RepResent Longitudinal and Cross-sectional electoral survey 2019

This data deposit contains two surveys, organised by the FWO/FNRS Excellence of Science Consortium RepResent (Representation and Democratic Resentment) in the context of the 2019 general elections in Belgium. The RepResent project aims to understand how three forms of representations - substantive, procedural and symbolic - affect democratic resentment amongst the public. It brings together scholars from five Belgian universities, including University of Antwerp, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, KU Leuven, UCLouvain, and Université Libre de Bruxelles. For more information on the project, visit http://represent-project.be/ The first dataset is the longitudinal dataset which contains survey data from a CAWI survey amongst representative samples of Flemish, Walloon and Brussels citizens. Respondents in this survey were surveyed twice, once before the elections, and once again immediately after the elections. In total, the wave 1 sample comprises N=7,351 respondents (3,298 in Flanders, 3,025 in Wallonia, and 1,028 in Brussels), whereas the wave 2 sample comprises N=3,917 respondents (1,978 in Flanders, 1,429 in Wallonia, and 510 in Brussels). The second dataset is a cross sectional CAWI survey amongst Flemish (N=1,012) and Walloon (N=1,024) citizens that was organised immediately after the elections. The deposit contains STATA and SPSS versions of each dataset, as well as accompanying codebooks that outline the field work, samples, and full questionnaires

RepResent Cross Sectional Survey Fall 2021

This data deposit contains cross sectional survey data, organised by the FWO/FNRS Excellence of Science Consortium RepResent (Representation and Democratic Resentment) in Fall 2021 amongst adult citizens in Belgium's two largest regions (Flanders and Wallonia). The RepResent project aims to understand how three forms of representations - substantive, procedural and symbolic - affect democratic resentment amongst the public. It brings together scholars from five Belgian universities, including University of Antwerp, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, KU Leuven, UCLouvain, and Université Libre de Bruxelles. For more information on the project, visit http://represent-project.be/ The survey data stems from a CAWI survey amongst a quota sample of Flemish and Walloon citizens, that resemble the population of the respective region in terms of age, gender and education. The field work ran from October 29: 2021 to November 14, 2021. In total, N=2,035 respondents completed the survey and are retained in the data. The deposit contains CSV, STATA and SPSS versions of the dataset, as well as an accompanying codebook that briefly describe the field work, research design, samples, and full questionnaires

European identity and citizens' support for the EU: testing the utilitarian approach

Despite Cohesion Policy represents one-third of the EU budget, research on the role of EU Cohesion Policy in promoting the European identity is still scarce. Taking stock of a new dataset of citizens' support for and identification with the EU identity at the regional level, we aim to answer to the following questions: what are the determinants of support and identification with EU? Do EU fiscal transfers affect public support for the EU and the European identity? Do citizens' awareness about the Cohesion Policy play a role in it? We find that attitudes towards the EU are driven by individuals' perceptions of the economy in their region and of the effectiveness of EU institutions in solving the regional problems. We don\u2019t find evidence of a Cohesion Policy effect, but it provides useful indications for further research

Free movement and EU citizenship: a virtuous circle?

The year 2013 was officially declared the European Year of Citizens (EYC) in the European Union (EU). Through this event, the European Commission (EC) reiterates a ‘virtuous circle’ – between citizenship, free movement and a sense of belonging – able to bring citizens closer to the EU. This article shows how this ‘virtuous circle’ tends to translate into a ‘tunnel vision’ that reduces citizenship to free movement. Through the analysis of EC discourses, of the literature on ‘movers’ and ‘stayers’, and of focus groups with young people from Brussels, we suggest to expand the understanding of free movement and its effects. Overall, this article proposes to re-evaluate the scope of the ‘virtuous circle’ by considering that the ‘stayers’ are also EU citizens, that free movement is not indisputably an attractive right, and that the movers do not unquestionably feel attached to the EU as a result of their mobility
