Subject:
European Union; attitudes and opinions; surveys; United Kingdom
Abstract:
... Solidarity among member states, one of the European Union’s (EU) fundamental values, has recently been put to the test by numerous and diverse challenges that have led to a “crisis of solidarity.” In the United Kingdom, the decision in June 2016 by the electorate to vote to leave the EU revealed the British dimension of this crisis. However, little is known about the perceptions of other European ...

altruism; data collection; people; politics; social class; surveys; Europe
Abstract:
... Starting from a definition of altruism as situations in which a given actor sustains harm while another actor gains benefits, we compare the behaviors of respondents in relation to the members of three main groups of beneficiaries—refugees and asylum seekers, unemployed people, and people with disabilities—through the analysis of original survey data collected in eight European countries (N ~ 16,0 ...

Subject:
attitudes and opinions; data collection; empirical research; funding; politics; risk; surveys; Denmark; France; Germany; Greece; Italy; Poland; Switzerland; United Kingdom
Abstract:
... Many observers have voiced their concerns that solidarity is at risk in Europe. Given this wider context, we are urgently in need of sound empirical analyses examining the various dimensions of solidarity in Europe. Public debates focus on solidarity in many respects but there is to date a lack of empirical evidence to draw upon to inform them. In this context, this special issue emerges from rese ...

ISSN:
1552-3381
Subject:
European Union; Europeans; politics; surveys
Abstract:
... Europeans proclaim a readiness to engage for solidarity in support of others, even across their most immediate environment. However, our knowledge is rather limited on how widespread transnational European solidarity might be. Additionally, we do not know what kinds of beliefs and ideas are patterning cognitively the popular conceptions of transnational European solidarity. This article aims to pr ...

5. Migration Incorporation Regimes and Institutionalized Forms of Solidarity: Between Unconditional Institutional Solidarity and Welfare Chauvinism

Author:

ISSN:
1552-3381
Subject:
attitudes and opinions; immigration; models; politics; social barriers; sociodemographic characteristics
Abstract:
... Despite compelling literature, research has so far failed to provide substantive empirical evidence on the relationship between individual preferences on the inclusion of immigrants into institutionalized forms of solidarity and migration incorporation regimes. I argue that, apart from individual factors and welfare state generosity, citizenship models shape citizen’s attitudes on immigrant social ...

Subject:
politics; refugees; regression analysis; surveys; Europe
Abstract:
... This study aims to explain the solidarity behavior toward a specific needy group that is not part of the national community (refugees) in comparison with vulnerable in-groups (the disabled or the unemployed), taking into account the interplay between individuals’ political orientations and their social dispositions based on the ranking preferences of solidarity beneficiaries. Through a multivariat ...

... The article explores the influence of online participation on individual-level support for burden-sharing measures among EU member states. The analysis is set against the backdrop of the discussion about solidarity in times of EU crises and follows an innovative approach by operationalizing social inclusion in the European Union via online participation. It is argued that the specific nature of th ...

8. Ties of Solidarity and the Political Spectrum: Partisan Cleavages in Reported Solidarity Activity Across Europe

Author:
Kiess, Johannes M.; Trenz, Hans-Jörg

ISSN:
1552-3381
Subject:
attitudes and opinions; nationalities and ethnic groups; politics; refugees; Europe
Abstract:
... The strength of solidarity ties among individuals is often discussed in relation to membership within a community of equals. This assumes strong links between reported solidarity actions, political attitudes, and national identity. We ask, first, whether differences in solidarity engagement can be explained by party affiliation: Do adherents of political parties driven by right-identitarian politi ...

9. Welfare Attitudes and Expressions of (Trans)national Solidarity

ISSN:

Subject:
European Union; Europeans; attitudes and opinions; data collection; motivation; politics; refugees; regression analysis
Abstract:
... The article explores the extent to which Europeans’ welfare attitudes explain (trans)national solidarity behavior. We set our analyses against the backdrop of the broader debate of welfare state consequences: Does a strong welfare state that is considered to take care of those in need diminish or strengthen citizens’ motivations to become engaged in helping others? We distinguish individuals’ soli ...
