This stability masks a geographic realignment 🌍
Regions closer to Russia’s border became more supportive of common EU defence and foreign policies, and of enlargement.
Areas hardest hit by the energy crisis briefly backed a common EU energy policy, but that effect faded fast.

Using Eurobarometer data, we find that a major threat like the Russian invasion did not fundamentally change how people view EU policy solutions —
👉 except for a clear rise in support for EU enlargement.
The war reshaped the EU agenda, but not citizens' attitudes.

Together with @jellekoedam.bsky.social, @tinepaulsen.bsky.social, and @nicolaiberk.bsky.social, we brought together an amazing group of researchers doing exciting work here in Zurich — and it turned into a super fun, engaging workshop. Huge thanks to everyone who joined and made it so special!

Based on original time-series data of party discourse and voter preferences in France, Italy and the United Kingdom (1992-2016), we find that mainstream parties often aligned with public sentiment on Europe without increasing the topic's prominence in their discourse.

Building on the foundational work of @chitbazoo.bsky.social, @thomasmmeyer.bsky.social, @markuswagner.bsky.social, we combine spatial and salience models to study party responsiveness, and we theorize four scenarios.

Excited to share our latest publication in the EJPR with Cyrille Thiébaut!
We study how mainstream parties have adapted to an increasingly Eurosceptic public, unveiling a novel strategy of “silent responsiveness”.
