electoral behavior during the European Parliament elections. In light of the
Eurozone financial and debt crisis it also examines how political and economic turbulences
have affected EU citizens' stance on democracy and their support for EU institutions. It
explores measures taken in the context of the Euro crisis management and the reactions of EU
citizens in order to shed new light on the determinants and developments of EU support. The
author highlights the heterogeneity of the developments between the member states and
identifies social political and economic facets of the crisis that have changed the ways
citizens form their political attitudes towards the EU. The book delivers a profound account of
the Euro crisis integrating approaches from political economy psychology sociology and
public opinion research. It will appeal to scholars and anyone interested in learning more
about the declining citizen support in the EU and the heterogeneous developments in the member
states which may significantly endanger the long-term existence of the European Union.
