European integration , politicization , pro-Europeanism , multidimensionality
Abstract:
This cumulative dissertation examines how contestation over European integration changes under conditions of enduring politicization. It argues that the earlier shift from “permissive consensus” to “constraining dissensus” has developed into a phase of “stimulating dissensus.” In this phase, not only Eurosceptic but also Europhile parties and citizens engage more strongly with European integration and EU preferences become more differentiated across specific policy areas. The first study investigates how important European integration is for pro-European voters in their electoral choices. The second analyzes how different types of Europhile parties adjust their EU positions and issue salience from 1999 to 2024. The third examines the multidimensional structure of party and citizen preferences on European integration, using data from the 2024 European Parliament election.
