- Abstract
- Specifically, the paper addresses the following question: In the midst of the current crisis, in a time when European citizens are supposedly turning their back from the EU (Hooghe and Marks 2008, Boomgaarden, and al. 2011), are they returning to their nation-state, or are they exiting the national and the European level to the regional level? The paper hypothesizes that the visibility and the traceability of public policy (Pierson, 1993) are key to the explanation of their feedback effects on citizens’ preferences for the national, European and regional level respectively. Methodologically, the paper relies on comparative data on six European countries (France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain) and several policy sectors. The paper is based on the regional authority index (Hooghe, Marks, Schakel, 2010), the europeanization index of domestic legislatures (Brouard, and al. 2012), as well as survey data (EVS, ESS and Eurobarometers).
